Hair Conditioning Benefits

Conditioning helps you to combat the damage done by chemical hair treatment, coloring, heat styling and environmental pollution to your hair.

Conditioners should be used only after shampooing your hair and they are meant for hair shafts and not for the scalp.

Before conditioning your hair you should shampoo, rinse and towel dry them. Then take a small amount of conditioner on your palm and evenly distribute it on the hair shafts, either with your hand or a wide toothed comb.

Leave the conditioner on the hair for some time, depending upon the leave in or rinse out variety.

For normal hair apply conditioner for 3-5 minutes. For dry hair, apply for 5-7 minutes. For oily hair keep it for 2-3 minutes.

For very dry or damaged hair, it is recommended to apply conditioner on the hair shaft. Wrap a hot damp towel. Leave for 5-7 minutes and rinse.

See to it that no residue is left when you are using a rinse out conditioner; therefore rinse your hair properly.

Using conditioners in excess can result in dull limp hair. Keep your hair and scalp clean for healthy hair. Wet hair is more sensitive and vulnerable than when dry, therefore you must take a good care of them.
