by: Salon StyleGet Exclusive DEALS TO YOUR INBOX
Do you ever wonder whether the conditioner you are using is the best one for your hair? With so many to choose from, using the wrong one won't leave your feeling and looking its best. We're here to help you make an informed decision on which type is right for you.
Conditioner helps restore moisture as well closing and sealing the cuticle layer of your hair after washing. It also helps reduces tangling and frizz, increases shine, and helps make your hair more manageable. Conditioner is important for your hair, but there are so many to choose from. You won’t find a conditioner that will work well on all hair types. Choose a shampoo based on your needs and scalp and a conditioner based more on the ends of your hair. Here's a brief rundown on conditioners to suit the most common hair types.
People with oily, flat hair, read this...
If you are used to having oily hair, you may tend to skip conditioner all together, however some girls find that not using conditioner makes your hair feel even worse. The right conditioner can actually help with an oily hair situation. Avoid conditioners that are hydrating and moisturising as they tend to have oils and can cause your hair to become heavy and appear limp. Keep your eye out for volumizing, strengthening, light and balancing conditioners - these will tend to be less moisturising, therefore not producing too much sebum. When using conditioner keep the product away from your scalp. Only apply to the ends and be sure to spend extra time rinsing. We love the DeLorenzo Control Conditioner for oily scalp and hair.
People with Damaged, Dry, Brittle or Dull Hair, read this...
If you have dry, damaged, or even brittle hair it is important to choose a conditioner that will help prevent future damage. Look for strengthening, fortifying, and moisturising conditioners. These conditioners will give your hair the moisture and protein it needs. Deep repair treatments and conditioners are incredible for people with dry hair that has been damaged. One of our all-time favourites is the Redken All Soft Conditioner.
Thin, flat
For people with thin hair that hangs flat, straight down your face with no hope of keeping a curl, the conditioner for you is a thickening formula. A weightless conditioner scientifically formulated to create a thickening effect without dragging the hair down helping it to appear thicker. Alterna Caviar Multiplying Volume Conditioner great, without weighing your hair down.
Curly
For people with curly hair and tight little ringlets your hair is often doused in dryness. Try opting for a deeply moisturising conditioner to end the deprivation of moisture. A conditioner that will instil a tonne of moisture into your hair keeping it bouncy and making it look extremely healthy. One of our favourites at the moment is the NAK Aromas Curl Conditioner designed specifically to bring out the best in your curls.
Wavy
Girls with wavy hair need a lightweight conditioner that still provides moisture. Being lightweight ensures that the hair is not weighed down. Davines Naturaltech Well Being Conditioner adds moisture without being too heavy.
We hope this insight will help you find the conditioner that suits your hair!
