Hair Conditioners

Hair Conditioner Ingredients

Description: hair conditioner is used to nurture hair after washing it with shampoo. Conditioner improves the feel, appearance and manageability of hair. A conditioner helps to close the hairs’ outer layer which gives the hair a smooth and shiny effect. It makes hair feel soft and easier to comb. Hair conditioners come in different forms and the main categories are: rinse out, deep conditioner, leave-in, dry conditioners or shampoo and conditioner hybrids.   

Trends and Ingredients: after shampoo has opened the outer layer of hair to remove grease and dirt, the hair conditioner helps to close the outer layer and restore the moisture levels. This conditioning effect is accomplished with the help of a mix of ingredients such as emollients & moisturizers (Polyquaternium 22 and Polyquaternium 39), silicones (IngreSil PDM-500), preservatives, oils and surfactants (IngrePol Glycereth-26). These ingredients give different results depending on the intended type of hair conditioner.
