#Microblog Monday...Oops, Tuesday

While watching television a few weeks ago, the host of one of those celebrity gossip shows was interviewing a number of hair and make-up artists. At the close of the show, the host asked the beauty experts to give their favorite tips. One tip caught my attention, even though it was given as an almost afterthought. "Condition first," the guy said.

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?
