When it comes to haircare, shampoos have always been considered essential, however, many people tend to ignore the importance of conditioning! If you happen to be one such person, Here’s a few reasons why you might want to reconsider the conditioner:
-
Moisture: Shampoos are great for cleaning, but in doing so often strip away your natural essential oil, leaving your strands vulnerable! Using a conditioner helps to restore balance and moisture to your strands.
-
Smoothness: The cuticle refers to the very outer layer of your hair, using a conditioner helps to ensure that this layer remains smooth and friction-free, which in turn gives your hair that iconic velvety texture and prevents tangling.
-
Elasticity: Consistently using conditioners strengthen’s the hair shaft, this makes your hair more elastic and thereby less prone to breakage when styling it with products or blow dryers.
-
Protection: Every time you use a conditioner, you provide your hair with a protective barrier which acts as a shield against harmful UV rays, pollution and heat; in fact it also reduces the risk of split ends, and even minimizes tugs when combing.
-
Static: Ah yes, the static factor… the logic is simple really - having smooth, friction-free hair means that you're less likely to be bothered by those pesky flyaway strands.
Conditioners are often considered as optional purchases, but they are just as essential as shampoos, if not more! Cleaning in only 50% of the process, conditioning your hair is what helps take it from average to awe-inspiring! So next time you’re considering a haircare rehaul, don’t skimp on the conditioner!
