Re: Prep hair for hair typing?
If you finger-comb conditioner through your hair before the final rinse, I also recommend scrunching your wet hair lightly after rinsing in order to reactivate the wave pattern (if any). It doesn't seem to make any real difference for 1's, and 3's and 4's curls will bounce back no matter what, but a lot of us 2's have waves that are very susceptible to "persuasion" by even small amounts of combing. I wasn't able to see my true hair type until I did a little scrunching at the end of my shower, because just finger-combing the conditioner through during the wash was enough to pull a noticeable amount of the curl out.
If you don't put product in, light scrunching when wet isn't enough to set waves that wouldn't already be there -- it just helps the existing waves remember their natural position. (At least, that's my theory, and I'm sticking to it! )
