Solid Conditioner
I can recommend this conditioner for all hair types. I have thin straight hair, my daughter has curly hair, my son had thicker straight hair. We all use it and love it. My friends and family who have tested this product all were happy with it.
Like the shampoo, I decided to use lavender essential oil as the perfume because it has the least allergens from all the essential oils that I know of. It will not make your hair smell like lavender as I am not a big fan of strong fragrance on cosmetics.
Washing the hair with shampoo and warm water opens the cuticle layer of the hair. This removes dirt, sebum and styling product residue. So far so good. The solid conditioner is used to prevent the hair from drying out afterwards. It ensures that the cuticle layer closes again and a nourishing layer/sheath is applied to the hair. The conditioner then makes the hair smoother, easier to comb through and provides an extra portion of care thanks to the particularly strengthening ingredients.
To use the conditioner, first wash your hair with shampoo, then wring it a bit. Wet the conditioner bar and slide it along the mid-length and ends of your hair. Work the product through your hair with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb. Leave it in for a couple of minutes to work its magic. I then rub the bar between my hands until I get a film on my fingers and then work on top of the head, trying to avoid the scalp. It is important to apply your conditioner bar from the mid-length of your hair to the ends, taking care to avoid the roots entirely. The glands that produce sebum (oil) are located right next to the roots of your hair, so applying a conditioner bar to your roots could weigh them down and make your scalp look greasy.
Then again, if a dry scalp is to blame for your brittle, straw-like locks, applying a conditioner bar to the roots could be a great way to give your hair and scalp the moisture it so desperately craves. Do what feels right for your scalp and your hair type!
It is the equivalent of three bottles of conditioner.
