Textured hair (wavy, curly, frizzy) has specific hair care needs to keep it moisturised, soft and manageable. Conditioner is one of the key products for keeping hair healthy and beautiful. With the rise in popularity of methods such as ‘No Poo’ and multi-functional products, the uses for conditioner are diversifying. In this article, we’ll explore why conditioner is essential, its different uses, and we’ll also take a look at our Voile Lacté and Crème de Shampoo.
Why is conditioner essential?
1. Deep hydration:
Textured hair is often drier due to its curly or frizzy structure, which makes it harder for natural oils to distribute to the scalp. Conditioner helps to deeply moisturise, compensating for this natural dryness and preventing breakage and split ends.
2. Makes detangling easier:
Curls and frizz can easily tangle, especially after shampooing. Conditioner softens hair, making it easier to detangle and reducing the risk of breakage when styling.
3. Strengthens and protects:
A good conditioner often contains proteins and nourishing agents that strengthen the hair fibre, add a protective layer and protect against external aggressors such as heat and styling tools.
4. Adds shine:
Textured hair can sometimes look dull. Conditioner smoothes the hair cuticle, improving light reflection and adding natural shine.
The different uses of conditioner
1. Traditional conditioning:
After shampooing, conditioner is applied to the lengths and ends to moisturise and soften. It is then rinsed out to leave hair supple and easy to style.
2. Co-washing:
Co-washing, or ‘conditioner washing’, involves using a conditioner instead of shampoo to gently cleanse the hair. This is particularly useful for textured hair, which can be sensitive to the foaming agents in traditional shampoos. Co-washing cleanses hair while maintaining moisture.
3. Hair mask:
Some conditioners can also be used as hair masks by leaving them on for longer for a more intensive treatment. This provides deep hydration and strengthens the hair.
4. Leave-in conditioner :
In some cases, a lightweight conditioner can be used as a leave-in conditioner to provide continuous moisture without weighing hair down. This helps control frizz and maintain defined curls throughout the day.
What is the ‘No Poo’ method?
The ‘No Poo’ (no shampoo) method rejects the use of traditional shampoos, which can contain sulphates and other harsh cleansing agents. For those who practise No Poo, conditioner becomes the alternative of choice for cleansing hair without dehydrating it, instead of using shampoo. It’s synonymous with co-wash.
Gentle cleansing: No Poo uses conditioners or gentle products to remove impurities while preserving the hair’s natural oils.
Moisturisation and care: Conditioner plays a crucial role in providing the necessary moisture, particularly in the absence of shampoos.
