Is conditioner really good for your hair?

I've always just used regular shampoo or 2-in-1's but recently I started using Herbal Essences Break's Over strengthening conditioner to hopefully prevent breaks and make my hair smoother. The first couple times I used it my hair turned out extremely soft and silky and light, but recently it seems like it's been weighing my hair down and making it coarser.

I'm thinking maybe the repeat usage is creating too much build-up and leaving film on my hair that's making it look and feel less healthy (and yes, I know the visible hair is already dead).

One thing is that ontop of using a separate conditioner I'm also using a Herbal Essences 2-in-1. Maybe that's too much conditioner at once?

I also think it might be depending on how much of the conditioner I leave in. Does the conditioner work better when you rinse it out for a long time or leave most of it in?

If you've got the answers, please lemme' know! Thanks! :3

Hi!

Well, the point of a shampoo is to clean your scalp, and the point of the conditioner is to make your hair easier to handle, make it smoother and everything. It is not recommended to use 2-in-1`s, and neither to apply conditioner to your scalp or the hair close to it. It will only make your hair more greasy!

And in general, you are not supposed to wash your hair every day. I know many do, but it seriously damages your hair. And the strenghtening conditioner probably has a strong formula..so I would not use it every day because of that.

Use one separate shampoo and one separate conditioner. Don`t wash your hair every day, and do not apply the conditioner to your scalp!

Hopefully your hair will "recover" when following these tips! :)

Good luck! :)

First of all, if you're using a 2-in-1, don't use more conditioner on top of that.

Also, conditioner won't have the right effect if you use it daily. Try using it every 3-4 days or even just once a week. More than that will make it oily and other unwanted things.

Lastly, only leave the conditioner in if it's actually meant to be left in. Otherwise, rinse it out.

Hope this helps!!

It depends on what kind of hair you have.

Most hair doesn't need much conditioner. In fact, most hair doesn't even need to be washed each day!

My advice would be to stop using the seperate conditioner and to wash your hair only once every OTHER day.

You are only supposed to condition (and shampoo) your hair every other day, when you don't condition just wet your hair. The less stuff you put in your hair the healthier it will be and feel. (I know.)
