Do you often worry about the condition of your hair? Do you feel your hair is dull, frizzy and lacks luster? Well, you are a large population of the people who think their hair lacks shine, bounce and overall good health. The main problem with most people is that they are not aware about the correct regimen for proper maintenance of hair. Hair like any part of your body needs proper and adequate taking care of and once in a while a wee bit of pampering as well.

One of the main factors which comes into play in the proper grooming and maintenance of hair is the conditioning of hair. The next two questions which arise in the mind are; ‘what is conditioning’? and ‘how to use conditioner?’ To answer the first question; conditioning of hair is the provision of adequate amount of nutrition and moisture to your hair. Conditioning is very pertinent for proper hair maintenance regimen.

Coming to the next question of how to use conditioner? The perfect way of using conditioner is after shampooing your hair. Once you are done with rinsing out the shampoo, squeeze out the excess water in your hair by scrunching the hair. The next step is to take the conditioner in your palm and start applying on the hair from the tips upwards. Most people make one mistake here; they apply the conditioner to the scalp along with the hair. The scalp does not require conditioning and it is only your hair downwards which needs it. If you apply too much conditioner to your hair, you can have problems of an oily scalp and for those who already have an oily scalp it will make matters worse.

After you apply the conditioner to the hair downwards, you must leave it on for 2 to 3 minutes. Once this is done, rinse out the conditioner with cool water. Using water which is hot will lead to weakening of the hair which will result in the hair breaking easily. Also it is a good idea to comb through your hair with a wide tooth comb after application of conditioner. This will you will ensure the conditioner has reached each and every hair on your head. Another precaution to take after conditioning is never to rub your hair and head with a towel in order o dry it. The best way to dry wet hair with the least amount of damage is to just gently squeeze out the water with a towel. Also never comb or brush wet hair. Wet hair is at its vulnerable best and if you comb or tug at it will give way to breakage.

How to use conditioner is one question which a lot of people are asking today and if they were made aware about the dos and don’ts of using a hair conditioner then a lot of their hair problems could be solved.
