To everyone who uses/used Aussie 3MM:
I have the Deeeep formula of this brand and I was wondering, how often do you all use 3MM? Is it an every day thing, every other day, once a week, or how long? I just used it recently for the first time in a while and liked the results very much. Just wondered how often I should use it, as I fear it may be too heavy for everyday use.
Also, is it reccomended to always wash first when using this?
Hi Sid, I would say use it as often as you like, there's no real harm! Personally, I used to condition with it every 3 or 4 days, and I've stopped using it now, except I scraped the bottom of my bottle a week ago because I was out of conditioner and didn't want my hair to suffer!:)
Oh yea, and I left it on for a good half hour before washing it out. As my hair returned to what people would call 'normal' hair, it became too heavy and so I changed to Aussie Mega.
I use 3mm "deeeeep" once a week. I wash only around my scalp, then apply the 3mm only to the tips of my hair (last 5 inches or so)
Is rubbing conditioner into the scalp a bad idea? Not just 3MM, but any conditioner.
Well, you have to understand the purpose of conditioner. Conditioner is designed to replace the oils in your hair (sebum) that were broken down and washed away when you shampooed. The ends of your hair are the part that get the least amount of this oil, and naturally suffer the most damage. Unless you have extremely dry scalp, the first couple of centimeters of hair will get replenished within a day or two, and so rubbing conditioner into your scalp isn't probably bad for it, but doesn't really accomplish much either.
