Hello, it's me again!
Would conditioner-only hair washing be of any benefit to my hair type? My hair is fine but there's a lot of it; the roots get greasy quickly, but the ends are often dry. It's a real balancing act trying to keep my hair happy!
I've heard that using conditioner-only can be great for your hair, providing that its silicone free. This seems to be the case for those with curly and/or coarse hair, but maybe not so much for those with fine hair like mine. However, I've also read that it can be really good. The hair is being conditioned and cleaned, and with time, will start to produce less sebum because it's being adequately conditioned.
That is a terrible explanation, I do apologise, but it's what I gleaned from the various sources of information available out there. And there's A LOT.
I think I will try this anyway, because I'm intrigued, but I wondered if anyone could give me any advice/ feedback?
Many thanks :)
UPDATE: I've tried this a few times now, and I have to say, I'm REALLY impressed with it! The day I tried it for the first time, my hair was properly greasy and in need of a clean. Perfect to trial this, I thought. If it didn't do much good, I was prepared to just spray in some dry shampoo and move on to the next thing next time round. But I was pleasantly surprised. My hair afterwards was clean... fluffy, and perfectly lovely! No oily mess! I was chuffed. When I saw my friend that day, I proudly announced what I'd used to clean my hair that morning.
Granted, it didn't last all that long. It was 'greasy' (or becoming so) by the following day, but tbh, this is no different to when I used shampoo, so I'm okay with this. And I'm hoping with time I will be able to go longer between washes? Let's see, shall we!
