Hair conditioners

Hair conditioners are a beauty, protection, moistening, a healthy look and easy combing in one bottle. You should not take this tool as a panacea for all possible problems with the hair, but it can become a reliable helper in the care of hair, if you choose it correctly.

Before you make a purchase, you must dot all the fundamental letters of the alphabet of beauty. And the most important thing here is to understand what air conditioning is, what is its difference from other means.

Since by their properties, conditioners are related to other care products, they are often put in the same line with mousses, foams, fluids or they do not differ at all from hair balm. In fact, the conditioner is an antistatic agent that “sticks together” keratin scales that opened during shampooing, thereby protecting the hair from the effects of harmful factors, keeping moisture inside the rod, making the hair surface smooth and shiny. Smoothness, in turn, ensures easy combing, and the sticking hairs and fluffiness are tamed with an antistatic agent.

The fundamental difference between a conditioner and a balm is that it creates a protective film, as if enveloping each hair in individual protection, while the balm is designed to improve the overall condition of the hair due to the high content of nutrients and vitamins. The balm also washes away shampoo residues, gives shine, restores the pH balance of the scalp and can affect the hair follicles. The conditioner in most cases cannot be applied to the scalp - the curls will quickly become heavy and dirty in appearance.

• Conditioner conditioner

Conditioners are the most common. This conditioner is designed for dry, naughty, tangled hair. Apply to wet clean hair for a couple of minutes, without affecting the roots, rinsed with cool water. The result: smooth, moist curls, easy combing, increased resistance to traumatic factors and damage.

• Express air conditioning

Wand for those who always do not have enough time for the beauty procedure. Convenient in that it can be applied to wet and dry hair, does not require rinsing. Its main task is to restore the damaged structure with subsequent protection from ultraviolet radiation and other harmful factors.

The express conditioner nourishes moisture with dry hair, strengthens brittle, seals split ends, and adds extra volume with a thin film due to a protective film.

• Specialized

It is an air conditioner whose action is focused on one problem. This group of products includes conditioners for colored hair, to increase the volume of hair, for split ends and tangles, for straightening, thickening thin hairs, curling, styling, growth, conditioners for dryness and dandruff.

• Cleaning

“Purifying conditioning” or “co-hairs” is an innovation in hair care. Having such a tool, you can do without shampoo, because the air conditioner takes over its functions.At the same time, an innovative product does not belong to the deceptive “2 in 1” technology, since it does not contain soap extract and coarse cleansing components that neutralize the effect of the conditioner. Washing is done carefully, without washing away the natural fatty film that protects the hair.

• Professional

Such a product is distinguished by hypoallergenicity, deep impact, protective properties, delicate texture, qualitative composition, which really treats trichological problems, and does not mask them. Mostly used in salons or appointed by a trichologist.

• Two phase

As the name implies, the tool consists of two phases. The first contains active components that restore the hair structure from the inside, the second - conditioners that protect them from the outside. Before use, the bottle must be shaken well, so that the phases are mixed together until homogeneous.

• In the form of cream

Cream conditioner provides a delicate care, thanks to its delicate texture. It makes the hair extremely soft, shiny and lush, moisturizes, compensates for the lack of keratin, protects. Curls are pliable for styling and combing.

It is a mistake to think that the conditioner is intended only for the care of women's hair. Soft children's hairs are also prone to tangling, especially for small princesses, and hard men's hair often need softening agents. In addition, many representatives of the strong half of humanity are currently paying attention to their appearance: they grow such tails that any girl would envy.

Air conditioners are rich and varied in content ingredients. Which option to stop the selection depends on the source data and the desired effect.

For example, children's air conditioner will consist exclusively of gentle components: water, glycerin, panthenol, citric acid and others. Funds for children without fail are tested for safety, guaranteeing gentle care without tears and allergies. Children's air conditioner gives softness and easy combing of knots and matted strands; Often has a pleasant caramel smell to appeal to babies, the soothing scent of lemon balm or lavender for bedtime use.

Air conditioning for adults, especially for women, will differ significantly in composition and care properties. They are:

• With herbal ingredients. Common conditioner with acacia in the composition. The pods of this plant contain saponins, which gently clean the curls, keeping the hair keratin fiber and not irritating the skin. Ideal for normal hair.
• With oils. Most often presented in the form of a two-phase product, so that an overabundance of the oil phase does not make it heavier and does not pollute the hair. If the conditioner without oils is not suitable because of excessive dryness of the hair, you should pay attention to the product with argan oil. It moisturizes dry and brittle strands, renews them and returns a healthy look, provides thermal protection, facilitates combing.
• With vitamins. Vitamins of group B, and also universal assistants - A and E, are irreplaceable for maintenance of beauty. Are convenient in a format of rinsing agents and indelible fluids.
• With construction and auxiliary substances. These include proteins in the form of keratin, hyaluronic complex, antistatic. Choosing such a tool, it is necessary to pay attention to the presence of silicones and parabens - they should be abandoned, giving preference to natural components.

Rinse. It is accepted to apply on wet, slightly dried hair. You can blot them with a towel so that the product is absorbed and not drained over wet strands. Conditioner-rinse hold on the hair for no longer than 5 minutes, then rinse with cool water. Can be used for hair extensions.

Due to the fact that the tint conditioner contains coloring pigments, it permanently retains the brightness and liveliness of the new color. Also suitable for unpainted hair care.

The result will be better if you use a tint balm with shampoo to maintain color after dyeing.

Indelible. Not all products imply the use of a standard scheme: wash the head first, then apply the product and rinse after a few minutes. There is a large number of air conditioners that do not require to perform the last action from the list. The order of their application is as follows:

1. wash your hair with shampoo;
2. rinse;
3. blot with a towel;
4. apply the product;
