Living in the Gulf region with its hot and sunny climate can take a toll on your hair. Sun exposure, dry air, and frequent use of air conditioning can all contribute to dry, brittle hair. Here's where using a hair conditioner becomes especially important.
Conditioner helps replenish moisture lost due to these environmental factors, leaving your hair feeling soft, manageable, and looking its best.
Here at Mudra Ayurveda, we believe in harnessing the power of natural ingredients for healthy hair.
In this blog post, we'll explore the proper way to use hair conditioner, infused with the wisdom of Ayurveda.
Can We Apply a Conditioner on Scalp?
While conditioner nourishes hair, it's generally not recommended for the scalp. The scalp naturally produces oils to keep itself lubricated. Applying conditioner there can weigh down hair and make it appear greasy.
Focus on applying conditioner from the mid-lengths to the ends of your hair, where it's most needed.
How is Hair Conditioner Used?
Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use hair conditioner effectively:
1. Cleanse Your Hair: Begin by washing your hair with a gentle, Ayurvedic shampoo suitable for your hair type. This removes dirt, buildup, and prepares your hair for the conditioner.
2. Apply the Conditioner: Dispense a coin-sized amount of conditioner into your palms. For thicker or longer hair, adjust the quantity accordingly.
3. Target the Ends: Gently massage the conditioner onto the mid-lengths and ends of your hair. Avoid applying it directly to the scalp.
4. Detangle and Condition: Use a wide-tooth comb to distribute the conditioner evenly and detangle your hair. This allows the conditioner to penetrate each strand.
5. Let it Rest: Leave the conditioner on your hair for 1-2 minutes. This allows the product time to work its magic and infuse your hair with moisture.
Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the conditioner out completely with lukewarm or cool water. This ensures no residue remains, which can weigh down your hair.
How Long to Condition Hair?
Most conditioners require you to leave them on for 1-2 minutes. However, some deep conditioners designed for intense nourishment might require a longer application time (as specified on the product label).
By following these simple steps and including Ayurvedic principles, you can ensure your hair conditioner delivers optimal results.
