Wait, what? Re: washing your hair - help a girl out!

I just read in another post that I'm apparently washing my hair incorrectly, and that is why my hair sucks.

Are you supposed to shampoo only the roots and condition only the ends?

  • First of all where did you read that? And I wash all my hair, but only condition from the nape of my neck down (in otherwords my ponytail). I don't know if that that is right or not, but I have always done that or my hair gets oily.

  • It depends on your hair. I only wash the roots if I just washed my hair the day before or if it isn't that dirty. I put conditionere more on the ends because too much at the roots makes my hair oily looking. If your hair is super dry all over, slather it up with conditioner :)
  • I've just asked the girls in my office ( yes, I called a meeting about this ) and we're all in shock. (granted, only 3 of us are not Chinese - and even the Chinese girls had never heard of this). Very interesting.

    I have a feeling we are all going to be coming to work on Monday with fantastic hair.

    What are other beauty tips that I should know that I probably don't? Any tips for shaving, eyebrows, etc?

  • This is true. It's not that I don't get both all over my hair, but I concentrate the shampoo on the roots/scalp and the conditioner on the ends. If you put the shampoo on the roots and really work it in, then you get a good lather that spreads throughout your hair.  This is how they usually do it when they wash it at my haircuts too.

    yep- true. 

  • I have VERY dry hair and I also tend to wash it only 1-2 x a week.  So I actually use my conditioner like shampoo and use it everywhere...it works for me really well and I tend to like my hair on days when I haven't shampoo'd more than my shampoo days.
    I like pineapples...they make life just so much more interesting.
  • I also shampoo roots (which ends up lathering up most of my hair) and focus conditioning on the ends.

    I like to buy Clairol Nice n Easy Colour Seal Gloss Conditioner about once every 5-6 months. I don't have colored hair but it does a fantastic job at adding shine and conditioning the ends. I use a small squirt of it and let it rest on the ends while I shave or exfoliate. Then I rinse it out and my hair is silky smooth! The little bottle lasts for about 3-4 times and I only do it about once every 2-3 weeks.

     

  • Use super cheap conditioner for shaving your legs.

    Comb conditioner in to dry hair, twist up, cover with a shower cap/plastic bag, and let deep condition for 20 minutes.

    I'm in love.

  • Wow - people put a lot of thought into hair! I shampoo and condition, but it seems far too faffy to think about where things go... But then I've got a 5min or less mummy shower and can't even shave my legs as often as I'd like! And my hair generally looks pretty awful!

  • Remember when I said my shampoo lasts like a year.  This is why.  I also hardly use any at all.

  • I have heard this, but I never actually remember to do it while I'm in the shower.  Maybe I will remember today!

  • There are also some harsh ingredients to avoid in your shampoo.  This page gives a good overview of it:
