Over conditioning
Jun 28th, 2007 at 7:56pm
 
I have seen that one can over condition their hair.  I have noticed, at my short 21 inches, that now that I am not using commercial products (just recipes from here)...I do not ever seem to over condition...even if I might not be improving things.  Can anyone tell me...using coconut milk, avacado, the oils like jojoba, etc from this site...can one over condition?

Over conditioning usually refers to how the hair looks/feels when there is either product buildup or the interaction between two (or more) products give undesirable results.

Situations that I am aware of for over conditioning include the following:
1.  Conditioners with -cones build up on the hair.  The hair will have either a greasy, heavy appearance or will be "crunchy" with stiff ends.  A clarifying shampoo followed by a non-cone conditioner will usually resolve this.

2.  Conditioning with protein conditioners.  If several different protien conditioners are used, these can interact and cause "crunchy" ends.  Clarifying will usually resolve this.

3.  Using -cone products and some oils will also cause those "crunchy" ends and a good clarifying will also resolve this.

Generally speaking, if you use heavy conditioners, a vinegar rinse used frequently, can help minimize product buildup and reduce the need for a harsh clarifying shampoo.

Thanx BB for your input.  So if I understand correctly, if I am doing ACV rinses and using the natural recipes on this site, it is like I will not over condition...even if I am being redundant because my hair is already conditioned as much as it can be?

Yep - I think you are probably in pretty good shape.  But, at the first sign of crunchy ends, take the time to clarify.
