Regular washing helps to remove dirt and dandruff that build up in the hair, but also removes beneficial natural oils. In addition, frequent use of hairdressing tools with heat, chemicals and natural weather can also make your hair dry, frizzy and damaged. However, this can be easily overcome by using conditioner to condition your hair. There are three main types of conditioner: the conditioner, the dry conditioner and the intensive conditioner - each one plays a role respectively to give your hair a seductive softness.
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Use Normal Conditioner
Choose the conditioner that's right for your hair type. Use regular conditioner every time you shower, right after you wash it with shampoo. This is a conditioner that restores the damage caused by heat, chemicals, and general damage that your hair goes through on a daily basis. Choose a conditioner advertised to match the specific needs of your hair; Whether your hair is frizzy, dry and damaged, or your hair is weak, there is a separate conditioner that can help improve each hair type.
Shampoo. Follow your regular shower and shower cycle. You will be using conditioner after shampooing, so wash and clean the scalp and hair area with your favorite shampoo. Especially focusing on the scalp, do not tug on your hair while you are washing your hair, as it can damage the roots and cause hair loss.
Rinse off the shampoo. While you may not be comfortable, rinse your hair with the coldest water possible. Cold water is safer for hair than hot water, and will help tighten the hair shaft, preventing breakage. Rinse off the shampoo with cold water, taking care not to pull the strands of hair when you put your hands in the hair. When you feel your hair "hissing" it means that the shampoo is clean.
Wring out the hair. If your hair is wet, the conditioner you use will wash off immediately and not affect your hair in time. You may not need to wipe your hair too much if you have short hair. However, if you have long hair, take some time to make it as dry as possible.
Use conditioner. Pour a little conditioner into the palm of your hand; The amount of conditioner depends on the length of the hair, use about a dime for chin-length or shorter hair. If your hair is very long, you may need to fill your palm with conditioner. Rub conditioner into the ends of your hair, trying to massage evenly into each strand of hair. You should only use conditioner on the ends of your hair, as this is the weakest part (the oldest part). Rubbing conditioner near oily areas and roots can actually clog hair follicles, and slow hair growth and increase oil secretion.
Wait for the conditioner to seep into your hair. This step is up to you; The longer you leave it on, the more effective the conditioner will be. If you are in a hurry, you can wash it almost immediately after using the conditioner, but that won't make your hair as soft and shiny as it normally is. Try to use conditioner, then do other things like wash your face or shower while you wait. Then, when you are finished washing your face or showering, you can rinse your head with water gently for maximum effect.
Rinse off the conditioner. Try to use the water as cold as possible. As mentioned above, cold water makes your hair healthier. Take a few minutes to rinse the conditioner; If your hair still feels "slimy" then the conditioner is not clean. When your hair is smooth and it no longer feels slippery, your hair is completely clean! Wring out the hair and you're done with the conditioner.
Method 2 of 3: Use Dry Conditioner
Choose a dry conditioner for your hair type. As with regular conditioner, there are many types of conditioner available depending on your needs. Dry conditioner comes in two main forms: cream and spray. Cream for thick, long, or curly hair, as the cream will pull the strands down a bit. The spray form is suitable for thin or straight hair, as it is a bit lighter.
Wash your hair and use conditioner. Try to come up with a daily hair care regimen for yourself. Dry conditioner does not need to be rinsed with water (as the name implies), but only for damp hair. Follow the instructions above to wash and rinse your hair, then dry it so it is only slightly damp.
Pour a little bit of serum onto your palm. Most products recommend a pea-sized amount for medium-length, long hair, but this will vary from person to person. You usually tend to use more of your hair, so try using less than you think you will need.
Rub the product into your hair. Rub your hands together so that the conditioner spreads thinly and evenly over your palms, then start to rub the conditioner from the ends of your hair.Just like regular conditioner, avoid rubbing them close to the scalp or hairline; Apply it to the weakest part (the oldest part), usually from the middle of the hair down.
To comb. Use a wide tooth comb to brush your hair after drying conditioner. This will help the conditioner stick to the hair more evenly, and prevent it from accumulating in one place, making it greasy while the other is dry.
Method 3 of 3: Use an Intensive Conditioner
Choose a deep conditioner. All intensive conditioner lines have the same goal: to restore dry and severely damaged hair. So, there aren't too many "types" of specialized conditioner to choose from, just different brands. Find an extensive line of conditioner that meets your hair needs and budget.
Wet hair. Rinse through your hair with warm or cold water (the colder the better). You can also wash it with shampoo first if you want, but all you really need is to get your hair wet. Then try to dry as much of your hair as possible.
Use a deep conditioner. Scoop a bit of conditioner out of the container, place it in your palm, then rub a thick layer over the entire head. Focus on rubbing conditioner on the ends of your hair, but it can also be applied to the roots. Be sure to divide your hair into curls so that each strand is covered with conditioner.
Wait for the conditioner to seep into your hair. Use a shower cap over your head to prevent hair from sticking to your face and clothes. Follow the individual product instructions to ensure effective recovery of conditioner damage. Usually, conditioner works best after 20-30 minutes. If you shorten the time, you can use a hairdryer to warm your hair, so the conditioner will work faster.
Rinse off the conditioner. Remove the shower cap, and use as cold water as possible. Take 3-5 minutes to wash off the conditioner, being careful not to leave any residual conditioner on your hair. When your hair no longer feels "slimy", then you wash off the conditioner. At this point, you are free to dry and style the hair you like.
Advice
- Avoid chemicals as well as hair tools that use heat on a regular basis, as they will damage your hair and you will have to use more conditioner than usual.
- Use conditioner at least once a week. Do not overuse or use on scalp, especially if your hair is oily.
- Do not brush your hair when it is wet, as this may make it more susceptible to breakage and damage.
