I use it.But honestly it does depend on the person.It works well for me.But my husbands hair doesnt take to it at all.For me I use my first conditioner(aussie 3 minute miracle,deep)and I use it as I would shampoo.I scrub it into my scalp and length.I then rinse and apply a second conditioner halfway down only( john frieda's sheer blonde,and nuetral protein filler)I leave this on for 15 minutes or so.i try to leave it on as long as possible.I do this every wash.But once every two weeks I shampoo(loreal kids soothie smoothie shampoo,extra gentle)first to clarify.I leave it on a few minutes.Rinse and then follow with my normal conditioners.I know my conditioners have cones in them but they have not affected my hair.Like I said you have to try out things to see what works for you.My hair has also been chemically treated and needs lots of conditioners to mask any damage.Alot of people have had success with less conditioning. -------------

I take a cheap conditioner--so far I've tried a few types of Suave--and dilute it with at least as much water as conditioner. Then I slather that all over my wet hair and scrub gently into the scalp. It kind of "falls" down the length while I'm doing this. Then I let it sit on my head for 20 minutes-half an hour, rinse very very well (when you think you're done rinsing, rinse once more), then apply a heavier conditioner to just the ends and rinse out. Voila! ------------- Mels |

I have 3 different washing methods. The first one involves shampoo the
other two do not. Note that my hair is currently at least 30 inches
long. PurpleBubba's Everchanging "No Rules" Wash Routines My Shampoo & Conditioner Only Wash. (An Oxymoron ;) ) I start with warm to hot water because I want my cuticles to open. I apply shampoo. I then rinsed still using the warm to hot water. I apply conditioner. For my hair I do about 3 globs. By then it's well coated. I then grab my hair in a tail and kinda put it on top of my head like a horsehoe or upside down U shape. I put a plastic bag / cap on. I then scrunch the bag down to make it close to my head. I then put a claw clip on the outside to hold it down. The reason for the cap is it lets your body heat stay inside and acts like a heat cap a bit. I then sit for about 20 minutes, with a radio on and drinking my coffee. I then rinse off conditioner with warm to hot water. I then apply the same conditioner and then rinse right away kinda like the bottle says. Sometimes I will turn the last rinse water from warm to cool to finish. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Conditioner Only #1 This is the same as above except the step with shampoo is removed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Conditioner Only #2 This is a quick version of CO #1 where I apply conditioner then rinse right away without using a cap or waiting. I then re-apply conditioner and rinse right away again. This is for when I'm not taking a bath but just a shower. -------------

Hey Adam Heat has the potential to make hair "warp". If exposed to a lot of heat, hair develops frizz or uneven drying patterns. I guess it could also rinse away the C. Great point Anais ------------- http://anaissatin.livejournal.com"> my LJ , 40 inches long

Warm or cold water is the surest bet.
