I went shopping today and had a complimentary facial at a cosmetics counter. Well....that started the "pampering" binge. {grin}So, I stopped at a salon and tried something new: deep conditioning. The conditioner was applied and rubbed in, and a plastic bag was put on my head, and I sat under a warm dryer. After 10 minutes, the hair dryer automatically became cooler for about five minutes, and my hair was rinsed.Background: I had long hair, but now have short and am growing it back out. However, my hair is usually treated very gently (no chemicals or heating implements) and is quite soft. However, after the conditioner, it was like pure silk!Question 1) If you use a deep conditioner, how often do you use it (and do you use a warm dryer with it?) and do you regularly use heating implements and/or coloring or perms?Question 2) My scalp seems pretty normal, not excessively oily or dry. My hair is pretty normal too, but tends to be more on the oily side than dry, if I had to choose. However, I've read several sources that say conditioner should just be applied to the ends, not the scalp at all. My hair is above shoulder length and it's impossible not to touch the scalp at all with deep conditioning. Does anyone know -- is there any harm with conditioner touching the scalp?BTW, you know that I asked the name of the conditioner. {grin} The stylist told me it was a conditioning balm by Biolage (Matrix). I don't really have anything with which to compare it, so I can't really rave or complain about it! I do imagine, though, that about any conditioner used like that might produce silky hair, at least initially, though. This is one area in which I am most unfamiliar.Thanks!Jena
