Hair Conditioners

It is not enough to style the hair and keep it clean. There is a need for conditioning the hair, which cannot be ignored. Without condition, one can never expect a good quality of hair. Conditioning has to be done regularly and made a part of the beauty ritual.

Conditioners, as the name denotes, help in putting the hair in a good condition. They could be the deep penetrating types, which penetrate the cortex for longer lasting results and should be used only occasionally for extremely damaged hair. They actually open the cuticle to let moisture or protein get into the cortex, which is the middle part of a hair and gives strength to the hair. There are two basic types of deep penetrating treatments: moisturising and protein supplementation. The moisturising treatment consists of putting moisture in the hair, softening it and adding bounce to it. Protein treatment rebuilds strength in hair and adds protein to the cortex in order to bring back the lost elasticity. This treatment is generally given before a perm or a hair colouring in order to get the hair back to a good shape.
