FAQ about conditioner

Is it necessary to rinse out one’s conditioner?

As a general rule, it is necessary to rinse off the conditioner after use. However, some detanglers can be used without rinsing, as specified on the packaging.

What is the difference between a conditioner and a hair mask?

The conditioner is applied after each wash, whereas the mask delivers a more intensive treatment designed for use once or twice per week.

Does conditioner weigh hair down?

No, when applied solely to the lengths, conditioner does not weigh hair down. It can therefore be used on all hair types, including fine hair or hair that becomes greasy quickly.

Can a conditioner be used on all hair types?

Yes, it is always possible to use a conditioner, but it is important to choose a product tailored to your hair type.

Is it possible to use a hair mask in place of a hair conditioner?

For thick, curly or coily hair, it is possible to use a hair mask instead of a conditioner. The latter primarily serves to facilitate detangling, although, depending on its active ingredients, it can offer benefits similar to those of hair masks.

Where to apply conditioner: on the scalp and/or on the hair lengths?

The conditioner should be applied exclusively to the lengths and ends, which are the most damaged areas. Applying it to the scalp may weigh down or grease the roots.

How long should a hair conditioner be left to act?

Most conditioners act within two to three minutes.

Are silicones in conditioners harmful?

Silicones form a protective film that smooths the fibre and imparts shine. They are not harmful in themselves, but they are highly polluting.

Does conditioner protect hair from heat?

Certain conditioners contain thermo-protective agents that mitigate damage associated with blow-drying or hair straightening. However, this protection remains only partial.

Can a hair conditioner aid in defining curls?

It depends. Some conditioners are indeed formulated to improve strand cohesion and encourage the formation of more supple, better-defined curls.
