hair tip #2

Here's another one for you:

"As for conditioner, there's a lot of confusion out there as to how often you need to use it.  A lot of people say that you don't need to condition nearly as often as you shampoo.  That's just plain wrong.  I can only assume that this false notion is a result of the deeper, once-a-week conditioning treatments that are now on the market.  If you're not using one of the weekly treatments, you should condition your hair more often than you shampoo because it's conditioner that gives you texture, moisture, and shine, all vital to lovely, luscious hair.  Rinse your hair with water and then, while still in the shower or bath, apply and rinse out your conditioning product.  Conditioner not only makes your hair look and feel softer and smoother, it also calms your hair down, making it easier to shape and style.  For that reason it's beneficial to condition more often than you shampoo--it can be done every day if you if you have the time and inclination."  Great Hair by Nick Arrojo
