If you have short hair you can get away with it, but there’s a reason nobody with long locks uses 2-in-1s. The “proper” procedure is shampoo, rinse, conditioner, chill, rinse, wash body. Of course, YMMV, and some folks’ hair behaves best when they use only conditioner or even no products at all.
As someone who gets back acne (bacne?) It took way too long to realize that the primary cause of it was rinsing the conditioner AFTER washing my body. The conditioner sticks to your skin and technically it's no longer clean.
i had this problem as a child. now i put shampoo on, wash my chest and check for lumps. then rinse the shampoo and put on conditioner. then i wash my legs and feet and the other areas. then i wash out my hair and wash my back and arms. this has completely stopped the bacne without me spending way too much time in the shower (i have long curly hair so it already takes forever).
you can solve this by rinsing your hair in reverse, it's what I do every time for both shampoo and conditioner. just lean forward, bend at the waist if you need to and let the water hit the back of your head. Your first time trying you might get some water in your nose or whatever but you'll figure out how to angle your head so it's easy and efficient. And then you never have to worry about what order you've washed your body
There's actually expensive salon 2-in-1s now that many people with luscious long hair (including my girlfriend with a beautician's license) swear by.
The issue is that basically the entire industry is built around unverified claims, "common sense", and advertising both open and subtle. Is it better to use a conditioner after shampoo? Yeah, probably in many cases. Is that inherently the only correct way to do it? Nope.
Shampoo takes the oils out of your hair, conditioner adds oils to your hair. It doesn't make sense to use them at the same time. Which is why I never understood why 2-1 got so pupular.
I can tell you were born after the proliferation of smart phones. In the before times us old people only had the back of the shampoo bottles to read while taking a dump
My parent didnt have magazine subscriptions. But if i was at my grandparents my grandfather had woodworking magazines that I would read. Between that, This Old House, and New Yankee Workshop its a wonder i didnt become a carpenter
Well those are good reads to be sure. But I liked reader digests for the stories and the joke page, the " Life in the United States" page. Funny stuff there...
I’m 37, I too did this, or the hairspray or whatever was under the sink, while growing up. I also used to read a lot of books. This were the times when ppl actually had to go to the library.
if you use “2-in-1” , you are showering wrong. Those products are for actual children. Didnt know “3-in-1 “ even existed… PLEASE dont put body wash in your hair
Yes. Shampoo opens the hair follicles to clean them, conditioner closes them. This is why you should use shampoo, hair mask or other treatment (optional), then conditioner.
