Do you use the same brand for shampoo and conditioner?
Hi Val,Thank you for the A2A.I personally do not use the same brand for shampoo and conditioner.In fact, none of my hair care products ranging from my shampoo, to my rinse out conditioner, to my leave in conditioner, are from the same manufacturer.For me, I select products for very specific goals I have for my hair.As a result, the shampoo I use for wet washing, is always diluted. I never use it full strength. Even though I dilute it, I always use a smoothing shampoo because my hair is naturally coarse, dry and wavy/curly.Bottom line, everyone should select the shampoo and conditioning products which match their hair’s current needs and long term goals.Whether or not the products match is not important.What is important is how the products work for your hair type, texture, length and current needs. If the products match and they work for you, that’s cool.If not, there’s no need to worry.The Gods of Hair Brands will not strike you dead in the shower if you mix and match. You have my promise.Happy washing.
Is it bad to wash your hair with just conditioner and no shampoo?
i have thick, dry, curly hair :( lol it's the worst. but i was reading this article that says that shampoo's contain silicones, which are ingredients that are actually found in dish washing soap and laundry detergent. they're meant to cut down oil and dirt, which makes your hair really dry. so it recommended to use just conditioner to wash your hair? do you think that's bad? thanks :)
Can I use conditioner everyday instead of shampoo?
I do, and it works splendidly. All these naysayers? They fell pray to marketing and what their moms told them. Both marketing and moms are wrong all the time.Shampoo strips natural oil from your hair and scalp, causing it to produce more. When you stop stripping natural oils, your scalp adjusts and stops producing so much. Your hair stops getting as greasy. You can go longer without having to wash it.Conditioners generally have cleaning agents in them as well - just not the same ones. I use one every other day, because I like the way it smells. Since I’ve given up shampoo, my hair has more shine and, unbelievably, volume - without the dried-up poofiness that shampoo causes.So, the side effects of not using shampoo are:Better looking hairMore time between washesMore money in your bank account that you are not spending on shampoo and all the products to replenish the moisture you removedFeeling like a boss for not falling for “this is what everyone must do every day forever” ployNow in all fairness, there is a disclaimer. If you put loads of heavy products in your hair, especially wax, it will get weighed down over time. If you take mud baths, get splashed with dirt playing sports, or regularly sign up for Tough Mudder Run, maybe your hygiene will need more tough love. In that case, do by all means shampoo every once in a while.
Is it a bad idea to not condition your hair after shampooing it?
Not necessarily, this depends entirely on the state of your hair. your hair is alive. Being alive means that it is overall and has its own regulatory system. This means that you don't need frequently to care for it like cleaning your hair, it will make the hair's own adjustment system become worse if you condition it too often, which is also not conducive to your hair growth. So, in general, there is no need to care for your hair every time after you wash your hair. Look carefully at the state of your hair, If it is becoming dry and frizzy, you must condition your hair after your washing.
What happens if you use shampoo and conditioner for color treated hair when your hair is NOT color treated?
Nothing bad will happen. Because these types of shampoos and conditioners contain less harsh detergents, they are gentler on hair. If nothing else, it might make your hair feel softer.
Is it okay to not use conditioner?
I think its just a reaction of your hair to using different chemicals. When I was younger I used to only use baby shampoo all the way until I was in the seventh grade. Then during puberty I began to use head and shoulders and pantene. They entirely ruined my hair. Its the chemicals and treatment.
Is it okay if I wash my hair with only conditioner?
It’s really up to you,but conditioners are only meant to soften your hair,not actually clean it. Have you tried a shampoo&conditioner(2 in one)mix? It’s a shampoo&a conditoner both,in one bottle. Pantene makes one&so does Finesse. There are more brands,but I don’t recall the names. That might help,if you’re looking for simplicity. Or if you just don’t like too much soap in your hair,just use a very small amount&only on the scalp area&rinse it very thoroughly,after scrubbing&then use your conditioner.
