Do people on this list use conditioners? If so what kind? Do you
rinse it out completely or rinse it lightly?
Get the 32oz. bottle of Tresseme'. It's thick as hell. leave it in for as long as you've got time. I say, shampoo first thing then do the rest of yer warshin' and shavin' while the conditioner is in yer hair. This will keep you from standing around counting "1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi, 3 Mississippi....." for however long you want to leave the stuff in. Warsh off the blood from your last pitbull attack, -ROTFL-, shave your back, scrape your corns, hell-recaulk the bathroom, what ever passes the time. the point is that you want to leave it on as long as is practical. That's why I shampoo and condition first thing. After I rinse the soap off I turn the shower to about 1/3 of the pressure I use to rid myself of incriminatig forensic evidence-just kidding, officer-when rinsing out conditioner. if you rinse out conditioner at the same pressure you rinse off soap, you run the risk of plastering your hair into matts, defeating the whole point of conditioning your hair in the 1st place.
Hi Ken,
I wouldn't be so dramatic as Ragnar ;)
Yes, I personally use Joico's Altima Conditioner (US). It has a very nice fragrance and really leaves my hair soft and manageable after conditioning.
Due to processed chemicals and cleasing agents which are present in conditioners, leave the conditioner in your hair about 5~10 min, then remember to rinse thoroughly with cool water.
After the wash, apply a separate leave-in conditioner if you wish to. I'm using Bealite (Japan).
Hiya Ken!
I use conditioners. Yes yes I do... can't go with out it... so lets just get that straight. I'm sure you can go with out, but who wouldn't want soft silk hair.
I personally use Bumble & Bumble's: Extra Thick Conditioner. It is made from seaweed and other assorted mostly natural stuff. It doesn't smell like seaweed mind you, it has a nice crisp smell in the shower, and when dried on hair it smells VERY pleasant. This conditioner is made for hair that has been sun burned, crispy-criitered, bleached, botched, and is really dry or crackly. As some people may know, (if not then I'm in a boat by me self.) if you weren't as kind ot it over the years or year, i.e, you died it repeatedly, (raises hand) bleached it with a cheap bleach, (raises hand) braid it and left it in for a month, (raises hand) or was mean to it by forcing through snags and stuff, (folds hands in his lap, nope nope nope.) you can get the dry crackly-ness. In that case this conditioner is great. It fixies all the littlies holies and makes you hair all nice and soft uh huh!
I leave it in much like how rangar does. I shampoo, then I condition my hair, making sure I got every strand of hair on my head. Then I leave it in while I do the rest of the whole showering thing... I leave it in till pretty much I'm about to get out of the shower, or the hot water starts to get cold, which ever one comes first, then I use the same pressure of water, but I softly work my hands through my hair shaking it a little then letting water wash away the conditioner. Shake, wash, Shake, wash, SHAKE'N'WASH YEAH!
Okay, I have rambled on long enough, so I'm going to stop now.

I use the St. Ives products, switching back and forth every couple of weeks depending what's on sale. I rinse it all out before getting out of the shower. Once a week I also use their Hair Repair product down to the ends, again rinsing it out completely. I think that has helped me prevent getting split ends. I've never tried a leave-in conditioner.
