We all know just how essential shampoo is for keeping our hair looking its best, but when it comes to the subject of conditioner things are, well, confusing. What is it actually doing? Does it weigh our hair down? Should we only be using it when our hair’s feeling dry? And when we do, does it just go on the ends? So many questions.

• You should use it after every shampoo. A good hair conditioner, like our Daily shine Conditioner, is essential for caring for your hair after you’ve washed it: it makes it feel soft and smooth, helps with detangling and combing, and adds shine.

Is it longer? You might just need to switch to one that suits its state better. Know which conditioner suits your hair type

Do not condition your hair from roots to tips. Hair closer to the scalp is new and healthy. But hair at the ends is older and needs a little extra love to stay healthy and beautiful. That’s why hair needs to be conditioned only from the mid-sections to the ends.
