Using a conditioner is an important part of a hair care routine, as it helps hydrate, soften and detangle your hair.

General Steps to Use a Conditioner

Shampoo Your Hair First

Before using a conditioner, shampoo your hair first to remove any buildup or dirt.

Rinse Out Shampoo

After you’ve shampooed your hair, rinse it out thoroughly with warm water. Make sure to remove all the shampoo from your hair.

Apply Conditioner

Take a small amount of conditioner in your hand and apply it to your hair, starting from the mid-lengths to the ends. Avoid applying it to your scalp, as it can weigh down your hair and make it look greasy.

Distribute Evenly 

Use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to distribute evenly throughout your hair.This ensures coating of every hair strand with the conditioner.

Let it Sit 

Let the conditioner sit on your hair for a few minutes. It can thus penetrate the hair shaft and get it hydrated and nourished.

Rinse Out

Rinse out the conditioner thoroughly with cool water. Make sure there is no residue left in your hair.

Dry Your Hair

Gently towel-dry your hair, and then style as usual.

Remember, not all conditioners are created equal. Some may be designed for specific hair types, so choose a conditioner that suits your hair type and resolve your issues.
