You might not think you need conditioner, but chances are you do.
There may not be a product more important when it comes to your hair’s health and general wellbeing. Yes, shampoo is vital, but it’s nothing without conditioner. There are a number of reasons for this, but the main one is moisture.
Conditioner stops hair from becoming too dry, giving it life and a healthy look and feel, essential for anyone that wants to look after and maintain a good head of hair. In short, you’d do well to add it to your grooming routine, pronto.
Why you need conditioner
Without regular conditioner use, your hair might be silently suffering. Or, indeed, not so silently. Obvious signs you need to up your usage include a dry, itchy scalp and overly dry, limp hair. You’re probably already well acquainted with shampoo, but while it does a good job of cleaning hair, it removes many of your hair’s naturally occurring oils in the process. Overly oily hair is never an attractive look, but your hair needs some oil to give it life - in short, there’s a balance, and shampoo throws that balance off. That’s where conditioner comes in. Conditioner helps restore those lost oils, while nourishing the hair at the same time. It closes the cuticles of the hair after shampoo opens them, locking in moisture and those all-important nutrients. Something else to consider is that regardless of your hair length, conditioner is beneficial. Even if your hair is really short, conditioner softens it and moisturises the scalp at the same time, reducing both dryness and itchiness. It’s a win win.
How to use conditioner
Using conditioner is simple. But there are some basic steps to remember so you can best enjoy its benefits.
- Use two 50p coin-sized amounts of conditioner and smooth through the hair from its base to the ends, ensuring that your head is evenly covered.
- Leave in for a few minutes to allow the conditioner to properly soak into the hair
- Rinse thoroughly with warm water
- Do this 2-3 times a week depending on hair length - more if your hair is longer
- You should condition your hair more if it’s coarse, curly or wavy, and if your hair is overly dry because of chemical processing or heat styling
