PS:This post is for curly and wavy haired gals!!!
A little while back I had read some post or probably it was a product review of a conditioner saying that it made the blogger’s hair straight. That got me thinking a little about the conditioner. Well, that can be a good thing if you are looking for hair straightening but let me clear it out for you that your conditioner is weighing your hair down.
What does a conditioner do?
A conditioner is supposed to undo the harsh effects of the shampoo over the hair. It helps to hydrate, condition and moisturize the hair and keep it soft and shiny. Read more about how conditioner helps avoid split ends.
Conditioner straightens the Hair?
No, a conditioner can never straighten the hair. If you are looking to straighten your hair naturally, you can try using henna or fuller’s earth (multani mitti). Or, you can also go for rebonding or permanent hair straightening which actually damages the hair in a lot of cases.
Anyways, speaking about the conditioner, it can be either of two things:
- you are using excess of conditioner
- you are using the wrong type of conditioner
Excess of Conditioner?
Next time you are in the shower, try reducing the amount of conditioner you are using. Actually, it is true that we tend to over-use the products which can lead to product build-up too.
Are you using the right Conditioner?
Sometimes, we tend to pick up products based on whims instead of finding out if they are really suitable for our hair type. For example, you may pick up a protein based conditioner thinking your hair is dry but your hair needs nothing more than hydration. Such wrong choices can also lead to conditioner not functioning properly or as desired. That’s why it is very essential to find out about your hair type and texture before you go to buy products.

And, also, if you are using the right products for your hair, be sure that they will define your curls and make them stand out. What do you say?
