The 3 Types of Conditioners - Know the Difference!
Remember the days when you applied conditioner to your hair, combed or brushed it through and then rinsed it off? Quick fast, right? Well... It doesn't work that way anymore. 😂
Let's talk about the 3 types of conditioners:
- Rinse-out conditioner (usually containing silicones)
- Deep conditioner (DC)
- Leave-in conditioner
Each of these 👆 serve their own purpose.
------------------------------------------
💦 Let's start with the rinse-out: We probably don't even own these anymore... moving on.
------------------------------------------
🥑 Deep conditioners ("DC's"): These are our hair's "vegetables", as they contain the nutrients that feed our hair. This step is crucial in nourishing our hair after a wash. It helps to keep the hair moisturised.
------------------------------------------
🧴 Leave-in conditioners: These are our hair's "lotions" / moisturisers. If you don't moisturise your skin after a shower, you look ASHY! The same concept applies to your hair. Apply the lotion it needs to stay hydrated. It's not a step you should be skipping! No curl cream or gel will give you what a leave-in conditioner does. 🙅🏽♀️
Think of the curl creams and gels as the “make-up” for your hair.
They're not entirely nutritionally beneficial, but adds to the overall look. Leave-in conditioner is the primer before applying your make-up.
If you suffer from dry hair and you’re not using a leave-in conditioner, we suggest you give it a shot for the next month and see if it makes a difference.
