Conditioning Your Hair
Conditioning Your Hair By Ken Li Conditioning your hair is an essential part of the process to achieving shiny happy hair. A conditioner smooths the outer cells (the cuticle) and therefore avoids individual hairs tangling. The added benefit is that conditioners align the cuticle scales and therefore make it feel softer to the touch and encourage shine. The three main textures are: fine, medium and thick. For thick-haired girls there is rarely such a thing as over conditioning but fine-haired girls often have a dilemma with conditioners for fear of losing body in their hair. This is likely if the conditioner feels heavy. Instead opt for lightweight, gel or spray-based conditioners rather than rich creams. Body is reduced when the offending conditioner is not rinsed out of the hair thoroughly. This is why leave-in conditioners only tend to be good for girls with thick hair. Most importantly, conditioners put moisture back into it, so that it looks and feels nourished. Never underestimate...
