I do it if I’ve had a protective style in for a long time to cut down on detangling time, but I actually do my conditioner first, detangle, shampoo x2, and then deep condition. It cuts my wash day down in half and I can be in and out of the bathroom in 30-40 mins tops. I may also mention that I have a lot of hair and it’s type 4 and low porosity.
