We've all been there. Jumped into the shower. Looking at the rack of products sitting in the shower room. Maybe you're tired or in a hurry or just not in the mood for a five minute shower. We've all been guilty of forgetting our conditioner and assuming that shampoo is enough to clean our scalp. Or you are a man, thinking that conditioners are for ladies who has long hair. The reality is that you need to use these two products in combination together to achieve a healthy scalp.
What is a Conditioner?
Conditioner works separately from your shampoo and has its own unique properties. Hope you'll never try one of those 2-in-1 shampoo-conditioners because Conditioner should be a standalone product in its use. It should always follow after shampoo and never precede it. This step 2 conditioning is also an important step in your hair care regimen and you should not miss it too often.
Who needs to use a Conditioner?
The short answer is everyone, including men. Yes, men should absolutely use conditioner. If you have short hair, maybe you don’t need to use as much as people with longer hair. But guys with all kinds of hair can benefit from using a conditioner. Guys with any length, texture, or curl will particularly demand conditioner, as will guys whose hair is thinning rapidly and risking permanent loss. Conditioners can do so many favors in making each of these hair types healthiest, strongest, and style ready. Your scalp produces sebum, an oil that is essentially a natural conditioner. Every time you apply shampoo to your hair, you’re stripping the follicles of this sebum. If you have thinner hair or have suffered from hair loss in the past, then a conditioner is non-negotiable. Conditioner helps to protect the hair shaft from breakage and makes the hair more flexible for styling. Most of us have suffered damage to our hair. Either through dying the colour or from normal wear and tear from using hair scrunchies. If you’re someone who styles their hair using hot tools, or if you’re a fan of a box dye, you’ll want to pay close attention to your conditioner. It can help reduce the frizz in your hair and restore its moisture levels. Conditioner also helps prevent split ends and makes your hair easier to brush through by preventing any tangling. If you have hair that is prone to breakage, you can wash your hair with only a conditioner for a gentler clean. It’s best to only use this method every once in a while and for no longer than two weeks. If you are suffering hair loss from a dry scalp issue, then it is important to apply conditioner after shampooing for the scalp to have the necessary moisture it needs. In short, a conditioner keeps your scalp healthy and works far harder than your shampoo.
How are Shampoo and Conditioner different?
Think of your haircare regimen like your skincare regimen. If the shampoo is the cleanser, and your conditioner is the moisturizer. Both have separate roles to play, and they work best when you use them in unison. Shampoo removes the sweat and dirt from your hair. As the product works to clean your hair, it also strips your hair of its moisture. Conditioner, in essence, keeps your hair soft, strong, and hydrated. It is filled with hair strengthening vitamins, minerals, proteins, and other nutrients, all of which seep into each strand to nourish hair while reversing damage and moisture loss. Using a conditioner prevents hair from becoming too dry and fortifies the cuticle to prevent damage and hair breakage. It makes your hair softer and easier to brush through by preventing tangles and knots. Conditioner also provides a protective coating to the outer layers of the hair shaft to give the hair sheen and a thicker appearance. Conditioner can also give your hair a natural and healthy shine, as well as helping to restore its pH balance. Because Conditioner needs to contain these extras, a Conditioner version is generally more expensive than its equivalent Shampoo version.
