I agree. I start with the ends, and work my way upwards. At the very end, I lightly run my hands on the outside part of the roots (the ones that are always getting exposed to sun). By this point, there is no visible product, but you can almost feel it on your hands.
I never wash my ends with shampoo. I didn't even realize people did that... guess I picked up a good tip when I was a kid ^_^. It's true, though, that you don't need to rub them. Except for product buildup from things like fake dye in hair, there should be no reason that your hair is so dirty that you have to wash them harshly. Your roots are the things that are getting oily, not the rest.

I'll have to try this and see what happens. So shampooing the tips of the hair is not a good idea? 
; I have extremely long hair and take forever cuz of this
Thanks for the tips everyone!

i don't really think this is a new tip...we learned this in beauty school. We never put shampoo on dry hair, because I was told that the hair had to be wet so that the product could penetrate. perhaps i was wrong
but we were definetly taught that you only shampoo your scalp, and then let the suds run thru...
as for conditioner, I don't believe that you shouldn't condition your roots. i think it depends on your hair type. If you have thick coarse frizzy dry hair, you need conditioner all over. as far as build-up is concerned, you should be using a clarifying conditioner occasionally anyways. if you have fine, thin hair, then you definetly should condition your roots because they don't need it, and it would weigh your hair down, causing it to look flat and volume-less

^^^It's new on the consumer side, which is the target audience of the We Love Beauty website. Professionals are privy to alot of tips like this whereas the average person isn't. Just as with makeup, there are a lot of tips MA learn in school or on the job that the average person doesn't know.

The hair washing suggestion or the suggestion about conditioning the hair? I am surprised the washing technique would make your hair dry.

The shampoo technique. I did what the guy said and just let it rinse out to the rest of my hair. I'm going back to wetting first.

I read somewhere that you have to shampoo your hair first if you want to rinse out the oil (massage oil), then wet it then conditioner ... lol

i'm sorry, i hope i didn't come off rude. i didn't mean anything by my comment i just am so used to washing my hair this way, that I guess it didn't cross my mind. I used to pile my hair on top of my head and wash it like that, and it would get sooooo knotty.
as for the conditioner....well i have dry hair period. dry hair thats prone to breakage, and although my roots are new and should be undamaged, I color my hair, and I use a relaxer on some of my roots (sounds weird. but only some of my roots need it) and i think since I do a lot of chemical processing on my hair, i need to baby it. like i said, ALL of my hair is dry, and if i skip my roots when conditioning (i have before) its really dry and rough and tangled. i haven't seen any problems in conditioning my roots, and i clarify like 2 times a month so buildup shouldnt be a problem

I've always heard that your scalp is just like your face; both produce oil, obviously. If you don't put moisturizer on your face it over-produces the oils on your face because you've stripped it by washing it...same thing with your scalp. You're stripping the oils by washing it with shampoo, but by adding a minute amount of conditioner to the scalp and then rinsing it out, you're replacing the moisture (again, just like moisturizer for your face). I've always had super oily hair, and as soon as someone suggested this to me I discovered I could go an extra day or two without needing to wash my hair. It's the "curly girl" method...check it out. It's a book for women (and men, I suppose) who have curls or wavy hair.

I also don't put conditioner on my scalp. I apply the conditioner at the middle of my hair and work my way to the roots, then comb through at the ends. I wash my hair every 2nd day so I don't want the conditioner to grease up the roots. I pretty much wash and condition my hair as it is done when I go to the hairdresser.
