Nowadays, both men and women love beauty very much, especially when washing their hair, they usually pay attention to the whole set of levels, washing and conditioning together. When washing hair, conditioner is usually an indispensable part. In life, most people will apply conditioner when washing their hair. In fact, although applying conditioner is good, the application method must be correct, otherwise it will be harmful to the skin.

Is it good to use conditioner after washing your hair?

It is good to use conditioner after washing your hair, but you must use conditioner correctly, otherwise it will cause damage to your scalp.

Hair conditioner is mainly composed of surfactant factors, auxiliary surfactants, cationic conditioning agents, etc. Surfactants mainly play the role of emulsification, antistatic, and antibacterial. Auxiliary surfactants can assist in emulsification. Cationic ions can soften the hair and are also antistatic. They combine with the residual ions in the shampoo and adsorb them perfectly to remove them. In addition, they can completely hydrolyze the harmful molecules remaining in the original shampoo so that they can be rinsed clean by water.

Shampoo is a chemical reagent, and of course conditioner is also a chemical reagent. Although conditioner can remove residual substances from shampoo, we still need to rinse our hair several times with water when using conditioner to ensure that no chemical substances remain on the head. This is the only way to achieve real hair care.

What happens if you wash your hair for a long time without using conditioner?

Conditioner is acidic and is mainly used with alkaline shampoo. Because after washing your hair with alkaline shampoo, the hair cuticles will open, and the hair will become rough and lack luster. Acidic conditioner can balance the acidity and alkalinity of the hair, remove residual alkaline substances, allow the hair cuticles to close better, and moisturize the hair, making the hair soft and smooth after use.

If you have short hair and it's healthy, then it doesn't matter whether you use conditioner or not. I have short hair and it's healthy. I never use conditioner and my hair has been fine for decades. If your hair has been permed or dyed, and its alkaline nature has damaged it, you should consider using conditioner. Because your damaged hair scales fall off and become uneven, resulting in a rough surface and lack of luster. If you do not use conditioner, the hair will swell and become stiff due to the shampoo and the alkaline nature of the damaged hair, and the surface will become more frizzy and lose elasticity.

Damaged hair will be dry after washing without conditioner, but it will instantly become soft and smooth after using conditioner. However, conditioner can only moisturize and lubricate. To improve hair quality, special products such as hair masks are still needed, because conditioner can only wrap a layer of film on the surface of the hair.

If you don't use conditioner for a long time, it will have no effect on the health of your hair, but damaged hair, especially severely damaged hair, may become difficult to comb, and the hair quality will become worse and worse, becoming thicker, harder, more brittle and more likely to break. Therefore, it is recommended to use conditioner for this type of hair.
