I have a really oily scalp. Is it alright to condition hair first and then shampoo hair?

A dermatologist had given me this advice when I was complaining about my oil-oozing scalp. But when I told my hairdresser this she told me to never do this. She said shampoo opens the hair cutiles (or scalp pores-can't remember which of the two) while conditionor closes the same. So if you condition before shampooing, the dirt etc gets trapped in the hair.





Now, I am confused about who to believe. The dermatologists should know more but what the hairdresser said also makes sense. My hair is getting really greasy these days so I desperately need a solution.I have a really oily scalp. Is it alright to condition hair first and then shampoo hair?
Wash the hair first with a good shampoo for oily hair. Then condition only the ends or the bottom 1/2 of the hair.I have a really oily scalp. Is it alright to condition hair first and then shampoo hair?
Many people have the misconception that daily conditioning (protection) of their hair will cause flatness or added weight. This challenge is easily resolved by, first, knowing how to physically condition the hair and, second, by understanding the different intended uses of the main 3 types of conditioners, i.e. - rinses, daily and deep conditioners.





Daily conditioning (protecting) any type of hair, from thin %26amp; fine to thick %26amp; frizzy, is basically the same. It is simply the reverse concept of shampooing hair as discussed above - considering that throughout the course of the day the first 3 inches of hair closest to the scalp will receive an adequate supply of naturally-occurring hair oil (sebum). Therefore, if you condition this area with a crçŒĞme rinse or daily conditioner it can become over-conditioned, heavy %26amp; less manageable. The solution is to apply your conditioner from the mid-shaft (3 inches from scalp) of the hair to the ends. Then using a wide-toothed comb and holding onto the ends of your hair, gently comb the conditioner from mid-shaft to ends for even distribution, detangling and sealing split ends. By the time you finish doing this, the conditioner will have remained within your hair for the appropriate 3 to 5 minutes to be effective in temporarily repairing any damaged or frizzy areas.





The concept for applying deep conditioners is the same as above, however, the time the conditioner is left within the hair must be extended up to 20 minutes to allow penetration into the inner (cortical) layer of the hairshaft - only 10 minutes if your wrap your hair in a moist, hot towel. Deep conditioning should be done sparingly - once per week for most hair types. Deep conditioning the hair more than this is could cause the opposite intended effect. If you over-use a protein-based deep conditioner to strengthen and add body, it could cause the hair to become dry and brittle. If you over-use a moisturizing or oil-based deep conditioner, it could cause your hair to become limp and lifeless.
If you condition then shampoo you will also get your hair tangled really really easy.





Try using a small amount on conditioner (after shampoo) and only use it on the bottom half of your hair from your ears down. Even if you do this every second or third wash.





Change conditioners- avoid ones that go on about mositurising, go for volume boosting ones.

Be a bit careful with shampoos for oily skin. it can have opposite effect! if your scalp gets oily only after 2-3 hours after washing it, then yeah, you should go for the shampoo for oily skin. But if your hair is alrite till the next day, using shampoo for oily skin will only make it more oily. Dats wot my dermatologist told me..


and use the conditioner on hair, not the scalp.
NOOOOO!


do not condition your hair then wash thats a waste of time!!!


if you have a really oily scalp then wash your hair with shampoo meant for oily hair and only apply conditioner to your middle and ends[nowhere near your scalp].and once every two weeks put conditioner through the whole thing and let it sit there for two minutes andd rinse.
