Hair Conditioners Aware

Using Hair Conditioners On Thinning Hair • Conditioners efficiently restore moisture that has been removed through washing. • They contain many of the same ingredients that are found in shampoos, but in different concentrations. • They effectively flatten the cuticle on the hair shaft and de-tangle the hair, which: • makes brushing easier. • creates smoother texture. • improves overall manageability. • reduces static electricity by • adding positively-charged ions on the hair shafts. • neutralizing the negative electric charges on the shaft that are generated following brushing. • They are particularly useful for dry or damaged hair. • Overuse of conditioners can result in a flattened, limp or oily appearance. • Apply only to the hair and not the scalp. • The cationic polymers found in conditioners are attracted to the damaged cuticle in the hair shaft, which results in the protection and repair of these areas by filling in the defects. Damage to the hair shaft can be caused by: • overdrying • vigorous towel-drying • washing long hair too frequently (e.g., more than once per day) • excessive combing and brushing • chemical treatments (e.g., permanent waving, bleaching, dyeing, straightening) • over-exposure to sun and chlorine. Anyone using heat generating devices or chemical-based products for hair curling or straightening should be encouraged to carry out a regular conditioning regimen. Applications that provide lubrication can somewhat reduce the damage and brittle texture that is associated with some of the chemicals that are used. http://www.nioxinhairproducts.net
