The correct way to use men's conditioner

Conditioner may be unfamiliar to boys, but it is a must for girls. However, many people do not know how to use conditioner correctly, especially boys. Some boys even mistake conditioner for shampoo. If boys want to keep their hair in good condition, they need to protect their hair, so conditioner is also necessary. This article introduces the correct use of conditioner for boys. Let's take a look.

Can men use conditioner?

Boys' hair is as important as girls'. Good hair quality and hairstyle are one of the necessary conditions for a stylish man. Therefore, boys must not ignore hair care, and choosing the right conditioner is the first step in boys' hair care.

As long as the hair is not soft and smooth, both men and women can use conditioner. Some boys use leave-in conditioner instead of nourishing conditioner for convenience, which is also wrong. Usually, leave-in conditioner only has anti-static function and can only form protection on the surface of hair, but it cannot penetrate into the hair roots and nourish damaged hair. Therefore, in the process of hair care for boys, nourishing and moisturizing conditioner must not be omitted when washing hair.

Why do boys also need conditioner?

Hair color and volume are innate, but the health of hair is acquired. Excessive perming, dyeing, and damage to hair caused by light, heat, and ultraviolet rays make the already lifeless hair even worse. Damage to the hair scales makes the hair dry, yellow, brittle, and loses its luster. These characteristics are not only found in girls, but also in boys.

Shampoo can hardly meet all the ingredients needed to repair damaged hair, so consumers tend to choose some quick-acting products, such as special care repair liquids, and conditioners are born. Shampoo uses anionic and non-ionic surfactants as the main raw materials to provide decontamination and foaming effects, while the main raw material of conditioner is cationic surfactant. After washing the hair with shampoo, use conditioner, which can neutralize the anionic molecules remaining on the surface of the hair, forming a monomolecular film, making tangled hair smooth and easy to comb. It can close the epidermal scales of the hair, making the hair smooth and easy to comb, healthy and soft, and can replenish nutrients to the hair and repair damaged hair more effectively than shampoo. Therefore, in order to better protect the hair quality, boys should also use good conditioner.

How to use conditioner

If you want to have perfect hair, there are many things you need to pay attention to when using conditioner, such as the water temperature, the frequency of using conditioner, the area where the conditioner is applied, etc. Here are some tips for using conditioner for different hair types.

Oily hair: Apply conditioner to the hair, not the scalp

Many people have this misunderstanding: hair already secretes too much oil, so there is no need to use conditioner. In fact, this idea is wrong. People with oily hair can use conditioner with astringent function, which helps to shrink pores and reduce oil secretion. When using it, remember to apply the conditioner on the hair, not the scalp. When shampooing, you should also pay attention to the water temperature not being too high to avoid stimulating oil secretion.

Dry hair: Comb your hair before washing and rinse the ends with cool water after washing

People with dry hair are prone to dry and split ends. People with dry hair are not suitable for washing their hair every day, but conditioner is essential when washing hair. Remember to comb your hair thoroughly before washing it so that the conditioner can be fully and smoothly separated. After washing your hair, you can rinse the ends of your hair with cold water for a while. Doing this frequently can effectively improve the problem of poor hair gloss.

Normal hair: Wash your hair with warm water close to body temperature

Neutral hair is the most ideal hair type, with normal oil secretion, not dry, less dandruff, and not as demanding to care for as oily or dry hair, after all, only a small number of people have this type of hair. Even if you are born beautiful, you still need to take care of it. When washing your hair, the water temperature should not be too high or too low, just close to the normal body temperature.

Frequency of using conditioner

How often you should use conditioner depends on the frequency of shampooing and the condition of your hair. For example, for oily hair, it is recommended to use it 1-2 times a week; for dry hair, it can be used every time you shampoo; for neutral hair, it is recommended to use it 2-3 times a week, but the specific situation still depends on your own hair condition.
