Question:
So do you get any conditioner on your scalp when you comb your hair and leave it in?
Answer:
You ask a great question about whether I get conditioner on my scalp. I usually put my conditioner in my hair about an inch or two below my scalp (unless my hair is extra tangled at my scalp for some reason, then I put it where it's needed). A bit usually ends up getting on my scalp by the time I'm done combing (it works it's way up as I comb), but it's often very light.
And since I'm sure to wash it off the next time I do my hair, it doesn't build up on my scalp. My research into the literature shows that what's most dangerous is slathering on thick oils like lanolin or petroleum onto the scalp, and then not washing them off. It's that constant "smothering" of your scalp that seems to be what can damage follicles.
