Shampoo dilemma

[Sacotool]

I've been wondering about my shampoo habits as of late. The shampoo that I use, like most do, says "Lather in Hair, Wash, Rinse, Repeat." Am I doing my hair a disservice by not repeating the shampoo process? Or is this just a scheme by the shampoo companies to make you run out faster?

The other point that I was pondering is whether or not conditioner is really necessary. I've been faithfully conditioning my hair every time for the last 10 years or so, is this really necessary?

I don't always repeat and I never condition....I'm a rebel

I usually rinse and repeat. I also always use conditioner. If I don't my hair feels yucky.

Unless your hair is really dirty, don't use it twice, because it can dry your hair out too much. But conditioner is good.

"Shampoo is better! I make the hair clean!"
"Conditioner is better! I make the hair silky and smooth!"

I agree about conditioner making your hair feel nice. I think I'll stop repeating the shampoo and keep on conditioning.


(Okay, now I feel kind of feminine, worrying about my hair))

I'm still trying to figure out how many times to "repeat". I got up to 49 times before my arms got sore and my hair fell out for a few weeks.

Thermasilk shampoo and cond for me. It makes my hair feel so... VIBRANT!

It's a real problem when you get into the loop without some form of exit statement....

Damn.....too much programming....

I never condition and only repeat when I am really dirty.

My hair is "self-lubricating". That's the same as conditioning -- right?

This is a rather...feminine subject but my take is this: get the right shampoo then forget about the rinse/lather/repeat game. My poo is $11 for a medium-sized bottle but I'm addicted to it because it works amd smells so goot.

LOL!!!

Shampoo once, and well. Unless your hair is quite dirty, do not repeat. It wears down your hair. Always condition.

And yes, Thermasilk owns

I use &quot;Bed Head&quot; - Some salon shampoo that works really well and smells like mangos

I have really bad hair...I'm currently using the Neutragena T-Gel, what is the best conditioner that won't cause my damaged hair to fall out?
