Review - Hair Conditioners

Using conditioner for dry hair can be difficult depending on the texture and length of the hair. First you need to buy the right conditioner, then you have to know how to use it. You may even need two different types of conditioner on one head of hair, especially with very long hair. This is because long hair has at least 3 different textures of hair. The hair at the scalp, middle and ends are all different and have different levels of porosity.

This means that the hair at the scalp is the healthy hair, so it isn't as porous as the hair in the middle; and the hair in the middle isn't as porous as the hair at the end. In other words, the oldest hair is the most damaged or dry, so it soaks up anything you put on it.

This is basic information that many people don't know and is why they continue to waste money and time using wrong products, the wrong way. Since the hair closest to the scalp is very healthy, it needs very little or no conditioner, yet that is exactly where most people put the majority of the hair conditioner.

The best way is to rub the conditioner in palm of hands, then run it through the hair from middle to ends combing the hair with fingers. Once this is done press conditioner into ends of the hair gently with fingertips. Using conditioner for dry hair correctly takes time and care.

If the hair is very damaged and dry, then you need to first detangle it, then comb conditioner through to the ends. Rinse and then spray a leave-in conditioner, especially if you use a blow dryer and curling iron. You should also use either mouse or gel as a styling aid as well for thermal protection of the hair.

When it comes to conditioner for dry hair, quality really does matter. This is true for shampoo as well, however the styling aids don't matter as much. I use GNatural's moisturizing Well-To-Do shampoo, and follow it up with the GNatural Breeze Conditioner (I love the peppermint tingle on my scalp!), and then the GNatural Deep N Conditioner, which detangles my hair and adds body and sheen. For thermal protection when I blow dry, my styling aid of choice is the GNatural Hair and Scalp conditioner. It protects my hair by sealing the moisture inside my hair shaft.

As mentioned above, long hair needs more care than shorter hair. Short hair doesn't get the chance to get old, it gets cut off, therefore, it's usually healthy, unless you do a lot of chemical damage, such as bleaching or double chemical services like perm and color.

The main reason I recommend professional shampoos and conditioners from GNatural is because I know and trust the quality. Many conditioners use wax to add shine to hair. Over time the wax build up makes hair heavy and lifeless. In addition, when you apply color or perm it's difficult to penetrate the wax and makes them less effective.

Even if you don't do chemical services who wants dull lifeless hair? It's also a good idea to alternate shampoos and conditioners as the hair gets used to them and doesn't respond anymore. That's why when people first use a new product their hair responds so well. The GNatural product line includes 6 different shampoos and 10 different conditioners.

If you use conditioner for dry hair every day then it's important that you know how to do it or else you pay by having bad hair days! From shampoo to deep conditioning, you're guaranteed to enjoy using GNatural herbal-based products no matter if your hair is dry, normal or oily.
