I Deep Conditioned BEFORE Shampooing! Will That Damage Your Hair?

[@JoAnnaTheSoulStringerJohnson]

My hair is definitely 4C and natural. My hair is hip length. I've always and I do mean ALWAYS deep conditioned my hair during my pre poo phase. I then wash my hair and condition and style my hair like normal. I've done this forever. Especially since my hair is so coarse and so thick and so long, I feel like treating it first has always been my best bet. 🥰😍💖💕

[@ulovemegz]

JoAnna Johnson yessss it works wonders!!!

[@patb2582]

@Grace Awolesi so you don't deep condition after shampoo??

[@02loud]

I do the same! I'm 4C and it's middle of my back. I actually got that technique from Meg 😂 and I never looked back.

[@manoyamanoya8058]

Thats amazing! What deep conditioner do you use ?

[@MichelleRene]

I also deep condition on dry hair as well. I like to apply the conditioner on my hair as I would do a relaxer.... makes my new growth so soft and manageable

[@ulovemegz]

Michelle W. Yesss it’s a game changer!!

[@amarige25]

I always deep condition on dry hair no matter what. I don't care what state my hair and scalp is in. Sorry. I'm a lazy natural. It really works for me because it helps with detangling so much better. My hair dresser recommended this to me like 10 years ago and boy was she right. Deep conditioner is the biggest reason for my hair success. I still use the ORS replenishing packs. I love that stuff. Also, girl, after watching this video, I felt I should have hit a bell or something. This is the first type of video I watched that you made. You made your conditioning treatment and you applied it to your hair. You looked about 14 or 15 years old. It's just like old times.

[@Blessmi4eva]

Do you spray it w/water or anything else before applying the deep conditioner....to seal in the moisture?

[@kay-ty5rx]

Do you know how much your relaxed journeys have helped my NATURAL journeys? Whew 🤯💕💯

[@charleebd]

I have been deep conditioning before shampoo for up to 4 years now after seeing Fusions of Cultures do it and it saves so much time and water. My hair loves it.

[@PrettyNicca]

Meg I have to say you are my hair care guru! Whatever products and routines you use I follow exactly and my hair is looking beautiful! I bought all the oils that you mentioned in your deep conditioning video and even after going back to relaxed hair after being natural for 11 years my hair has never looked this good! I am now past bra strap length and I will continue to follow your haircare tips ❤❤❤ Oh and please drop that moisturizer routine video that you do while your hair is flat ironed!

[@charlotteclark2207]

I conditioned my hair before shampooing, and I love it. I have been trying different shampoos because they dry my hair out. But this method has my hair light, with body for days. Thanks u love Megz.

[@natrlchallenge]

You can definitely do that without damaging effects. I used to do this years ago when I was relaxed. Saved time and hair. Definitely was easier to detangle. I used to relax every 6 months. Going to try this since my big chop

[@TiannaEss]

I heard somewhere that jojoba oil has the closest molecular structure to your natural hair sebum. A staple.

[@ulovemegz]

Yesss I switch over to sealing with it and ive noticed a great difference.

[@kay-ty5rx]

It is but it doesn’t absolutely nothing for me. I love olive oil but people seems to hate it lmao

[@yaamo]

Oh wow...iHerb stuff are way cheaper than Amazon. And I'm trying to shop less at Amazon, so I'll definitely be getting my essential oils and other products from them. Thanks for the info Megz!

[@ulovemegz]

Thank yooou! Yes, I agree. It is way cheaper!

[@CubKnows]

i’m going to have to try this on my hair. i always deep condition on wet hair. excited to see any differences.

[@sweetmace8574]

Hi! Any differences?

[@CubKnows]

SweetMace hello! my hair seems to be softer and easier to manage when i wash it. also, by deep conditioning on dry hair, i take my time detangling instead of rushing in the shower, minimizing me ripping my hair out lol.

[@nickprince9119]

You should try the “L’anza Trauma Treatment restorative Conditioner” You can use it has a pre shampoo treatment masque or as a conditioner or normal hair mask with or without heat! It helps to heal hair that’s dry, damaged, or over processed, and helps to lock in color if you have color treated hair and deeply conditions the hair from inside out! It has healing actives inside of it to help heal your hair from damage! It works absolutely amazing on everyone! You can get it at a salon that carries l’anza products near you. Forgot to mention it’s lightweight and rinses clean with no residue!

[@fatimamanneh9432]

I just ordered avocado oil & jojoba day before yesterday from iherb I love how fast the items arrive I also like that you only have to spend $20 to get free shipping

[@ulovemegz]

Thats my favorite also!

[@vanessabrown1359]

Did this on a whim several years ago and my hair LOVED it!! Still do it occasionally

[@chanleemelian8346]

WOW! I had talked about this during my relaxed hair video. It does wonders and prevents breakage during the wash process.

[@charlotteclark2207]

New subbie💥. I've been looking for someone with 4c hair, does an amazing job taking care of their hair and is achieving mega growth. Heyyy Megz squad!!!!

She doesn't have 4c hair lol

[@curlynella1011]

This reminds me of when I was relaxed and I used to do the most😭 It use to take me way longer to do my hair and it's 1/3 of the density I have as a natural 🤭💀 The relaxed Meg is more iconic to be honest 💯

[@Mrs.Adrian]

Damage? I’ve always DC before shampooing. Doing it after makes my scalp feel a little itchy. Your hair is flourishing megz ❤️ (per usual)

[@therelaxedafro7539]

[@carmencitadavis3751]

I do the same thing, I deep condition my hair to before I wash it, but I deep condition my hair with eggs and mayonnaise and olive oil, leave in 15 minutes with a plastic cap and a warm towel and then I wash my hair with warm water not hot, because the hot water will cook the eggs in the hair and then I recondition it with my favorite regular conditioner, rinse out let dry and then moisturize

[@Ccgemini]

Hey where do I begin, 1st how do you like having Tex lax hair, honestly do you find your hair shedding more or less than when you had straight relaxed hair? My hair in relaxed from the root then texture then straight then texture then full ends🥺🥺🥺. I would often have my husband do trims especially during lock down when the salon was closed but Megz when I comb 😢😢😭😭the shedding. So again I ask how is your hair handling the different textures? We both have a full head of hair with thin strands is why I am asking

[@missshannonsunshine]

Girl you make me want to go back to the creamy crack 😭 I just wanna do things without having to prep my hair all the damn time. I always felt like a wet dog with my straight hair coming out of the water, but it was so easy to make it look nice again

[@kalishajnz]

I'm gonna have to order from this site, I didn't know they had so much. After your shampoo do you go in with a rinse out conditioner or no?

[@MichelleRene]

I do.... and add a leave In as well.

[@beyondbeauty8058]

Hey Megz, can you do a video about hair set backs and how you deal with them. I remember once the middle of your hair was a setback with a shorter section.. How did you overcome this? Did you cut all your hair off and start again?

[@candiblue9280]

I love iherb I got my rose water and glycerin from there. Nexxus is really good on relaxed hair I use to use it on my relaxed hair back in the day.

[@ulovemegz]

[@tywanbrown3034]

Hey Megz, I have dc on dry hair since years back when I was transitioning from relaxed to natural but it worked really well.

[@SilentPlantGirl]

Never deep conditioned before shampoo 🤔

[@curlybella6225]

Your edges have gotten thicker megz!!! What are you doing to help that?

[@ulovemegz]

thank you!!! Yes, they're improving. I would say deep conditioning and leaving my hair alone especially during this time.

[@JaMyiaTytiana]

ulovemegz when you say leave your hair alone what do you mean? I relaxed my hair when i saw your video of you going back to relaxed & i decided to buy most the products you use. My perm hair is healthy but i wear a lot of wigs . Just took one off yesterday and my edges look worse?? What to do sis😭

[@curlybella6225]

@@JaMyiaTytiana when she said leave them alone she means she don't do anything to them. When wearing wigs you need to be mindful at what position you have them on your head. And instead of gluing them down try doing clueless lacefronts or just regular wigs. That what I do and my edges are trying their best to grow back. I have this one spot on the right side that grows so slow. I have been massaging them everytime I cowash and shampoo. Plus I use pimento oil mixed with jbco on them too. Seems to be helping. But the most you can do is not do anything at all.

[@ulovemegz]

J Styles hey thank you for the message and so sorry to hear about your edges? Are you wearing your wigs for long periods of time?

[@JaMyiaTytiana]

ulovemegz kind of lol 2 weeks? & it be glued down. When i was natural i could keep a braid down for 2 months ( i hope this don’t sound dirty but i realized it grew faster when i kept it braided) but I’m starting to think it won’t be the same with my permed hair

Hi, I don't think it's a waste. It was a learning experience for when I go back natural again.

[@ohemmaAna]

Lol I’m obvi not her, but as someone who has gone back and forth, I don’t think it’s a waste. At the end of the day it’s just hair right? I feel like our community puts so much pressure on black hair and how it should be and we get scared to experiment. Granted our hair is unique and can’t go through everything but it shouldn’t stop us from changing it up, just give it that TLC like she does. And I agree with ya, both textures look great on her

[@CanadaDubaigirl]

Hey people, what does low porosity and high porosity mean? Thank you

[@soniastovall7005]

Hi victoriaGod’schild. From what I’ve read and seen on videos, porosity refers to the ability of your hair to absorb and hold moisture. If it’s low porosity, the cuticles don’t open much and it’s takes longer for moisture to get past the cuticles and into the hair shaft. Cuticles on high porosity hair are more open and absorb moisture quicker, but can also lose the moisture quickly. Some people have normal porosity hair and seem to have fewer issues. Some products may work well on high porosity hair, but not on low porosity hair. For example, many people with low porosity hair cannot use much protein (e.g., aloe vera or rice water), and I’m one of them. I have to be careful, or I’ll get protein overload and my hair will dry out and break. I hope this helps. There are tons of KZbin videos about hair porosity posted by relaxed and natural ladies. Check them out if you can, it will be well worth your time. Best wishes. 😊

[@CanadaDubaigirl]

@@soniastovall7005 thank you so much for taking time to explain to me .. you are awesome 😊
