There was no further information. There was just the simple "Condition first."
To Google I went. Sure enough, there were a number of posts about reverse hair washing. It is actually a thing. The basic steps are pretty simple: put on your conditioner, leave it on your typical amount of time, add your shampoo, lather, and rinse. Easy.
So, I tried it. And I like it!
I have to admit that it feels odd to all of sudden change my usual routine. Once I got past the weirdness of it all, it really was no big deal.
My hair is definitely on the thin side, but with this whole reverse washing thing, I actually have body when I'm done. It's still soft and manageable. I have less frizz. I've even been asked several times if I got my hair cut since I started reverse washing. (Um, nope. My last cut was at the end of October.)
Go figure! All these years on Earth, and I didn't even know how to wash my hair! :)

Hmm interesting. I guess I've been doing it wrong. I'll have to try this. :)
I never thought to do this. So do you leave in the conditioner when you add the shampoo, or do you wash out the conditioner and then shampoo? Off to Google.
I never heard of that! I have super wavy easily frizzy hair. Maybe I will try that.
You serious?
I have never heard of it.
I have straight, silky hair, and not tough to detangle. Conditioning for me is more about shine, than manageability.
Will this work for me?
Also, I tend to oil my hair pre-wash. So will this not interfere with cleaning the scalp?
