I’ve been reverse washing my hair (conditioning and then shampooing for those not in the know) for over a year now but I’ve never really spoken about it here before. There was a bit of a reverse washing fad this year, and everyone seemed to be talking about it, so I decided to wait for the storm to pass before adding my two cents.My hair is pretty thick and naturally curly, and it can be quite dry, so I like to smother it in heavy conditioners to really add back in the moisture. However, these products tend to leave a residue in my hair, which leaves it feeling slippy and hard to work with, and never quite clean. By applying conditioner first and letting it sit for 5 minutes before rinsing and shampooing, I get the full benefits of the conditioner, but the shampoo cleans the remainder out. My hair feels healthy and clean. It also helps me reap the full benefits of using a clarifying shampoo, without ruining all the efforts with conditioner.I’m also incredibly lazy, and I like to go as long as possible between washes (hair not body!), and by using the shampoo last, I actually find I get an extra day or two before my hair starts to get a little greasy, which I’m all for. My hair feels healthier because I’m washing and heat styling it less.Speaking of styling, because all remnants of conditioner are removed, my hair holds a curl better, because it’s not as slippy with product, which is only a good thing!I do have to use a detangling spray when I get out of the shower, but I’m okay with that!It really does work wonders for my hair, I wouldn’t go back!Have you tried reverse washing?
