Choosing the best hair conditioner for your hair type can be simple. Advanced formulas are developed by manufacturers for specific types - long, short, curly; and for targeted care for unique problems, such as excessive dryness, oily, or locks prone to breaking or damage.
Many conditioners are designed to protect and provide a light coating for enhanced manageability and moisture (moisture being the primary cause of loss of body and split-ends). Active ingredients are added to offer specific treatment.
Damage Control
For instance, damaged or breaking follicles can be enhanced by using proteins of varying molecular weights. Rice, corn, wheat and silk are the most common and successful for repair and protection. Each either coat or infuse individual properties. Some can penetrate the follicle shaft and improve nutrition delivery and strength - increase protein bonds lowering susceptibility to tearing or breaking. Others gently coat the shaft for increased shine and body control.
Lost Moisture
For thick, dense or styles that lack or have lost moisture, Emu Oil is what we recommend. Used alone or in a conditioning blend, Emu Oil is a key component for increasing hydration. For dryness, it raises the moisture content of the follicles adding volume and definition to otherwise limp and lifeless locks. Used in conjunction with Panthenol, Jojoba Oil, and an assortment of topically infused vitamins, scalp and hair health is improved and frizziness and damaged are repaired or controlled.
Faster, Better Growth
For improved growth, Trichogen-based formulas work best. Trichogen was specifically developed to enhance and stimulate follicle development, improve blood circulation to the scalp and to block conversion and accumulation of DHT (dihydrotestosterone) - a leading cause of male pattern balding. Conditioning treatments with Trichogen help restore lost moisture while adding vitamins necessary for optimal bulb and cortex development. When used with growth shampoos, conditioners add the benefit of improving flexibility of the follicles and strengthening the shaft. A very powerful and effective combination!
