Apparently that means no shampoo, only conditioner...? On the rare occasion that I use conditioner, it goes in after the shampoo is out and stays in for however long it takes me to soap the rest of my body.

For curly hair types, shampoo shouldn't really be used. Conditioner is used to "wash" the scalp and hair (thus, "co-wash"), rinse it out, and then condition again, leaving it in while you wash the rest of you with soap, and then rinse it all off at the end.

Why is curliness relevant to shampooing?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

shampoo strips natural oils which makes hair thick or something, i really have no idea i just like my curls :3
