Knowing how to apply conditioner correctly is key to maximizing moisture and shine for Type 1 and Type 2 Hair. Follow these simple steps for optimal results:

Step 1: Prepare Your Hair (Thorough Rinsing)

First, ensure your hair is completely clean. After you have finished shampooing, make sure that your hair is thoroughly rinsed. You want to wash away all shampoo residue before introducing the conditioner.

Step 2: Measure and Distribute the Product

To avoid weighing down Type 1 or Type 2 Hair, use caution with the amount. Apply only a small amount of conditioner to the palm of your hand. Rub both hands together to evenly coat them with the product.

Step 3: Apply the Conditioner Strategically

The application technique is important for even coverage. With your palms lying flat, apply the conditioner to your hair. Remember that conditioner is meant primarily for the lengths and ends, not the scalp.

Step 4: Massage and Hydrate

Work the product into your strands. Gently massage it in the hair to ensure it coats every strand. For the conditioner to penetrate and hydrate your hair effectively, you must leave it in for at least 1 minute.

Step 5: Final Rinse

After the required time has passed, it’s crucial to remove all the product. Rinse all of the conditioner out completely.

Step 6: Gently Detangle

Once rinsed, handle your hair with care. You should carefully comb hair through. To prevent breakage, always start the detangling process at the ends of your hair.
