How to clean expired conditioner

Normally, we throw away conditioner if we cannot finish it, which is very wasteful. In fact, there are many ways to use expired conditioner, and the uses are very powerful. Conditioner itself has the effect of softening and removing grease. Using expired conditioner to clean the floor, toilet, and sweaters is very effective. It can not only remove odors, but also play a role in cleaning. The effect is great. Therefore, don’t throw away expired conditioner anymore, keep it for many uses.

What to do with expired conditioner

1. Use expired conditioner for a wonderful purpose

When we usually wash pillowcases, we can use expired or disliked conditioners, because our hair contains oil, and of course the pillowcases also have it. The laundry detergent we usually use cannot remove the oil very well, and the conditioner contains this kind of grease-removing ingredients, so it is best to use conditioner to wash the pillowcases. It also smells fresh and feels great.

In the past, my toilet always smelled every once in a while, making the air in the bathroom very bad. The most embarrassing thing was that when we had guests over, they thought our home was very unhygienic. For this reason, I often spray air freshener, but the effect is not great. But I can't always carry a bottle of toilet cleaner in my hand. So, one day, I poured a bottle of expired conditioner at home into the toilet tank. After a few minutes, I flushed it with water. The strange smell in the toilet was gone, replaced by a sweet smell. From then on, I collected expired conditioner and dropped a few drops into the water tank when the toilet smelled. I naturally found a magic formula for cleaning the toilet.

2. Use expired conditioner for better results

After washing the sweater, use it as a softener in clean water and soak the sweater in it for a while. Take out after 5 minutes. After drying, it is soft, loose and does not generate static electricity.

3. Three uses for expired conditioner

Conditioner, also known as conditioner, is usually used in pairs with shampoo. After shampooing, apply an appropriate amount of conditioner evenly on the hair, rub it gently for about one minute, and then rinse it with clean water. Therefore, some people call it rinse-out conditioner, which is a hair cosmetic.

Hair toners are divided into two types based on their appearance: transparent type and emulsion type. Emulsion products are more common on the market.

Shampoo uses anionic and nonionic surfactants as main raw materials to provide cleaning and foaming effects, while the main raw material of conditioner is cationic surfactants. After washing your hair with shampoo, use conditioner, which can neutralize the anionic molecules remaining on the surface of the hair, forming a monomolecular film, making tangled hair smooth and easy to comb.

Things You Didn't Know About Conditioner

1. Occasionally use conditioner before shampoo

It may sound counterintuitive, but shampooing your hair before applying conditioner can add weight to your hair. Hair experts remind us that few people will thoroughly rinse the conditioner out of their hair, which will not only damage the hair quality, but also make your hair unable to be fluffy after drying. Therefore, using conditioner first and then shampoo can thoroughly clean your hair without damaging the volume and elasticity of your hair.

2. Don’t apply conditioner to the roots of your hair

Apply conditioner from the ends of your hair to the middle of its length, as this is the only part of your hair that needs moisture.

3. You don’t necessarily need to use shampoo with conditioner

Washing your hair with shampoo every day can sometimes lead to dry ends and split ends, so it is best to shampoo every other day. However, conditioner can be used every day, but be careful to rinse off the residue thoroughly after use.

It is important to use conditioner correctly

To avoid dry and yellow hair, use conditioner correctly:

The purpose of conditioner is to tighten the hair cuticles, because after tightening, the hair will not be easily damaged. There is no need to distinguish between different hair types when using conditioner. All hair needs conditioner the same, but the correct way to use conditioner has a lot to do with the effect after use.

After shampooing, apply to the hair 5-8 cm away from the scalp, avoiding the roots of the hair. Generally, gently rub for 1-3 minutes and then rinse with clean water. If you want a more obvious effect, you can try wrapping the hair with plastic wrap to nourish it more deeply. The effect will be softer and smoother than the former.

The longer you leave the conditioner on, the better:

Regarding the use of conditioner, many people think that the longer the conditioner is left on, the better it moisturizes the hair. In fact, this is not true. Experts tell us that conditioner can only provide nutrients to hair within a certain period of time. Once the effective time is exceeded, it will not only fail to nourish the hair, but also easily cause it to tangle, become dry and split. Conditioner can neutralize the alkalinity in shampoo, keep the hair in the best state of weak acidity, replenish nutrients to the hair, make the hair soft and smooth, and maintain a healthy luster. If used properly, it can also improve blood flow to the scalp and stimulate hair papilla and hair matrix cells.
