[@tuduleshiggins8832]

@@ileanasantamaria2364 First I respect what the young lady is preaching! However, I disagree with her. I use avocado with a mixture of green oils weekly, and my hair is growing like crazy, I already had long hair, but know it is past my bra strap. What was a game changer, was using clarifying shampoo, and conditioner. Shelf life products have no life. The young lady is selling a line of products. Know your hair. For example I stop flat ironing and blow drying.

YES! Finally someone confirms my suspicions. My hair has so much breakage, but I don't blow dry, or use heat tools. All I do wash 2x week. However, I use lots of conditioner. A stylist told me "You can't over condition" but I started suspecting my excessive conditioning is damaging my hair. Thank you for this. Love the tip about washing correctly to set up conditioner.

[@Moi_81]

I think using rinse out and mask along with leaving them both in too long (20-30mins) is causing my damage and dryness. I was told to do this by a few stylist.

Over 10 years natural and I’m still learning- check. Let me go sit my a** in a corner, I’m in time out right now to think about my life decisions.🤦🏽‍♀️😂

I actually use rinse out conditioner first to detangle, then wash my hair, then use deep conditioner...i also never condition longer than the product says, i try to always use heat, but i don’t believe in overnight deep conditioning unless it’s a natural oil (pre poo) and i wash out the next morning. Understanding this totally changed my hair care, youtube literally ruined my hair for years.

Wow that's true about the over-conditioning. I was rushing through my last wash day and only left conditioner in my hair long enough to detangle instead of leaving it in all day like I usually do.

Mind you, not all of the advice I received was bad, but I guess that one wasn't great for me!

[@Effervescenceboo]

Thank you so much for promoting use of products per instructions. There are too many folks on KZbin saying to just use a product how you want to and if it doesn't work then that product isn't for your hair. If you use the product as instructed and don't get the outcome you want, THEN that product may not be for your hair. The instructions are there for a reason. Everybody's hair is different but that's why there are so many products on the market.

[@creamycazz1]

Mo THANK YOU!!! I’ve been trying to answer this question about deep treatments & wash-out conditioners for years & no one on KZbin has been able to answer! I only recently started doing it the correct way after sitting & thinking scientifically to myself like ‘if a deep treatment goes deep into the hair shaft, putting a conditioner first will only block the process 🤔’. So happy to hear someone finally confirm this for us. I think it’s been a HUGE overlooked step for sure for us naturals by far. Your hair looks amazing by the way!

[@emadinah]

Yes, WHY has no one said this before about the conditioners?

[@denyshadials5702]

African Hair God along with other stylists on KZbin made that point years ago. I’m sure it’s somewhere in Mo’s older videos too. People just do what they want because the follow trends of more popular KZbinrs that’s all.

[@realmaureenoyakhilome]

I am a very tight coiled head and how I learnt not to leave products in my hair nothing longer than shower time was when the only product that made my coils pop would break a piece of it after every 30 minutes routine. 😂 It breaks my heart to hear people say nothing works for them. Give it time , I begin to see results most times on 3rd use (that’s a new product that seems stubborn ) but never longer than shower time = 10 minutes. Everything you say here is true! ❤

[@goldenangel6015]

Exactly the same here

[@dilysgirl8311]

I have high porosity hair sometimes I need the rinse out to avoid tangling. The key for me is to shampoo before the dc which is usually a light protein.

[@cutenobi]

When my hair is extremely tangled, I usually tangle it again after shampooing with a rinse out conditioner before deep conditioning. But now I will detangle with my deep conditioner.

[@DaFaBBMiSs3s]

@@cutenobi I'm going to try what you said, detangle with deep conditioners. Because that what I use the rinse out conditioner for.

[@cutenobi]

DaFaBBMiSs3s The way I’m going to detangle with deep conditioner is to shampoo first, apply deep conditioner to tangled hair, and not do any detangling until after I have applied heat and then begin detangling with the deep conditioner and spray water on hair if necessary to remove tangles.
