Leave-in Conditioner: The best way to keep your hair from breaking
Hair care is a big market and there are plenty of choices out
there for hair care products. So much so, that it leads to confusion as to what
products should be used. One such product is a leave-in conditioner. It is
a hair product that can work wonders on different hair problems. As the name
suggests, it is a conditioner to be left in the hair and not to be washed off.
Let's start with some hair problems and the products that can help manage both
your hair and hair problems.
Frizzy
hair
When you open your hair from the confines of elastic bands or
braids, they do not form a symmetrical shape. They fly in every direction. Each
strand of hair seems to have a mind of its own and they behave as they wish.
Frizzy hair also happens when curls are combed and their curly structure is
dispersed into various strands in a directionless bush. The reason for frizzy
hair is that hair strands cannot hold the moisture required to hold them in a
structure. Hair becomes airy. A good leave-in
conditioner gives the required weight to hold them in one place by
providing them with enough hydration.
Dry
hair
One of the most common hair problems is dry hair. When hair is
devoid of moisture due to a lack of enough oil produced by the scalp, they
become dry. Dry hair may also be frizzy but they are two different hair
conditions. Applying oil to the roots of the hair is a good way to circulate
the blood in the scalp and encourages the production of oils on its own. A good
hair routine like Mane
and tail shampoo and conditioner is a good option for dry hair.
It provides nourishment to the hair, making them shine by giving Vitamin E and
Pro-Vitamin B5.
Damaged
hair
This is another problem faced by the majority of people. A
lifestyle which gives no time to look after ourselves or our precious mane is
the main culprit. Overuse of styling products or no maintenance of hair due to
lack of time is also responsible. Damaged hair means the outer strip of the
hair strand is broken or ripped off which makes the hair vulnerable to further
problems. Dry scalp split ends, and loss of sheen all are noticeable traits of
damaged hair. The solution is to use a good shampoo followed by a conditioner
which will act as a protective layer for the hair while giving it nourishment.
You may colour your hair to get rid of the greys or to have
different look with red, brown, or green coloured hair. Whatever the case,
coloured hair requires more care to retain its colour for a long time.
Colouring also means introducing certain chemicals into the hair, which require
extra car Coloured hair
e so that hair is not damaged. For this purpose, Paul
Mitchell Awapuhi shampoo is a good product. It effectively
cleanses coloured hair but does not strip them of moisture or nutrients.
Awapuhi is the Hawaiian name for ginger which is the primary ingredient of this
product.
Thin
hair
Thick hair is a boon in itself but some people have thin hair
naturally or the hair becomes thin due to some factors like hair fall. Thin
hair means less density of hair on the scalp and the scalp is easily visible
through partings of hair. The causes of thin hair include pregnancy,
nutritional deficiency, stress, and some diseases. The thin hair needs a
volumising shampoo and conditioner. Certain hairstyles make thin hair look
better. Improving nutrition is also a good way to thicken the hair.
Greasy/Oily
hair
Greasy hair is a hair type that requires frequent cleansing as
it traps the dirt easily. The scalp part is greasy but the hair shaft may or
may not be greasy. This type of hair requires a different type of
shampoo-conditioner routine. One that cleans but does not fully strip away
natural oils or the oil glands or the scalp produces even more oil. Hydration
is an important factor to consider while buying products so conditioners with
aloe vera extracts are a good option.
End
Note
If your hair type is any of the types above, all require a good
shampoo and a conditioner. A classic conditioner is applied after shampoo and
left on for 3-5 mins while the leave-in does not need to be washed off
immediately. A leave-in conditioner is a good option as it stays longer on
hair thus giving better results. The main benefit of this product is that it
can be applied on shampooed, wet hair or also on the 2nd or 3rd day after
shampoo to tame your beautiful locks. Brushing after applying leave-in helps it
spread to all of the hair. Apply the leave-in and have a good hair day.
