    Posted: May 04 2000 at 10:43pm
I've recently started wearing my natural hair pulled back with only a homemade mixture of Lets-Jam gel and Pantene conditioner in it. So far I LOVE the results!!!!! No greasiness, no dryness, no flakes - just shine, waves and control!!!! It stays for days and doesn't feel "hard" like gels sometimes can.

Has anyone else tried this techniques? And, if so, am I doing any damage by leaving in a conditioner that wasn't ment to be "leave-in"?

I sometimes do the same thing and so far I haven't noticed anything negative from it. I use Aussie 3 Minute Miracle and gel and love it. Wax makes my scalp itchy, so I stepped away from that.

no it won't harm your hair to leave it in i've done that for as long as I can remember(the pantene) I gon't use gels so I can't say for sure about the gel.
I also put Pantene in a spray bottle with water and spray it and leave it.

Hmmm I'm pretty sure I have a jar of Lets Jam somewhere in the cupboard.  I'll have to try that.  I stopped using Let's Jam as it left my hair feeling so hard and dried out by itself.  My hair does well with pantene products so I will give that a go on a special occasion.

Nope haven't tried it with conditioner. I've used it with lotion and gel tho and it worked for me. No hardness at all.
