Is it okay to but hair conditioner in our hair without washing it?

Question

Does it damage the hair in anyway? {for African American hair}
Can you use conditioner in place of oil sheen or petroleum jelly, and other oils?

Answer 1

It is absolutely fine to use conditioner on days you don't shampoo. It is not neccessary to wash your hair every day. Especially if your hair is extremely dry or course, like African American hair. Conditioner won't harm a thing...seriously! Shampoo is to cleanse your scalp, conditioner is to soften and protect your ends. I am a hair stylist. 9 years. Conditioner is perfectly fine, but do cleanse every 2-3 days.

Answer 2

yes that's a great idea, u should still take showers regularly, and the conditioner won't dry out ur hair.. also u should try doing hot oil treatments on ur hair, like once a week.. u will need to use olive oil and heat it up in a bowl, then apply it to hair for like an hour or longer, and use a shower cap to cover up ur hair so it helps keep the heat in. I've tried this and it makes my hair fell really soft and silky afterwords, go on youtube and search hot oil treatment, or olive oil treatment, and there's a lot of videos there to show u what to do... trust me, you'll notice the difference in ur hair right away, it really works, and also u should get a shampoo and conditioner that's made especially for dry hair. Good luck!! =)

Conditioner is one thing
oils are another thing.
African Americans hair is works the same as any other hair, the only difference is MOST African Americans that you run into have chemically straightened hair!

Answer 4

No. Please don't try that with the normal "rinse-after-applying". According to a magazine I read some time ago, it can cause buildup which could possibly lead to dandruff, itching, or oiliness. It might also make your hair seem limp and heavy because the conditioner might end up weighing your hair down.

However, there are some leave-on conditioners which can give hair look shinier, minus the heavy feel of the first kind (of conditioner). Of course, the formulation of the leave-on type is different from the traditional "rinse-after-applying" type.

1st of all hair is hair doesn't matter ethnic background. it is still made up of the same properties. products can be left in the hair that is why they make them. African American hair has a tendency to be drier and more unmanageable so you would benefit the most from this it is called conditioner not damager

Answer 6

I would say yes but put the leave in conditioner in your? hair. Try syling products like Beyond the Zone leave in conditioner. It works great. I am pretty sure THIS one might do good. There are others to. But if you use regular wash out conditioner it will make your? hair look nasty.

Answer 7

I used to use hair conditioner to wash my hair all the time because it is so thick and conditioner would straighten it out.
I would think conditioner is alright to use but your hair will get dirty quicker without using a shampoo to wash it and just using conditioner...I have done it many times but not anymore.

Answer 8

I believe that unless it says that is it a leave-in conditioner then you should wash it out. The conditioner is to condition by adding what the shampoo took out. You can leave it in longer. I would suggest finding a leave-in conditioner.

Answer 9

Davey looks white to me. Conditioner will weigh the hair down and make it appear greasy.
No.
