Most people feel hair quality is still very dry after using, think that there is no effect with hair conditioner or hair mask, and even some people mistakenly think that these two things are the same thing.

Before answering this question, I give everybody popular science a most basic hair knowledge first, read to explain the function and use of hair film and hair conditioner to everybody again, you won't understand wrong. Hair is damaged, hair mask and hair conditioner must be used, but can not be used wrong, otherwise it will not achieve the due effect.

Hair has no life force and no ability to repair itself. Once damaged, it can never return to its healthy state.

Some people may say, since hair damage cannot be restored, is it not a waste of conditioner or hair mask? Below I will explain the role of hair conditioner and hair film and the correct use method.

The effects of hair conditioner

Hair conditioner is a supporting product of shampoo. Its main function is to neutralize the anionic surfactants remaining in shampoo and balance the ph. The conditioner shrinks hair structures and helps the scales close, adding gloss.

Permeable molecular structure is relatively small, mainly for the chemical damage caused by hot dyeing, can enter the interior of the hair, fill the void, bring nutrients into the hair body, replace the protein that the hair loses, let the hair have simple sense and elasticity.

Wrapped products are mainly for hair caused by physical damage caused by hair dryers and electric splints, similar to hair conditioner, but more lasting and effective than hair conditioner. It can repair lost scales and coat the hair with a hard keratin to give it a shine.
