There are plenty of myths that say using a hair conditioner is bad for your hair. In actuality, when used properly, hair conditioners can be a good way to keep your hair healthy. There has to be a reason the model looks so happy in the Herbel Essence commericals, right? Here are some reasons as to how conditioning your hair can make you and your locks happier and healthier.
1) Your hair needs moisture.
Factors such as weather (especially with the winter coming) can dry out your hair. Using hair straighteners, blow-dryers, or other hair tools can also dry up your hair which causes spit ends and breakage. Conditions function to provide extra moisture to prevent your hair from feeling the heat.
2) Conditioner makes hair shiny & smooth
Conditioners smooth our cuticles which causes your hair to look silky and smooth. It also gives the appearance of healthy ends.
3) Prevents Static
“Not only will a quality hair conditioner help smoothen your hair and make it more manageable, it will help prevent “fly away” and/or static hair”
4) Can make your hair grow
Many conditioners come with nutrients to enhance hair growth. They also play a role in volumizing hair and eliminating hair thinning to give your mane a full healthy look
5) Makes it easier to comb and pre-style
I’ve found that conditioner makes it much easier to comb your hair after a shower. This makes your morning-routine slightly faster so you have time to enjoy that bowl of cereal. Depending on what kind of conditioner you choose, you can make styling faster by choosing a product that gets your hair follicles ready. There are options such a straight or curly hair conditioners that allow you hair to be more resilient to how you want to style your do.
Using Conditioner the Right way:
– If your hair already produces its own moisture, using conditioner on a daily basis can weigh down your hair and cause build up. Stick with just shampoo.
– Don’t go crazy with the conditioner. Stick to the ends and do not use it on a daily basis. If you overuse it, your hair can become dull and may dry out your scalp.
– Use the conditioner that’s right for your hair type. Take the extra time to browse the isles. Organic conditioner is becoming a popular trend. It’s a great way to avoid harmful chemicals in some products.
– Leave in the condition for a few minutes before you rinse it out. Put some in while you shave your legs or wash your body. This method can also save time as well your locks!
