Common Hair Conditioning Questions: Answered

1. Why does my hair feel greasy after conditioning?

If your hair feels greasy after conditioning, it could be due to using too much conditioner, particularly near the scalp or that it was not rinsed well enough. 

For oily hair, use the OILY HAIR Conditioner (Kaffir Lime, Jojoba & Grapefruit) and avoid applying it directly to the roots. Focus on the lengths and ends of your hair instead. 

2. How often should I use conditioner for my hair type?

Dry, Frizzy & Curly Hair: Use the Co-Wash Conditioner Only Wash as a more gentle conditioning option to maintain moisture without heaviness.

Oily Hair: For oily hair, use the OILY HAIR Conditioner (Kaffir Lime, Jojoba & Grapefruit) 2-3 times a week, depending on how often your scalp produces oil. We suggest twice a week, unless your scalp is very oily, in that case you can add a pre-wash hair mask that controls excess oil production

Dry & Damaged Hair: For dry and damaged hair, the DRY & DAMAGED Hair Conditioner (Honey, Centella, and Mandarin) can be used 2-3 times a week for added moisture and repair. We suggest twice a week and to alternate this with a Co-Wash if needed. 

Weak & Thinning Hair: The WEAK & THINNING HAIR Conditioner (Hops, Capsicum & Ginseng) should be used regularly to strengthen and nourish thinning hair. 

Color-Treated Hair: Use the COLOUR TREATED Conditioner (Carrot Seed & Milk Protein) to maintain the color's vibrancy while keeping hair moisturized.

For Anti-Aging Care: The ANTI-AGEING Hair Conditioner (Indian Cress, Water Cress & Lavender) can be used regularly to maintain hair elasticity and reduce hair breakage. and scalp health.

3. What’s the right way to apply conditioner to avoid buildup or residue?

Apply conditioner only to the mid-lengths and ends of your hair. Avoid the scalp area, especially if your hair is oily or you are using the OILY HAIR Conditioner (Kaffir Lime, Jojoba & Grapefruit). For best results, rinse thoroughly to avoid product buildup.

4. Why does my hair still feel rough or dry after conditioning?

If your hair feels rough or dry, it may not be receiving enough moisture. Try using a richer conditioner, such as the DRY & DAMAGED Hair Conditioner (Honey, Centella, and Mandarin), which provides more intense hydration. 

5. What’s the best conditioner for oily, dry, or damaged hair?

Oily Hair: OILY HAIR Conditioner (Kaffir Lime, Jojoba & Grapefruit) is formulated to balance oil production without weighing hair down.

Dry & Damaged Hair: DRY & DAMAGED Hair Conditioner (Honey, Centella, and Mandarin) helps hydrate and nourish dry hair.

6. How can I fix over-conditioned or limp hair?

If your hair feels limp or over-conditioned, reduce the amount of conditioner you apply and focus on lighter formulas, such as the OILY HAIR Conditioner (Kaffir Lime, Jojoba & Grapefruit). Avoid conditioning the roots, and ensure you're rinsing thoroughly to remove excess product.

7. Should I apply conditioner to my scalp or just the ends of my hair?

Conditioner should generally be applied to the ends and mid-lengths of your hair to avoid buildup on the scalp. If you have oily hair, focus only on the ends, using the OILY HAIR Conditioner (Kaffir Lime, Jojoba & Grapefruit).

8. What’s the difference between leave-in and rinse-out conditioners?

Rinse-out conditioners are applied after shampooing and washed out to provide moisture and nourishment (e.g., DRY & DAMAGED Hair Conditioner). 

Leave-in conditioners are applied to damp hair and left in without rinsing, offering ongoing hydration and protection. These may not be available in the listed products, but some conditioners can be lightly used as leave-in treatments.

9. What happens if I skip using a conditioner and only rely on shampoo?

Skipping conditioner can leave your hair dry, frizzy, and prone to damage because shampoo strips natural oils. The conditioner helps replenish moisture and smooth the hair cuticle. 

Another important reason to not skip conditioner is that it helps close the cuticle and seal in moisture after shampooing.

Ultimately, if you’re skipping the conditioner, try the Co-Wash Conditioner Only Wash for gentle conditioning without shampoo. 

10. How often should I deep condition my hair for the best results?

Deep conditioning can be done once a week or bi-weekly, depending on the hair's condition. For deep nourishment, try using the NOURISHING Hair Conditioner (Goji Berry, Brahmi & Alfalfa), designed for hair repair and nourishment.
