You're one product away from your #hairgoals.
Let's settle the title's question immediately: Yes. Conditioner is, when you don't have a short buzzcut, the best way to obtain perfect hair. Let us count the ways.
If we tried to compare skincare and haircare, we'd say shampoo is like a cleanser, and conditioner like moisturiser. Its objective is clear: to protect your hair, strengthen it and therefore making it more beautiful. Suddenly, its use seems essential, doesn’t it? If we look into the point of using conditioner, it seems like shampoo on its own isn't enough to draw superhuman strength from hair just like Samson did.
It all depends on the length of your hair
A very short haircut doesn't necessarily need conditioner. But long hair needs it: the longer the hair, the more at risk it is for damage.Therefore, it needs protection.
You are free to use conditioner on short hair as well, of course: it adds fragrance to your hair on top of making it healthier and more beautiful.
Good hair days
First off, conditioner makes your life simpler: it makes your hair easier to style, especially on the difficult day that follows the wash. If after washing your hair, it tends to be flat or difficult, a conditioner will rectify the situation and leave your hair perfect under any circumstances. Indeed, it usually has a straightening, untangling and anti-static effect, making hair much easier to style and nicer to the look and touch.
Your hair and scalp will be protected
Moreover, conditioner moisturises your scalp, leaving it in better health. You wouldn't think about letting a part of your body down, would you? When you neglect this product from your routine, you're abandoning the scalp which needs your attention too.
Let's look into its name: "conditioner" conditions hair and the hair follicle, getting it ready to face all the hardships coming its way. Importantly, once the shampoo has opened the hair follicle, it allows it to close itself, leaving pollutants out of your hair. It also stops it from drying out, keeping all the nutrients inside. Useful when the cold or the sun threaten to damage it, in other words: all year long.
You won't waste time
Yes, you have to leave conditioner in your hair for 1 to 2 minutes. It is the time it needs to be effective on your hair as well as on your scalp. If you find this too long, start simply by washing your hair and drying it roughly before applying the conditioner. A dollop is enough for short to mid-length hair and you can up the dose a little for long hair. Wash the rest of your body during this time. You will need at least 2 minutes. Then you can rinse off the conditioner that had the time to work.
