MickinMD Posted February 5, 2020 Share #1 Posted February 5, 2020 How long do you let the conditioner work on your hair. applying it after shampooing in the shower? Super Bowl Party, Sunday. Sister-in-law: Mickey, are you doing something different with your hair? Me: Yeah, I washed it. SIL: It looks so good: silky and silvery and shiny. Me: When I shower, I shampoo then put conditioner in my hair and then begin washing the rest of me with soap while the conditioner goes to work. But the soap was only a 1/8" thick and 1" wide piece - the last of a bar of Dial soap, so it took me longer to wash. I guess that gave the conditioner plenty of time to go to work. Me now: I guess I should let the conditioner (cheap Walmart store brand) work longer so it just doesn't feel smooth and silky in my hands, but looks it as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smudge Posted February 5, 2020 Share #2 Posted February 5, 2020 Yup, that's what I do. I hate when I forget to rinse it out though. Gotta turn the water back on and stick my head under the faucet. Super Silver shampoo and same conditioner. From hair salon at Walmart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groupw Posted February 5, 2020 Share #5 Posted February 5, 2020 Pretty much what I do. I use a basic cleansing shampoo, but I use a tea tree oil conditioner recommended by the lady who cuts my hair to combat dry scalp. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randomguy Posted February 5, 2020 Share #8 Posted February 5, 2020 Minimum three minutes with conditioner in hair or it just doesn’t work. Fast shower people do yet something else wrong. Something wrong with people that rush a shower for no reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtyhip Posted February 5, 2020 Share #11 Posted February 5, 2020 I don't know how long I leave it on. Probably not long enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx Posted February 5, 2020 Share #12 Posted February 5, 2020 Till it's time to take it out. That fulfils the somebody had to say it requirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerrySTL Posted February 5, 2020 Share #13 Posted February 5, 2020 Good question. Until recently I have been using a shampoo/conditioner like @Chris... alludes to. My hair, what little is left, was looking frizzy. I switched to a conditioner and it looks better. I've only been leaving it on for a few seconds though. I'm going to leave it on longer and see how that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to use the 2 in 1, but the same lady who recommended the conditioner said to not use shampoo everyday as that is hard on the hair and scalp.

Razors Edge Posted February 5, 2020 Share #15 Posted February 5, 2020 I buy the biggest bottle of name brand shampoo I can from Costco and get about six months out of it. I've never figured out conditioner despite doing a leave in for several minutes approach in the past. I'm fine not using it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, except not from Costco, and keep it in reserve for when my motel samples run out. I never pick up the conditioners at motels. I use to travel more than I do now.

Kirby Posted February 5, 2020 Share #18 Posted February 5, 2020 I leave it in for at least 5 minutes, but if it's leave in conditioner, then I just leave it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually rinse it out after about a minute after washing my face, ears, and neck, then work on the rest of me. I'm going to start washing feet to head and then rinsing it out.

Zephyr Posted February 5, 2020 Share #20 Posted February 5, 2020 Conditioner? I thought that was a girl thing. I honestly had no idea guys used conditioner. I suppose you use a face cloth or shower scrunchie too? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
