How important is the pre-wash?

[Quantum Cat]

some treatment shampoos say that you should massage it into your scalp, leave it for a couple of minutes, rinse it out, and then use it again but leave it in for longer to get the full effect. I've read that's what you're supposed to do with Nizoral too.

How important is this pre-wash? - I usually don't have time in the morning to have long showers, but want to maximise the benefits of the shampoos.

I prewash with tea tree shampoo then do nizoral

how long do your showers take?

so without a prewash the medicated shampoo can't penetrate properly? Can't you just rinse your hair in water?

I pre wash with tea tree or jasons thin to thick, then rinse.

I proceed to wash with nizoral and leave it in for approx 3-5 mins as I wash the rest of my body/face.

I proceed to rinse the nizoral and apply the tea tree or jasons conditioner

Total Shower = approx 9-10 mins

I believe the shampoo would cleanse the hair and scalp prepping for the main wash. I dont think just rinsing with water can do this.

try a pre-wash with a basic shampoo beforehand to get all the oil/grime/topicals left from last night out. then use your medicated shampoo (nizoral). this should help the nizoral last longer too. the extra prewash shouldnt take more than like 2 minutes. just wake up 2 minutes earlier.
