What are the differences between conditioners?
LEAVE-IN
- Do not rinse out.
- Lightweight & and continuously conditions over time.
- Helps to further detangle, reduce frizz, & maintain moisture.
- Attracts to negatively charged areas to fill the voids (damaged areas).
- Serves as a barrier around the hair to protect when detangling & styling.
DEEP CONDITIONER
- Rinse after a short time.
- Hair treatment that should be used every week or two.
- Stabilizes pH after shampooing.
- Rebuilds compromised protein structure within the hair shafts
- Needed for damaged and chemically damaged hair.
- Increase hair elasticity.
REGULAR CONDITIONER
- Rinse out
- Formulated with heavy moisturizers & conditioning agents
- Is used to stabilize the pH of your hair after shampooing.
- Helps detangle and add shine.
Final Notes
- Deep conditioners and regular conditioners should not be used as leave-in conditioners.
- Buildup will occur and this will lead to weigh-down curls and damage.
- Deep Conditioners can be rotated with regular conditioners but should not be used more than once a week.
- They contain oils and this can also lead to weighing down curls.
