Hair Conditioning: A Step By Step Guide


 

Dry hair? Damaged hair? Chemically-treated hair? Any one or all of them? Hair conditioning treatment may prove to be your saviour! A hair conditioner is usually the second step in the hair care regime. While shampoo is designed to clean off hair products, impurities and dead skin cells, conditioner protects the hair shafts from damage and makes the hair softer and easily manageable. Conditioners are a product packed with moisture and nutrients that repair and rejuvenate your hair.

 

Here is all you need to know about what hair conditioning does for your hair and why it is an important part of your hair care regimen.

 

How to apply a hair conditioner?

 

●     Always shampoo your hair first as hair conditioning works best on clean hair. We recommend using Palmers Coconut Shampoo for all hair types.

●      

●       Rinse out all the shampoo and squeeze the excess water out of your hair.

●       Use the recommended amount of conditioner on wet hair that is mentioned on the bottle.

●       Spread it evenly on your hair lengths. Don’t apply it to your scalp. If you have dry, damaged or chemically-treated hair, apply it from the root to the tip and if you have oily hair, apply it from chin level and down.

●       Use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb through the ends of your hair to spread it evenly.

●       Leave the conditioner on for 1-2 minutes to give your hair enough time to absorb the essential nutrients and moisture.

●       Thoroughly rinse it off with cold water.

 

Who should use a hair conditioner?

 

Any individual who washes their hair with shampoo should also use a conditioner. Shampoo removes sebum - a natural conditioner produced by our head.

Especially dry and damaged hair that’s frequently styled with heat styling tools or coloured-treated should be regularly treated with conditioner. Conditioning is a great hair care solution for every hair type. People who don’t colour or blow-dry their hair can have hair damage by pulling hair back in ponytails or headbands. This daily wear and tear can cause hair to become dull and frizzy which can damage hair shafts.

 

Choose the right conditioner for your hair

 

Take into account your hair type and styling routine while choosing a hair conditioner. Different hair types and textures will require different ingredients to best treat them. Blow-dry or colour-treated hair will require extra moisture.

  1. Colour-treated hair

Your hair will have extra wear and tear if you have coloured, bleached or permed it. Look for a colour care conditioner that is specifically designed for colour-treated hair.

 

  1. Curly hair

If you have curly hair, you might need to be more careful while applying conditioner to your hair because curly hair can be prone to frizz and dryness. Use a wide-tooth comb to spread the conditioner evenly on your hair.

 

  1. Textured hair

If you have thicker hair shafts, you may require a stronger conditioner that will heal and protect your hair from further damage.

 

Types of conditioner

 
  1. Rinse-out conditioners

This is the most common type which is typically applied to damp hair after shampoo. It is left on for a few minutes and rinsed off thoroughly. Rinse-out conditioner protects the hair cuticles from damage and ensures soft, shiny and easily manageable hair.

 

    1. Leave-in conditioners

    These conditioners act as a moisturiser while forming a protective layer on your hair. They easily detangle the hair and make it soft and easy for you to style.

    We recommend using African Pride Leave-in Conditioner for all hair types.

  1. Deep conditioners

These conditioners are packed with hydrating properties and are ideally suitable for dry, damaged hair. They are left on for about 30 minutes on the hair and then rinsed off thoroughly. Deep conditioners aim at repairing and hydrating damaged hair.

 
  1. Hair masks

These are meant to moisturise, hydrate, nourish and repair your hair, making it voluminous and healthier. The product deeply penetrates through the hair cuticles nourishing your hair with essential proteins and hydrating ingredients.

 

Hair conditioners moisturise, nourish and replenish your hair to make it appear healthy, soft, shiny and lustrous. Conditioning is an important part if you are looking for proper hair care solutions for any hair type. Choose the best conditioner that will suit your hair type to achieve the best results.

If you're like most people, shampoo and conditioner are the last things you think about when it comes to taking care of your hair. But there are a few things to remember when choosing what to use on your locks. Here are some tips:   Shampoo vs Conditioner: What Does Each Do?   Shampooing is an essential hygiene step, while conditioning is often considered a luxury. However, both products have their benefits. Conditioners are designed to replenish and condition the hair, while shampoos remove the scalp dirt, oil, and sweat.   Shampooing can help eliminate scalp irritation and dandruff, whereas conditioning helps restore moisture balance and strengthen hair shafts. Additionally, conditioning can help reduce frizziness and flyaways in hair.   Some people prefer shampoo as their only rinse-out item, while others might condition their hair after every wash to keep it feeling soft and silky.
