Have you heard that conditioner shouldn't touch your scalp? Time to rethink that! This saying usually depends on what kind of conditioner you are using. If you use a natural conditioner, there's no reason to keep those amazing, nourishing ingredients away from your scalp. In fact, it can be beneficial. Healthy, shiny hair starts with deep hydration. Without proper moisture, hair becomes dry, prone to split ends, and can quickly appear dull or greasy. Often, the root cause of unruly hair is the lack of proper nourishment from conditioners, hair masks, and other care products.

However, it’s essential to ensure that your conditioner is free from harmful ingredients like silicones, which can weigh hair down and don’t belong in your scalp—or your strands.

Conditioner is meant to be used after shampooing or a hair mask treatment. One common mistake is applying it all over your hair, including the roots. Conditioner is best applied to the lengths of your hair! Applying it to your scalp can lead to greasy hair and irritation.

Start by taking a small amount in your hand. This helps ensure an even distribution throughout your hair, rather than applying directly onto your hair. Adjust the amount based on your hair length—often, you need less than you think.

Next, activate the conditioner by rubbing it between your palms before working it into your hair's mid-lengths and ends. Let it sit for a minute or two before rinsing thoroughly. To save water, consider turning off the tap while the conditioner is working its magic. A great tip is to gently detangle your hair with a comb while the conditioner is still in, ensuring smoother strands.
