Question:
I'm growing out my damaged hair, and I comb it in the shower once with a rinsing conditioner, and then again with a combing conditioner. Is this okay?
Answer:
I'd say you don't want to ever comb your hair with a rinsing conditioner unless it has some good slippery ingredients in it (such as glycerin or silicones). There are a few rinsing conditioners that make great combing conditioners, but for the majority of them, they have next to no smoothing/ slippery ingredients in them. This means there will be little lubrication when you comb your hair, causing friction and tugging (which means stretching your hair) as you comb, increasing the wear and tear and damage on already rough, damaged hair.
Instead, it would be best to take the time you are now spending double-combing (and doubling the wear and tear on your hair), and use it to comb your hair once, more gently, with a good combing conditioner, which is nicely slippery. And then taking time to define your hair by either running your fingers through it in sections as you comb each section, or curl by curl as I do.
