Why to condition: Before/After

Here are a few before and after pictures after only a wash and condition- no perming, touch ups, or anything else. This is why you shouldn't jut cut the frizz out like a cancer right away.

Grey Willow

 

Pretty basic. Snarly, flyaway tail, matted mane, etc.

 Now, smooth and flat, with no boil perm or anything. Just nice.

 Rowdy Royal

 It's a bit hard to understand just looking at a picture, but his tail was bad. See the really thick part at the back? It was in two clumps that were full of some sort of gunk. I was worried it was melted together.

 He needed a very, very good washing, and after that, a little conditioner settled his friz right down.

 Sweet Silver

Very snarly and obviously flying away. Tangles in the tail, but no hard frizz.

I was shocked to see it naturally lay flat after that. It still pops up a bit and I'll probably boil perm it, but look at the difference.

 His mane's just doing... this thing. Obviously the paint's the worst problem and the tail's fine, but that mane...

Still a little damp, I was working on him when I started this and took his picture just before posting. laying flat and normal, other than a curve to his forelock.

I hope this has been helpful to you, I'm going to post my haul including these guys soon.
