It seems the general consensus is that doing a good deep conditioning to the system shortens its life span by loosening the knots and causing shedding but the hair just feels so much better after. I'm wondering if anyone does a good conditioning while trying hard not to hit the knots? I'm thinking doing a little at a time and just using two fingers to rub the conditioner into the hair while doing my best to avoid the base and knots. Thoughts?
