Conditioner BEFORE you shampoo

I read this & had to try it. I have very long & fine hair. I read this & tried it that very night. I do not use a blow dryer or curling iron (haven't used one of these in over ten years.) so I wash my hair the night before. It takes a long time for it to dry naturally. Anyway. When I brush my hair in the morning I have a little lift in it. It is nice that it is not flat. So it is nice to see a little bounce. I am going to continue doing this. Thanks Prevention.com.

Here is what it said:

The lesson: Use conditioner before shampoo on occasion. “While researching an experimental styling material, we discovered that none of our shampoos removed it from hair very well. Some materials from products adhere very tightly to follicles and can build up over time. One day, someone in the lab accidentally used conditioner to wash; she corrected it then by washing with shampoo—and to our surprise, the hair ended up much cleaner. Why does it work? The built-up material gets trapped in the conditioner, then you wash away both with shampoo.”

Have hotter sex?

I read this could not believe it. I can't believe they are tell me that my husband or that any man could possibly be more turned on my PUMPKIN PIE than perfume? Can you believe it?

The lesson: Smelling popcorn can boost your sex life. “Our studies found that men respond to just about any scent with increased penile blood flow. Skip the pricey perfume—it upped blood flow by only 3%. The smell of cheese pizza increased it by 5%; buttered popcorn, by 9%; and the combined scent of lavender and pumpkin pie, a whopping 40%.
