Slap on a shower cap, and turn on your favorite episode of Dancing with the Stars while you wait for the conditioner to work its magic. Another note: it will drip, which is totally nasty {but worth it in the end!} When you’re all done waiting patiently to see your beautiful conditioned tresses, it’s time to rinse.
