Should we really use hair conditioners?

Hair conditioner is something that most of us use nearly every day but do we all know the effects it has on our hair.

We tend to use hair conditioner due to its positive effects on our hair and some of the most commonly known benefits of using hair conditioners include having softer hair with less frizz and tangling, and better moisture retention.

When we use a shampoo, it opens the cuticles of our hair, therefore afterwards, it is necessary for those cuticles to close. This is one thing a hair conditioner is for as it closes the cuticles of your hair as the cuticles should not be open.

However, the problem with using hair conditioner is that many chemicals are used to coat your hair to make it silkier but too many chemicals can damage your hair. Many people prefer not to use conditioners and find other ways to make their hair healthier and silkier.

An alternative way of still achieving the positive effects of using a hair conditioner is to make your own homemade conditioner using natural ingredients however this can be time consuming and since everyone prefers different products to apply on their hair, some do not use any hair conditioner at all.

In general it does not matter too much whether you use hair conditioners or not, instead it is important that you know what is the best and most suited way for you to keep your hair healthy.
