Why do you use Conditioner?
What is the purpose of conditioner?
Conditioner restores moisture balance, reduces hair damage, and improves manageability for hair. These are essential for maintaining hair health!
- Restore moisture balance: Shampoo strips away your scalp's natural oils to clean your hair, whereas conditioner contains ingredients that adhere to the hair shaft, which helps to seal in moisture. This keeps the hair hydrated.
- Reduce friction and damage: The outermost layer of a hair strand is called the hair cuticle, and with water and shampoo, it can become rough and lifted. Conditioners smooth down the cuticle, reducing friction between strands. This is how conditioners detangle hair and split ends (often created by open cuticles).
- Improve manageability: Conditioner makes your hair easier to comb and style by smoothing the hair cuticle. This results in hair that looks less frizzy and more shiny!
What is the best way to use conditioner?
- Apply to ends: It's recommended to apply conditioner to the ends of your hair, where they are most prone to tangling and splitting.
- Give it time: Once you massage the conditioner into the ends of your hair, let it sit for ~30 seconds so it can work its magic.
- Wash it out: Rinse thoroughly and enjoy smooth, happy hair!
