There's been a debate over whether it's advisable to dc before or after shampoo. Well, JC of www.thenaturalhavenbloom.com has written a beautiful piece about this. If am not mistaken, she wrote a similar article years ago and it sparked the debate.

    I really just started deep conditioning on a regular basis recently. I tend to prepoo when I have allotted my time well, wash, condition and then deep condition. I can't tell if my hair loves it yet but it's softer and my new growth hasn't gotten out of hand.

      Wow!Your method also seems to be a bit different and the deep conditioner doesn't get washed out. Now, don't be surprised when I try your method.

    After I shampoo for a few reasons: I prepoo with oils, water is the ultimate moisturizer so I like my hair to be slightly damp and sometimes I use sulfate shampoos and although I don't use the extremely drying kind, I would think my hair would suffer if I didn't DC afterwards.

      I think that's the best way to save time since using shampoo after the dc means using a conditioner to replenish the moisture.

    I usually shampoo and then deep condition. On days that I co-wash, I deep condition first, just out of convenience

Placenta In Your Hair

By
Placenta or the popular brand, Placentyne leave in treatment has been with us for ages!  Keratin, which hair is made of, is a strong protein that can break down with sun exposure, wind, pollutants, daily maintenance, manipulation, heat tools, and chemical treatments like permanent color. This is where using protein treatments come in to help temporarily repair the hair strands. Protein treatments are used to add strength and resiliency to damaged hair by attaching hydrolyzed proteins directly to the hair follicle and hardening the cuticle layer. If there are holes in the hair cuticle, it will fill those holes or gaps while also placing a barrier around the hair shaft to lessen further damage. Most protein treatments are conditioning treatments.

How To choose The Ordinary Vitamin C Serum

By
If you missed the post on the types of vitamin C serums carried by The Ordinary, then, just go through it and come back to this. Paula's Choice and The Ordinary seem to have a lot in common when it comes to formulations and I love that! Let's start with the highest form which is the L-ascorbic acid. This is found in the The Ordinary Vitamin C silicone and vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2%.   Much like our Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2% formula, this product also offers a suspension but in light silicones for a smooth, non-gritty skin finish. Despite the very light forms of silicones used, silicones do impair dermal exposure to Vitamin C slightly but the additional (30%) concentration of Vitamin C helps compensate for this slight inefficiency. A very strong tingling but non-irritating sensation is expected during the first 1-2 weeks of use until the skin's tolerance to such high exposure is elevated. If desired, this formula can be diluted in a cream base pe...
