You get in the shower. You lather up your body, making sure to clean your armpits, butt crack, and naughty bits. Then you shampoo. Then you condition.
That's the way it's always been, and always supposed to be, right?
But apparently, that's wrong. Totally wrong. And the women from Mumsnet are here to take us to the hair-washing promised land.

Because conditioning your hair before shampooing is apparently the way to go.
A user on the Mumsnet group, who goes by the gross username, MOIST, shared her amazing discovery.
Other users quickly agreed that MOIST's (wow, that sounds bad) method worked wonders for them too.
But there are some hair experts who say that this very hair-washing technique goes against science.
Shampoo is designed to wash not only your hair but also your scalp; it gets rid of dirt and old skin cells. If you think of your hair in the same way as your skin, you'd never moisturise your face and then wash it with no after-care. Likewise, would you apply body lotion and then get in the shower, have a wash with shower gel and just dry yourself off? Conditioner is there to nourish hair and "lock in" essential oils, whether that's moisture or protein. Reverse washing is not something I'd recommend; because it just washes all that nourishment out [from the conditioner]; it makes no sense." - Natalia Maxwell, Malcolm Murphy hair.
Maxwell went on so suggest hair primer, instead of conditioner first, to help people's hair.
