What Does Conditioner Do?

Conditioner is a product designed to replenish the hair's natural moisture after cleansing with shampoo. If you've ever wondered how to use conditioner or if there’s a right and wrong way to add conditioner to your hair routine, there are several tips to keep your hair feeling its best. First, thoroughly rinse the shampoo from your hair; residue can weigh hair down and leave it looking dull. Next, try to remove as much moisture from the hair as possible before applying Aveda conditioner in long, sweeping strokes from the mid-lengths to ends. Leave light conditioner on for two minutes and deep conditioner on for three minutes, then rinse. Leave-in conditioner is recommended if you need an extra boost of hydration and nourishment.

Should You Condition Every Day?

“Should I condition my hair every day?” you ask. It depends on your existing hair care routine. Those with dry, damaged, or coarse hair might consider using a leave-in conditioner on the days they don't wash and condition hair to protect it against damage and keep it feeling soft. If you have hair that gets greasy easily, consider avoiding products containing silicones, and condition hair no more than every other day. Fine or flyaway hair can benefit from using a specially formulated lightweight conditioner after every wash.

What Does Leave-in Conditioner Do?

Before explaining what it does, what is leave-in conditioner? In short, it's a product you apply to damp hair and before using styling products and hot tools. Rather than replacing your conditioner entirely, it's an extra step that's designed to provide additional benefits like detangling, moisturizing and nourishing hair. Leave-in conditioners can be spray formulas for easy spritzing or cream formulas you apply with your hands and brush/comb in. Aveda has a leave-in conditioner for all hair types, including nutriplenish ™ daily moisturizing treatment to melt moisture into dry hair and nutriplenish ™ leave-in conditioner for all hair types.

Best Conditioner for Dry Hair?

Conditioner for dry hair is an essential step. People with dry or damaged hair can benefit from a nourishing conditioner to replenish moisture, protect hair from damage and reinvigorate dry hair. For example, Aveda moisturizing conditioners, like nutriplenish ™ conditioner light moisture gently hydrates hair that's prone to dryness, while nutriplenish ™ conditioner deep moisture contain a superfood-powered nourishing blend to help bring dry hair back to life.

Is Conditioner Good for Your Hair?

Conditioner locks in moisture while softening hair and making it easier to manage. You'll need to customize the products you use depending on your hair's texture and type; try the botanical repair™ line for damaged hair or invati ultra advanced ™ thickening conditioner - rich for fine or thinning hair.
