hey ,, this really helps me avoid tangles when washing my hair,,, apply condit b4 u shampoo and then,, when condiitoning after,, apply conditioner when hair is soaking wet and use a large amount,, when i do this i dont even have to comb ,, the hair does not tangle and I can avoid damaging combing when the hair is wet which causes lots of breakage!!u can just use a cheapy conditoner like vo5 for this,,just load it on soaking wet hair and even add water to it then rinse carefully in a downward motion,, my hair just slips when i do this....  ------------- Hair type: 3b some c?, fine strands, last relaxer sept 05, never again!!! current :ap length on sides,,nearly bsl in back, damn those old frazzled ends! I am hair OBSESSED |

When you apply conditioner before the shampoo do you leave it on or rinse it out?

I do this method also. It works awsome. I usually use some cholesterol or hair mayo before I shampoo. I used cholesterol and Dove conditioner for a "no poo" yesterday and it worked great. ------------- |

I've never really had problems with tangles. But I always put some conditioner or shea oil in my hair before i shampoo for extra moisture. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
