Conditioners hydrate and moisturize hair. Hair is softer and easier to handle when conditioner is used instead of shampoo.
Some conditioners offer gentle cleansing ingredients that eliminate oil and product buildup from hair and scalp without harsh shampoos.
Shampoos remove natural oils, drying and damaging hair. Natural hair oils can be preserved by co-washing.
Curly and coily hair types are drier and need more moisture, hence co-washing is common.
Start by thoroughly soaking your hair with warm water.
Use plenty of conditioner on your lengths and ends. If you wish to cleanse your scalp, simply massage it in.
While the conditioner is in, untangle your hair with a wide-tooth comb or fingers. This prevents breaking.
Rinse conditioner from hair fully. Make sure nothing remains.
You can apply your standard styling products.
