The best way to skip those 10 minutes in the shower with the conditioner on, is to oil your hair well the night before (find out the correct way to oil your hair with tips from Javed Habib). Oil your hair with your regular hair oil (the best for deep conditioning is coconut oil, sesame oil and olive oil). Apply it throughly on your scalp and then on the hair shaft. To add to the moisturising effect of the oil, you could wrap up your hair in a hot towel for a few minutes. If you don’t have the time for that, cover your hair with a shower cap.
Wash your hair the next morning with your regular shampoo. Remember not to over shampoo your hair and pat dry your hair. To add shine and bounce to your hair, try giving your hair a final rinse with apple cider vinegar. Not only does it add shine it also helps to beat dandruff.
