Conditioner primarily restores moisture to the hair after shampooing, making it softer, smoother, and more manageable. It also helps to detangle hair and reduce frizz, leaving it looking healthier and shinier.

Conditioner is a hair care product formulated with moisturizing ingredients like oils, silicones, and emollients. These ingredients coat the hair shaft, replenishing lost moisture and smoothing the cuticle for improved texture and appearance.

The four main types of conditioners are rinse-out, leave-in, deep conditioners (or hair masks), and clarifying conditioners. Rinse-out conditioners are used after shampooing and rinsed out. Leave-in conditioners are applied after showering and left in the hair. Deep conditioners provide intense hydration. Clarifying conditioners remove buildup.

After shampooing, apply conditioner from mid-lengths to ends, avoiding the scalp unless directed otherwise. Allow the conditioner to sit for the recommended time (usually 2-5 minutes) before rinsing thoroughly with cool water for optimal shine and manageability.
