Which conditioner works best? 3 types of hair that need conditioner

Conditioner is usually used to moisturize hair and is generally used together with shampoo. However, many people often use conditioner in incorrect techniques and order, which usually affects the effect of use. In addition, different hair types require suitable conditioners to be effective. Otherwise, it will have a counterproductive effect and affect the texture and beauty of the hair. So how should we use conditioner to achieve the best results?

1. The ingredients of hair conditioner

Hair conditioners are generally available in the market as transparent or colored pastes, usually in long packages. Shampoo generally uses anions as the main raw material, while conditioner uses cationic substances as the raw material. The two are neutralized to form a monomolecular protective film, which prevents hair from tangling and makes it soft and smooth.

2. What kind of hair needs conditioner

1. Oily hair

Many people have this misunderstanding: since the hair already has excess oil secretion, there is no need to use conditioner. In fact, this idea is wrong. When choosing conditioner, people with oily hair can choose products with astringent function, which helps to shrink pores and reduce oil secretion. When using, remember to apply the conditioner on the hair, not the scalp. When shampooing, you should also pay attention to the water temperature not being too high to avoid stimulating oil secretion.

2. Dry hair

People with dry hair are prone to dry and split hair. People with dry hair are not suitable for washing their hair every day. Conditioner is essential when washing your hair. When choosing a conditioner, you can choose a moisturizing conditioner. Remember to comb your hair thoroughly before shampooing to ensure that the conditioner is fully and smoothly distributed. After washing your hair, you can rinse the ends of your hair with cold water for a while. Doing this frequently can effectively improve the problem of poor hair gloss.

3. Neutral hair

Neutral hair is the most ideal hair quality, with normal oil secretion, not dry, and less dandruff. It does not require as much care as oily or dry hair. After all, there are still only a few people with this hair quality. Even if you are born beautiful, you still need to take care of yourself. When choosing a conditioner, you can choose a moisture-locking and moisturizing type, which will not cause extra burden on your hair and allow you to maintain your current hair quality. When washing your hair, the water temperature should not be too high or too low, it should be close to the normal body temperature.

3. How to use conditioner to achieve the best hair care effect

1. Before using conditioner, be sure to dry your hair until no water is dripping, and then apply the conditioner. By the same token, the more concentrated the hair care nutrients, such as essences, hair masks and the like, the higher the dryness requirements for the hair.

2. When using conditioner, add a few drops of olive oil and mix them. The hair care effect of olive oil can provide deeper care for the hair.

3. After applying the conditioner, you can wrap your hair with a towel that has been washed with hot water and is still warm, which will help the hair absorb the nutrients of the conditioner.

4. After applying the conditioner, do not rinse it too thoroughly. The function of the conditioner is equivalent to covering the surface of the hair with a protective film, thereby achieving the effect of maintaining the hair.

4. How often should you use conditioner?

How often you use conditioner depends on how often you wash your hair and the condition of your hair.

1. Oily hair

It is recommended to use 1 to 2 times a week.

2. Dry hair

It is recommended to use 3 to 4 times a week.

3. Neutral hair

It is recommended to use 2 to 3 times a week.

5. Conditioner can only maintain hair for a certain period of time

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, split ends and dryness. 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. However, the actual condition of hair varies from person to person, and conditioner does not have the same effect on everyone.

6. Don’t limit yourself to one brand of conditioner

As an important source of nutrition for hair, of course the more nutritious it is, the better. The ingredients and formula of a brand of conditioner are often fixed and simple. Therefore, when using conditioner, do not always limit yourself to one brand or one function. After using it for 3-6 months, you should appropriately switch to other brands or conditioners with other functions. When applying conditioner, you should apply it to the middle or ends of the hair, rather than the roots of the hair close to the scalp, and comb your hair thoroughly to ensure that the conditioner is evenly and smoothly distributed. If it is an instant conditioner, then before using it, use a towel to absorb the water on the washed hair. When there is too much water in the hair, the conditioner cannot be effectively absorbed.
