Through this article, I want to describe the various benefits of hair conditioner. You can also keep your hair smooth and beautiful by using only a hair conditioner.

You may be asking yourself: "Can I Wash My Hair with Just Conditioner?"

The answer is a definite "yes."

Benefits of Washing the Hair with Conditioner

The benefits of washing the hair with conditioner just plain and simple are worth the time and energy it takes to get out of the shower, squeeze some lemon juice on your split ends and glide that goatee across your smooth legs.

Shampoo and conditioner work together to clean and rinse out your hair. The shampoo provides an excellent cleansing formula for your hair and neck, leaving it feeling soft, supple, clean and ready to fall back in place when you close up your eyes.

If you've ever used coarse or rough shampoo or even if you've just rinsed off a wet sponge with a Coarse Soap, then you know how hard this step of your daily routine is. With just conditioner, your hair becomes manageable. It is gentle because the water goes into your scalp where it is most needed and is removed quickly and efficiently through the scalp.

You don't have to leave your hair in a lather for minutes or hours on end to get results. You also don't have to worry about putting your hair on a cold or hot water dispenser for extended periods.

If you've ever left a dirty hairbrush by the sink to dry, then you've felt the heat of a hot shower or a boiling pot of water. This heat makes the hair feel stiff and itchy. That is what exactly happens to your hair when you leave it in a shampoo or conditioner dispenser for too long.

How Often I Use a Hair Conditioner?

Only if you've got a large head and if you suffer from frizzy and curly hair, as in most cases. Otherwise, shampoo is unnecessary, and you could only use a small amount of any hair care product as a rinse. You can use a hair conditioner only two to three times a week. Use a hair care product as directed.

Can I Wash My Hair with Just a Shampoo Only?

Of course, that's the single answer: Yes, you can. But there are other factors to consider before washing your hair with shampoo. Pimples, for example, are caused by sebum or oil, so washing your hair with shampoo might strip away the natural oils that protect the skin.

A Common Misconception:

Your hair exposed to a lot of bacteria on a regular basis. For this reason, it is most important to wash your hair with water. A common misconception is that shampoo and conditioner will cleanse your hair. On the contrary, using too much shampoo and conditioner will actually strip your hair of essential oils, thus leaving it dry and stripped of much-needed moisture.

Combination of Shampoo and Conditioner:

In order to get the best effect from a shampoo and conditioner combination, you need to combine it properly. Choose one that will dissolve excess oil and work on the scalp. You should consult your hair specialist before you consider washing your hair with just a shampoo or conditioner.

What Is the Best Shampoo or Conditioner?

It's still best to use a mild shampoo and a moisturizing conditioner. Excessive washing dries out your hair and strips it of its natural oils. You don't want to develop an oil-producing scalp condition, do you?

So skip the super expensive conditioner and buy a low-cost, biodegradable conditioner instead. Or use a mild herbal shampoo mask to cleanse your hair.

Do I Need a Clarifying Shampoo and a Deep Cleaning Shampoo to Wash My Hair?

Yes, clarifying shampoo and deep cleaning shampoos are necessary to remove residue from your shampoo and conditioner. And also to provide additional conditioning for your hair. If you don't clarify and cleanse, your hair could end up dull and even breakable. Straighten your hair after each use. It allows for maximum absorption.

How Should I Store My Shampoo and Conditioner?

Storing in a refrigerator is best, but if you're short on space, you can place them in a Ziploc bag (Reusable Storage Pouches) for an overnight stay in a cool, dry place. If you plan on using conditioners frequently, keep them in the refrigerator, but make sure they are completely empty before storing them in the Ziploc bag.

Is it best to wash my hair with just a conditioner, or is there more to it than that?

There are many factors at play: When it comes to the question, "Can I wash my hair with just conditioner?"

One of the most important factors is the type of hair you have. Those with fine, limp hair may not benefit from the high concentration of lanolin in commercial conditioner products like Dax Super Lanolin. More moisture required for those people; therefore, it's best to use a lightweight conditioner.
