    I really just started deep conditioning on a regular basis recently. I tend to prepoo when I have allotted my time well, wash, condition and then deep condition. I can't tell if my hair loves it yet but it's softer and my new growth hasn't gotten out of hand.

      Wow!Your method also seems to be a bit different and the deep conditioner doesn't get washed out. Now, don't be surprised when I try your method.

    After I shampoo for a few reasons: I prepoo with oils, water is the ultimate moisturizer so I like my hair to be slightly damp and sometimes I use sulfate shampoos and although I don't use the extremely drying kind, I would think my hair would suffer if I didn't DC afterwards.

      I think that's the best way to save time since using shampoo after the dc means using a conditioner to replenish the moisture.

    I didn't know any of this. I usually just go with the flow and shampoo then condition. This is all news to me...

    I usually shampoo and then deep condition. On days that I co-wash, I deep condition first, just out of convenience

Washing Your Hair In Harmattan

With this year's harmattan being so severe, protective styling is definitely a must. Unfortunately, I can't wear any styles yet with this short hair do what can i do? Right from the wash day, my attention has been on preventing moisture loss. This means from the shampoo process to the sealing process, each step involves maximizing moisture. I probably shampoo once every 2 weeks but I water rinse very often. This keeps the moisture levels up as well as keeping the hair less dirty.  I do well to sprit z the hair each morning before anything is done. With the new growth so thick, getting the hair damp is very crucial for moisture retention. I love length but moisture retention during this time of year is the key to a healthy hair. Another form of moisture retention technique I employ is ensuring that the deep conditioners and conditioners I use are moisture based.
