Conditioners and conditioner
Air conditioners, unlike shampoos, have a more acidic environment. Initially, the conditioner was conceived as a drug that provides hair faster and more harmless drying. Only then the functions of the air conditioner expanded, and several types of air conditioners appeared.
Humidifiers, or bridge-risers, attract moisture, so they are designed for dry hair. These products usually include herbal extracts and protein components( the inscription on the "protein" package will indicate their presence).Quite often, this type of air conditioner is based on whey.
Reconstructors - they are used for damaged hair, for example, after champing or painting. All the reconstructors contain proteins, the most popular of them is the hydrolized keratin.
The popularity of the use of keratin is explained by the fact that this protein has a small molecular weight and easily penetrates through the hair coat.
Conditioners-acididors( from the English "acid" - acid) - have an acidic pH( 2.5 - 3.5), which is extremely useful for hair and scalp.
Under the influence of such conditioners, hair becomes shiny and silky, their volume visually increases, and the hair looks more magnificent.
Conditioners-detangleri - almost completely repeat the function of acidifera, but detangler are more effective if your goal is to improve the quality of split hair.
Temperature protectors - they include special polymers, which, covering the hair, evenly distribute heat. Thus, the hair becomes more protected from the heat of the hair dryer, plaques, electric forceps, etc. Air conditioners of this type can be part of shampoos, and then the term "Therm" is added to their name.
Glossers - these conditioners contain silicone derivatives - dimethicone or cyclomethicone. These additives fill the damaged areas of the hair surface, thereby increasing their strength. Thus, glossers perform both cosmetic and recovery functions. After using this conditioner, the hair gets shiny and a healthier look.
Some conditioners, however, like shampoos, give hair volume. This is achieved due to the fact that the conditioner covers each hair with a protective film, because of what the hair will actually become more voluminous for a while.
Often manufacturers do not focus on the composition of a particular air conditioner, because the usual consumer, for example, the word "bridge-reader" will not say anything. Therefore, the names of air conditioners are simpler: "For fine hair: volume and shine", "For naughty hair: smooth and silky", "For curly hair: curly and elastic", etc.
After using many conditioners, hair until the next washin fact, they look like the producers promised, so using these tools really makes sense.
In addition, air conditioners help protect hair from sun, wind, hot hair dryer, after the conditioner, the hair is combed much easier and no longer electrified.
If the hair is already smooth, strong, healthy, air conditioning can not be used. In other cases, they can be used after each hair wash.
