When is conditioner used? How to choose conditioner

Sihaiwang: many people use conditioner when they wash their hair. Conditioner is a common conditioner in our daily life. Using conditioner can protect our hair and make our hair more healthy and smooth. So what is conditioner made of? What is conditioner used for?

What is conditioner made of

Conditioner is mainly composed of surfactants, auxiliary surfactants, cationic conditioners, fat liquors, oil, chelating agents, preservatives, pigments, flavors and other active ingredients. Among them, surfactant mainly plays the role of emulsification, antistatic and bacteriostatic; auxiliary surfactant can assist emulsification; cationic conditioner can play the role of softness, antistatic, moisturizing and conditioning for hair. These ingredients determine the acidity of the conditioner.

Hair conditioner should be silicon free. When we purchase hair conditioner, we must pay attention to screening, because some hair conditioners may damage hair, such as silicon containing hair conditioner products, which will block the absorption of nutrients in hair, so it is better not to use them.

When is conditioner used

After washing your hair with shampoo, first dry it with a dry towel, then use conditioner. Do not use conditioner first, then use shampoo, because shampoo is provided with anionic and non-ionic surfactants as main raw materials to provide decontamination and foaming. The main raw material of conditioner is cationic surfactant. It can neutralize molecules that contain anions on the surface of the hair and form a monolayer, so that the tangled hair is obedient and easy to comb. If the order of use of the two is reversed, the conditioner will not play the original role.

How to use conditioner

There are two ways to use conditioner: one is to rinse the hair after washing, take a proper amount of conditioner, rub the hair for a while, and then rinse it with water; the other is to rinse the washed hair, take a proper amount of conditioner and disperse it in a basin filled with water, then rub it for a while with the dispersed conditioner and hair, and then rinse it with water.

How to choose conditioner when hair is very dry

Dry hair and dyed hair tend to look drier and yellower, so extra care is needed. It is advisable to choose the conditioner with high efficiency, cleaning and deep maintenance function.

Too much conditioner is not good

When using conditioner for oily hair, be careful. Excessive use of conditioner will cause dandruff to grow. When using it, just smear it on the dry hair tip, and try to use conditioner less on the scalp.

Do not apply conditioner on the hair root. When using conditioner, apply conditioner evenly on the hair, especially on the hair tail. Do not apply conditioner on the hair root. Otherwise, it will strengthen the secretion of scalp oil, causing the hair to look oily soon. Then gently massage the hair for 1 minute, and then wash it with warm water. It's better to let conditioner stay on the hair for 5 minutes after massage, so that the hair can fully absorb the nutrients of conditioner, which is also a good little skill.
