How do you wash/cleanse your hair?

[LoversLullaby]

I use CO to wash my hair, with a vinegar rinse afterwards, and Fox's SBCC as a leave in. I use Suave Naturals Juicy Green Apple conditioner for everything

S&C a few times a week. My scalp gets little pimples if I don't give it a thorough cleaning (with SLS or ALS) regularly.

Usually I use a sulfate-free shampoo followed by a cone-free conditioner 2x a week or so. Sometimes I CWC and on occasion I just rinse my hair (WO) depending on my activity.

I think I'm going to try using shampoo again. I got a small sized bottle of that triple nutrition stuff and I think with that new tip in the article section of working condish into the hair (FABULOUS tip, btw, you basically run your hands through your hair for a slow count to 300, worked WAY better than I thought it would!) it'll take care of the frizzies without weighing it down.

We'll see!

Although I will WO wash most days; poo is only when it needs it.

I picked other. I usually co-wash with two conditioners. One for washing, one to condition. I use some products with some cones so occasionally, like once every two months I use real shampoo to remove any buildup. Just whenever the conditioner doesn't seem to soak in. I throw in a protein treatment whenever my hair really needs it. I deep condition it some. Often I just wash it with a light conditioner and use a little of the second conditioner as a leave in. I picked other because I do different things to it depending on how its feeling.

Just a simple shampoo and conditioner works fine for my hair. I wash everyday and this has always worked fine for me and I never felt the need to experiment other washing methods or even stretching washes. I usually use coconut oil on the ends before I wash though. All I have to do is not use the same shampoos and conditioners all the time. Usually I'll have three sets in my shower at all times that I rotate depending on what I feel my hair needs.

Right before I joined LHC, I tried water only and didn't have enough patience for it.
Then I went through a weird phase of using shampoo only.
Then I found COing! Which at first was heaven. Soooo soft!

But now, after a couple months of just COing, my hair has been feeling kind of waxy, so I'm trying just the conventional shampoo on my roots and conditioner on my length. In between I just use water and conditioner.

I am on vacation so I recently switched routines. When school is in session, I co-wash every other day. During summer vacation, I wash once a week using the normal s&c (with a deep conditioner to follow).

When I have the time to do the mixtures I do the oil shampoo, but the whole melting, mixing, lemon juice pressing sometimes gets in the way. Otherwise I'll do a CWC.

I use CO in general, but I like to shampoo my hair before a henna! It doubles up as a clarify, and I like to think it makes the henna absorb into my roots better.
