How To Choose A Hair Conditioner – Beauty Tips Archives by Kellilynn Marie
Choosing the correct hair conditioner is very similar to picking the right shampoo. The steps are pretty much the same…
First, it’s very important to classify what type of hair you have:
* Fine / Limp – If you have fine or limp hair you will want to steer clear of any heavy conditioners. Instead, use a lightweight conditioner that will not weigh your hair down. The hardest part about having fine hair is finding the correct conditioner that will condition as well as create volume.
* Normal – You can use just about any type of conditioner for normal hair. The only suggestion I have is to always provide your hair with the correct proteins and moisture it requires. So make sure the heavy or lightweight conditioner you use also provides the essential oils.
* Curly / Wavy – Moisture, moisture, moisture. I think you get my point. Curly hair usually lacks the correct amount of natural oils required which results in dry hair. This is because the oil at the scalp doesn’t make it to the ends of the hair. If you replenish the hair with moisture you will notice better curling, less frizziness and a shinier outcome.
* Course – Course hair needs a heavy conditioner that contains a smoothing element to help weigh down and coat the hairs cuticle. This will also help to reduce unwanted volume.
Second, once you have determined what kind of hair you have, here are a few tips on what conditioners to use for the different hair issues:
* Oily Hair – Oily hair is tricky but what I’ve found is that a 2-in-1 (shampoo plus conditioner) work best due to the fact that the conditioner is milder.
* Dry / Damaged / Frizzy – A moisturizing or hydrating conditioner will work best
* Normal – use any conditioner labeled ” For Normal Hair”
* Fine / Limp – Use a volumizing or thickening conditioner
* Color Treated – A conditioner without silicone is recommended. Silicone is known to strip color out of the hair. So buy a conditioner labeled for colored hair, color safe, or color enhancing.
Final Thoughts:
If you have fine hair, you should be very careful with the selecting a conditioner because if it’s too heavy it will weigh down the hair. If you have dry or curly hair, use a deep conditioning treatment once a week to keep your hair healthy. Always be sure to rinse your hair extremely well after conditioning.
