Today I tried to lubricate my curls more with conditioner for easier detangling. IN the past I try and avoid conditioner up above my ear length because conditioner build up on my scalp is not fun nor is it healthy and I have a hard time rinsing it all bye-bye. But today I did apply up close to the crown/roots because I wanted to detangle in a more gentle way. After I detangled/fingercombed/ combed, I did the squish-condish method, scrunching all that lovely conditioner up and into the hair, not scalp, but just scrunching. Then I rinsed after a few.
POSTIVES: It was way easier to detangle, the comb glided through and I shed less hair.
BUT:: I am pretty sure that I had conditioner left on my scalp because when I went to scratch my head, a whole bunch of white gunk came off, I mean a lot!! I'm pretty sure that what got applied to the top part of my hair, rinsed in and down into the scalp, instead of away. :stirpot:Not a good formula or look to go to church with.
My question is: for the rest of you who do lots of conditioner to detangle in the shower, how do you get conditioner close to roots so you can detangle (because usually I have lots of tangles on the top half of my hair) but still rinse all that product out and down the drain and down and into the scalp, if you know what I mean. Or should I just continue to avoid conditioner no my top part of my head and detangle with great care and no product???? Problems always!! Even with gel, I get great definition on bottom half, because I scrunch it in, but then I don't want product build up so I avoid the top half and have Poofy curls on top and defined on the bottom half. Yikes!! I'm 34 and still don't know how to "do my hair"!
