Conditioner

What does a conditioner do?

A conditioner mainly cares for the outer layer of your hair, also known as the hair cuticles. After shampooing, the hair cuticles are open, leaving your hair vulnerable. Conditioner closes these cuticles again, making your hair smooth, soft and shiny. It also helps against frizz and makes your hair easier to comb. Result? Your hair immediately looks healthier and cared for!

You can also choose conditioners that address a specific problem, such as dry hair, split ends or lifeless hair. Do you use a leave-in conditioner? Then you don't need to rinse out the product, ideal if you want to save time or need an extra conditioning boost. Take a look at our leave-in conditioners.

How to use conditioner?

Using conditioner is very simple. A few steps really do make a world of difference:

1. Wash your hair with shampoo first: This cleanses your hair and opens the cuticles.
2. Apply conditioner to the lengths and ends: Avoid the scalp, as this can make your hair oily faster.
3. Leave in: How long should the conditioner soak in? This varies from product to product, but usually 1-3 minutes is enough. Always read the instructions on the packaging.
4. Rinse well: Are you wondering: should you rinse out conditioner? Yes, with most conditioners you do. Only with a leave-in conditioner, you don't have to.

How often do you use conditioner? This depends on your hair type. For normal hair, two to three times a week is ideal. Do you have dry or damaged hair? Then use it with every wash.

Which conditioner suits your hair type?

Finding the right conditioner starts with your hair type and needs. We would like to help you find the conditioner that suits your hair:

• Dry or damaged hair: Choose a nourishing conditioner, such as products with argan oil or keratin. These intensively repair and moisturise your locks.
• Curls: Use a leave-in conditioner curls to make your curls bouncy and frizz-free.
• Thin or lifeless hair: Go for a conditioner that is not heavy, but gives volume.
• Coloured hair: Protect your hair colour with a conditioner specially designed to fight colour fade.

For men too, there are special conditioners to suit their needs. Take a look and experience the difference for yourself.

Tips for complete hair care

Good hair care does not stop with shampoo and conditioner. For ultimate care, extend your routine with:

• Hair mask: Use this 1-2 times a week for deep care. Apply it after shampoo and before conditioner.
• Leave in conditioner: Perfect for an extra hydrating boost without rinsing out.
• Styling products: Protect your hair from heat and keep your look in shape longer.

The difference between conditioner and conditioner

Wondering what the difference is between a conditioner and a cream rinse? Actually, there is no difference. Both products have the same function, which is to make your hair smooth and soft. Cream rinse is simply an older name that you don't see as often these days.
