Why use a conditioner?
For the hair to shine and look healthy, it is essential to follow a shampoo with a conditioner. A conditioner is not oily. It relaxes the cuticles of the hair; adds shine to them and gives a bounce to the hair follicles.
Even people with greasy hair need conditioning
People with greasy hair dread using conditioners because they think it will aggravate their problem of oiliness. But the fact is that even dull, oily hair needs conditioning for f
ullness. However mild conditioners suitable to oily hair conditions should be used.
Right way of applying the conditioner
After the shampoo is washed off & hair is soaking wet, after squeezing out the excess water from the hair, take some conditioner in your palm considering the length of your hair. Conditioner too should be applied end upwards. Don’t put the conditioner on the scalp directly and leave the ends to fend for themselves. Remember always that ends have been dead very long. Treat them gently. Combing the conditioner through the hair is a good procedure to help even out its distribution. If hair is very d
ry, then reapply the conditioner, rinse off and blot the whole head dry with a towel.

Some views on conditioner
There is much debate about what conditioners achieve-some people claim that they do nothing more than make the hair smell nice. In fact, what they do is they make your hair easier to brush and get rid of the problems of static electricity which give rise to fly-away hair. If your hair is extra curly, brittle or bleached then a conditioner is a must.
