QuoteReplyTopic: Does hot water really work! Posted: November 13 2004 at 11:50am
everyone is saying water works , does it matter if its hot or just water . i mean can i damp my hair and just brush or should i soak it and brush it until it strarts to dry and then rewet it .
Hot. b/c hotness helps damp hair. Think about when your running 1mile @ school and u start to sweat. The heat and sweat is makin ur hair mad soft. So the cold water would make ur hair like slick and not really soft. So , with that i wud guess warm water makes ur hair soft temporary so u can brush it.

Q. How often should I use a deep penetrating conditioner? A. You should condition your hair every time you wet it.
Q. Are leave-in conditioners any good? Will they harm your hair? A. Leave-in conditioners are perfect for detangling, sheen and general conditioning.
Q. How much conditioner should I use? A. More is better than less. The idea is to seal the cuticular spaces to prevent moisture loss and encourage light reflection. Additionally, a cool water rinse will leave more conditioner in your hair than a warm water rinse.
Q. Should I use hot, cold or warm water to rinse out my conditioner? A. Conditioners are designed to keep the good stuff in and the bad stuff out. Hotter water will remove more conditioner than warm water, which will remove more than cool etc.
Q. My gray hair is unmanageable. Does gray hair need more conditioning than black or brown hair? A. Nope. Traditionally, as hair turns gray, it changes in regard to internal structure. That could be what you are experiencing.
Q. My Grandma swears that the old conditioner of mayonnaise and eggs works as well as any professional product on the market. Will this harm my hair? If not, how often can I use it. A. It will condition your hair but will leave a milky coating and attracts germs. Motions Moisture Plus works much, much better.
Q. My hair is dry and somewhat damaged from over processing, is it safe to leave on conditioner overnight. A. Leaving your conditioner on overnight won’t increase the conditioning. Moisture swells hair and while it is swollen it is fragile. In other words, some strands will break while you sleep.
Q. A stylist told me that my hair will feel lighter and be more manageable if I don’t use a deep penetrating conditioner, is this true? A. Your hair will feel lighter, but that is a bad thing for most Black people’s hair. You want that conditioner on your hair! Change stylists!
Q. Does deep penetrating conditioner weigh my hair down? A. Crème conditioners are heavy, which is why they are perfect for Black hair. If your hair is fine or thin, use the Leave-in.
Q. Will conditioning help dry and brittle hair? A. Hair is dry because it has lost moisture. The hair traditionally has less moisture than the hair, so it will pull moisture molecules from the hair if the hair has not been sealed with conditioners. Brittle hair is damaged hair. Conditioners will keep damaged hair soft and pliable, reducing breakage.
Q. Is there anything different that I should do when conditioning my tinted hair? A. You might avoid hot oil type conditioners. Most will remove tint.
Q. Does conditioning make your hair shinier? A. Absolutely! Hair is dull because it absorbs light, as opposed to reflecting it. Conditioners seal the cuticular openings, encouraging light reflection.
Q. I live in Florida and our weather is hot and humid. My hair swells every time I step outside the door. Will conditioning my hair more often or longer help it withstand the humidity. A. Hair does not swell from humidity unless the relaxer was done improperly. (It droops from humidity). You should see a stylist.
Q. My stylist sets me under the dryer when she conditions my hair, is this necessary? A. A few minutes under a dryer will speed the conditioning, but not increase the benefits.
Q. Does conditioning help split ends? A. Nothing will help split ends except a pair of scissors.
Q. How long should I sit under the dryer with conditioner on my hair? How hot should the dryer be? A. Five minutes is time enough. Medium heat is fine. Excessive heat swells relaxed hair and causes very slight damage.
Q. My sister always puts a plastic cap on her head when she puts conditioner in her hair, when I asked her why she wears the cap, she didn’t know, she said that she saw somebody else doing it. Before I do anything, I want to know why I am doing it. Can you help? A. A heat cap will speed conditioning, but not increase the level of conditioning.
Q. Will conditioning help your hair grow? A. No, but it will help it stay on your head.
Q. Will it hurt my hair if I leave conditioner in my hair while I get my hair micro-braided? A. No, be careful to not stretch it.
Q. Should I condition my hair more or less according to the weather or seasons? A. When the weather is cold…and the heat is on…keep a pot of water simmering on the stove. You will feel a difference.
Q. My hair is very limp, am I over conditioning? A. You might be using a conditioner that is too heavy. Try the Motions leave-in conditioner.
Q. What is the maximum time I should leave conditioner in my hair? A. Ten minutes is fine.
Q. Will you explain to me just what deep penetrating conditioner does that regular conditioner does not? A. Deep penetrating conditioners are designed to penetrate the cuticle (outer layer of the hair).
Q. I read on the directions, to rinse out conditioner completely and style as usual, How can I tell when conditioner is completely out of my hair? A. You don’t want to remove all of the conditioner. It conditions by coating hair and sealing imprecations.
Q. Will it harm my hair, if conditioner is not rinsed out completely? A. As stated in the previous response, you should leave traces of the conditioner in your hair, except with the leave-in, which should remain 100% in the hair.
Q. Someone once told me that conditioner took his or her hair out. Is this possible? If so, how? A. That is unlikely.
Q. Should I apply more conditioner on the ends of my hair than at the roots? A. Every part of every strand should be coated.
Q. My beautician charges me for a deep penetrating conditioner every time I get my hair done, which is every two weeks. She said this would keep my hair healthy and growing. Is she over doing it to get more money from me? Is it necessary that I condition this much? A. You should condition your hair every time you wet it.
Q. Does conditioning help split-ends? A. Nope!
Q. My girlfriend puts conditioner on her baby’s hair; the baby is only 2 years old. Isn’t this much to early? Isn’t it too strong for a baby? When is a good age to start conditioning? A. Motions conditioners will not harm hair; they help all hair. Condition the child’s hair when it is shampooed.
Q. Should men condition their hair as much as women should? A. Absolutely.
Q. I wear a wig everyday, is it still necessary that I condition my natural hair as normal or can I get away with doing it less often. A. If your hair is covered constantly, it is weaker that if it were not covered. Condition it frequently.
Q. Is children’s conditioner adequate enough conditioning for an adult head? A. The Motions for Kids conditioner is designed for more detangling action. That is the primary difference.
Q. Should I use conditioner on purchased (weeved) hair? A. Yes.
