Proper way to smooth, shiny hair: The comb in conditioner trick

Many people regularly use conditioner after every hair wash, but the results are often not as expected – the hair is not smooth and shiny. The cause may be improper application. However, there is a method recommended by hair enthusiasts that can improve hair condition.

Our hair is exposed to various types of damage, such as during dyeing, especially bleaching. The high temperature from using a straightener, curling iron, or even a hairdryer without heat protection products also has a negative impact. As a result, hair becomes dry and lacks shine.

We then resort to conditioners and masks, but what if these products don't work? Here is a method that can revolutionize hair care.

Most people apply conditioner by rubbing it into their hair with their hands. This is a mistake! To have healthy and shiny hair, it's worth making a small change: comb the conditioner into your hair instead of rubbing it.

For this purpose, it is best to use a comb or a large, flat "paddle brush." Apply the conditioner to your hair and, with your head turned upside down, comb it through. Remember to avoid the roots of your hair, as they may become flat and greasy faster.

The process of combing in the conditioner should take about 2-3 minutes. Then, it should be left on the hair for another five minutes. After that time, rinse the product out.

This method "forces" the nourishing and caring ingredients into the hair structure, smoothing it and closing the cuticles, making the hair soft and pleasant. It's a simple trick that can significantly improve the look of your hair.

In summer, our hair is exposed to many harmful factors, such as UV radiation, salty water, or chlorine from pools. How can you effectively care for it to keep it healthy and shiny? It is worth using cosmetics with UV filters and wearing head coverings like hats or scarves. Remember also to use moisturizing conditioners and masks regularly.

Salty and chlorinated water can further dry out hair, so after every swim, it is worth thoroughly rinsing it with clean water. Then, a deeply moisturizing serum will coat the hair with a protective layer. This is especially important to prevent moisture loss.
