You should always apply conditioner after washing your hair with shampoo. Shampoo strips your hair of its natural oils, and conditioner helps to restore the moisture balance. However, the frequency of applying conditioner depends on your hair type and how oily it gets. Some people may only need to shampoo and condition their hair two to three times a week, while others may only need to do so once a week.
Here are some additional tips for using conditioner:
- Apply conditioner only to the ends of your hair. This is because the ends of your hair are the oldest and most damaged, and they need the most moisture.
- Leave the conditioner in your hair for a few minutes before rinsing it out. This will give the conditioner time to penetrate your hair shaft and do its job.
- Use a deep conditioner once a week. This will help to deeply nourish and hydrate your hair.
