Apply conditioner primarily to the mid-lengths and ends of your hair.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Avoid the Scalp: Conditioner is designed to moisturize the hair shaft, not the scalp. Applying it to your scalp can lead to buildup, greasy hair, and potentially clogged pores.
-
Mid-lengths to Ends: These sections of your hair are generally the driest and most damaged. Applying conditioner here helps to restore moisture, smooth the cuticle, and prevent breakage. Concentrate on the ends, as they are the oldest and most vulnerable part of your hair.
-
Application Technique: After shampooing, gently squeeze out excess water from your hair. Apply a coin-sized amount of conditioner (adjust depending on hair length and thickness) to your palms, rub them together, and then work the conditioner through the mid-lengths and ends of your hair. Ensure even distribution.
-
Massage Gently: Gently massage the conditioner into your hair to help it absorb effectively. This also helps detangle knots.
-
Leave-in Time: Follow the instructions on your conditioner bottle for the recommended leave-in time (usually 2-5 minutes).
-
Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse your hair thoroughly with cool or lukewarm water until all the conditioner is removed.
By following these steps, you can ensure that your hair is properly conditioned, leaving it soft, smooth, and manageable without weighing it down or causing scalp issues.
