How much conditioner do you leave in?[/b]

A little dab’ll do ya when I feel like it.

How does this help your hair? (ie gives more curl, loosens curl, shine, softens)[/b]

Keeps it moisturized, eliminates gel crunch.

[b]What is your application process for the conditioner?(ie quick rinse? rinse
entirely, then reapply? towl dry first, then apply?)[/b]

Sometimes it’s just a less thorough rinse, sometimes it’s a full rinse then scrunch-smooth a tiny dab back into sopping wet hair, focusing on the ends.

If you don’t leave it in, or leave in less, why?

I never could leave any in when I was full CG, my hair just didn’t need that much moisture, and it added to my overconditioning problem. Now that I’m ‘pooing I’m experimenting with it to keep the moisture levels right. I can only leave in (or even use) a condish that is not too rich with oils and the like. I just don’t need that much moisture, my hair isn’t all that dry.

ETA because Pixie’s response made me think of it: The other reason I’ve never really been into leave-ins, or needed them is because I really dig creams over gels, generally. If I’m using primarily a gel, it has to be with some leave-in. Much less or no leave in if I’m primarily styling with a moisturizing cream.

[b]Hair type and length[/b]: 3B and shoulder blade length (BSL my goal)

[b]What kind of conditioner do you use[/b]: One Condition although I just received a sample of Elucence and am verrrrrry intrigued.

[b]How much conditioner do you leave in?[/b] I’d say most…80%.

[b]How does this help your hair?[/b] [b](ie gives more curl, loosens curl, shine, softens)[/b] I think it helps with clumping and somehow gives more hold longer throughout the day than products alone.

[b]What is your application process for the conditioner?(ie quick rinse? rinse
entirely, then reapply? towl dry first, then apply?) [/b]Until recently, I’ve been rinsing all and putting some back in but now I just give a quick rinse and leave most in.

I used to feel leaving in cond. felt too producty but I think I used too much. Now I get nervous that I’ll rinse too much out!

[b]Hair type and length:[/b] 3A, just past my shoulders when dry. Layered. Fine strands but lots of them, so pretty thick hair.

[b]How much conditioner do you leave in?[/b] 1½-2 pea sized puddle of Elucence or about 1-2 quarter sized puddles of Elixir

[b]How does this help your hair? (ie gives more curl, loosens curl, shine, softens)[/b] Shine, definition, softness, keeping it moisturized/healthy, sunblock

[b]What is your application process for the conditioner?(ie quick rinse? rinse
entirely, then reapply? towl dry first, then apply?)[/b] Conditione with Giovanni or Elucence, rinse it all out and put Elixir or Elucence from near scalp to ends. I tend to use Elixir more often as a leave in than Elucence. Eluc. ways my hair down more, makes my scalp get oilier and give less lift on top. I like to use Elucence as a leave in the days I wear a pony tail, “rest” my hair from products and pamper it some.

[b]If you don’t leave it in, or leave in less, why?[/b] I have to make sure not to leave in too much when this gives me heavy loking hair and less volume and curl.

Hair type and length: 3a/2c, just below BSL

What kind of conditioner do you use? Elucence mainly

How much conditioner do you leave in? quarter size amount

How does this help your hair? softens, helps with dry hair & frizzies

What is your application process for the conditioner? I rinse out all my conditioner first, cause if I don’t my scalp feels gunky. Then I distribute the leave-in

If you don’t leave it in, or leave in less, why? n/a

[quote=itsjustmeghan]i’m curious to know a few things about your leavein habits!

Hair type and length: [color=violet]3B – a little past my chin[/color]

What kind of conditioner do you use? [color=violet]Switch off from Aveda Scalp Benefits and Elucence…my leave-in is Too Shea[/color]

How much conditioner do you leave in? [color=violet]about a teaspoon now that my hair is short, but i also give a very quick rinse just to move it through the hair, not to get it out[/color]

How does this help your hair? (ie gives more curl, loosens curl, shine, softens) [color=violet]all of the above…i also think that it helps give hold to the gel that I use, helps way down the curls, helps the curls feel soft and healthy[/color]

What is your application process for the conditioner?(ie quick rinse? rinse
entirely, then reapply? towl dry first, then apply?) [color=violet]I use the Aveda or Elucence to rub into my scalp, then rinse, then i rake it through my curls, then rinse…then apply the [buylink=http://www.curlmart.com/Jessicurl-Too-Shea-Extra-Moisturizing-Conditioner-p-105.html?utm_source=naturallycurly.com&utm_medium=text-link&utm_content=curltalk-post-text&utm_campaign=jessicurl-too-shea-extra-moisturizing-conditioner]Too Shea[/buylink] with a quick rinse as my leave-in[/color]

If you don’t leave it in, or leave in less, why? [color=violet]If I leave in too much, it gets gunky, if I don’t leave in at all, it gets too dry and brittle[/color]

thanks in advance!!! :wink:[/quote][color=violet][/color][color=violet][/color][color=violet][/color][color=violet][/color][color=violet][/color]

i leave in almost all of my regular condish in the shower. if for some reason i was adding it in after shower, i would scrunch – raking at all after my final rinse breaks up my clumps.

[quote=Kurlee]I both rake and scrunch, but mostly scrunch so that got my vote.[/quote]

Ditto! And my definite HG is Sebastian Potion 9! The best stuff! Also Redken Antisnap is great
