I've been asked many times, "Can you put conditioner as a leave in?" This is a great question and it is one that I get asked often. The short answer to this question is yes. Conditioner added to water when you shower or bathe can leave your hair shiny and healthy. It also can add moisture, which is a good thing when styling.
But what about all those conditioners you bought with the tag "left in" that you used to put on every morning before you got out of bed? Can you really put conditioner as a leave in? The short answer is yes, you can. Even if it says "left in" on the bottle. Just be sure not to put it in your mouth.
How do you know when to use conditioner? You use it! Conditioners are a great way to keep your hair hydrated and to protect it from the elements. Just as you would use a leave in shampoo when you don't have time for a full wash, conditioners work well when you don't have time to style your hair. I use conditioner before I put my hair in curlers or in rolls, but I do use it sometimes to add volume to my hair and to give a somewhat defined shine to it.
There are two ways you can take care of your conditioner. First, you can pour a bit of the conditioner into your palm and mix it together. If you pour it into a cup, stir it well and then drink it. The formula will not foam too much and leave you with a rich lather.
Second, you can just pour the conditioner into your hair and leave it to sit. If you like the smell of it, that is okay. Sit with your head at an angle and leave it on all night. If you want to be able to run your fingers through your hair while you condition it, that is fine too.
What if your condition gets dirty? First of all, you should never re-purchase a conditioner that has come off of the hair. It is too important to leave on the hair. If you spill the conditioner on your pillow, clean it up right away and start over with fresh conditioner.
How do you know when to leave the conditioner in? If you feel that it is getting really sticky, or if you see that it is soaking wet, you should take it out and put it in the refrigerator. If you leave it in the water, you will have to wait until it has cooled down. Hot water could cause damage to the conditioner.
When can you put conditioner as a leave in? If you want to style your hair, you should definitely condition each time you style. Even if you are going out to eat, you should condition after every meal. If you like to swim, you should condition before and after swimming. The best way to find out the answer to the question of can you put conditioner as a leave in is to try it out for yourself.
What is the best product for you to use to condition? The answer to the question of which products you should use is really just as wide-ranging as the question of what can you put in your hair. You can choose from a basic conditioner to a heavy conditioner. There are also lotions, moisturizers, and sun block. It depends on your lifestyle, and on the kind of hair you have.
Do you have short hair or long hair? Do you want to have short hair all day or the night? Do you want to grow your hair long? The answer to all of these questions will help you decide what kind of leave to use. You can grow your hair long by using the right kind of leave in. You should not be too rough with your locks, though.
Can you put conditioner as a leave in? The answer is yes, if you want to. If you leave your conditioner in for more than ten minutes, you are damaging it. You can damage your hair if you leave it in for too long, too. It is best to choose the amount of time to put your leave in, based on how often you wash your hair. The instructions that come with your conditioner should tell you how long to leave it in.
What about hair styling products? Can you put conditioner as a leave in? You may be able to, but you may end up leaving your product in your hair too long, because of the tangles. This is because many styling products can leave a residue in your hair, making it hard to get rid of when you rinse out your hair. If you want to take your styling products off, you might consider detangling your hair before you put conditioner in.
