What are the functions of conditioner that you don’t know?

I believe that conditioner is not unfamiliar to female friends, because after using conditioner, the hair will be smoother, which is why so many women like to use it. Conditioner can actually effectively repair damaged hair cells, thus preventing the hair from becoming dry.

Use

It is generally believed that hair has a negative charge. After washing your hair with shampoo (mainly anionic detergents, soap also belongs to this category), the hair will have more negative charges, thereby generating static electricity, making it inconvenient to comb your hair. When using conditioner, its main ingredient, cationic quaternary ammonium salt, can neutralize the anionic molecules remaining on the surface of the hair and leave a uniform monomolecular film. This wonderful thing will bring a series of benefits to the hair: softness, glossiness, easy combing, anti-static, and can repair the mechanical damage of the hair and the damage caused by chemical perm, electric perm, and hair dye to a certain extent.

Precautions

The surface of healthy hair is composed of a complete set of hair scales and naturally secreted oils that form a protective film of the hair. Excessive washing, perming, dyeing, and sun exposure will destroy this natural protective film and cause moisture loss in the cortex. Makes hair dry and loses elasticity and softness. Only by using conditioner regularly can a lasting protective film be formed on the hair to protect it from damage.

Shampoo uses anionic and nonionic surfactants as the 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.
