Shampoo

how does hair conditioner works? 1. As most of us are aware, conditioners are meant to moisturise hair from the roots to the tip. They are made up of different types of softening and moisturising ingredients that make hair shinier, softer and glossier. Primary ingredients include surfactants, moisturisers, glossers, detanglers, thermal protectors, lubricants and essential fatty oils. 2. The ingredients such as fatty oils and moisturisers lend a coating of humectants to the hair to lock the moisture in thereby, preventing the strands from drying out. They also attempt to keep the hair soft and healthy amidst extreme pollution and adverse weather conditions. 3. The detanglers and glossers present in the hair conditioner coat the hair with silicone polymers for reflecting light and providing the hair with a shiny appearance. 4. Conditioners also contain thermal protectors. Therefore, they help in protecting the hair from damages that are associated with curling irons and blow drying. Most often, stylists advise people to apply a layer of conditioner before resorting to blow drying or curling to minimise the damage. 5. Conditioners have a distinct role to play with respect to the type of hair it is used for. For example, conditioners that add volume are used on thin and limp hair to make them appear fuller; deep and smoothening conditioners are used on coarse dry hair to soften it and make it appear manageable. Therefore, the process by which a hair conditioner works depends on the type of conditioner you choose for your specific hair
