  1. 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.

    1. 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.

  2. 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.

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

  3. I didn't know any of this. I usually just go with the flow and shampoo then condition. This is all news to me...

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

How I make forever Clair Skin care products work for me

I've heard ladies complain about the forever Claire Skin care products  not working for them. Well, I nearly became one until I tweaked how I use it and since then, it's been a jolly good ride. I started using the Forever Claire products in July 2013 or so. What I've been doing is to using a cleanser first before applying any of the products. Well, I discovered the reason why the product didn't seem to be working well on its own. When using the cleanser, I'll dab a bit of cotton in it to clean my face. Apparently, it wasn't the cleanser that was doing the work, it was the cotton. The cotton was getting rid of dead cells by acting as an "exfoliating" material. It was cleaning the skin surface. One evening, I skipped the cleansing and decided to follow Hubby's method of cleaning his face. I used my sponge to gently rub the FC product on the face. This face scrubbing technique left my skin feeling soft and smooth just like when I use the cotton and cl...

The 60 Seconds Skin Care Rule

The 60 seconds rule regarding washing your face is a great technique that has been used by a lot of skin care addicts.  When washing your face, the one trick that can make a lot of difference in your skin is washing for 60 seconds! Once you apply your facial wash/cleanser/soap, you massage or sweep it around your face for 60 seconds. This allows the cleanser to penetrate the pores and clear the dirt off your skin. All the make up  can also be easily absorbed by your cleansing oil too. I began doing this technique a few weeks ago and it's definitely helped improve the feel of my skin after cleansing.  (check shop.ghanaianemprezz.com for all skin care products)
