Many times, men tend to skip conditioner each day because they think of it as an extra step that won’t benefit their hair. However, everyone’s hair – for both men and women – benefits from regular conditioning, even those with oily hair.
Makes hair smooth and soft. You want to look and feel your best, but dry, flyaway hair looks like a mess and takes even more time out of your morning routine to style. Conditioner seals up the outer layer of each hair strand called the cuticle, so it smooths out the rough edges and makes hair softer and easier to manage.
Heals over-stripping from shampooing. Shampooing, especially if you do it daily, strips out the natural oils our hair makes at the follicle that help protect it from damage. Conditioner makes up for what frequent shampooing takes away, hydrating your hair and making it easier to style.
Boosts scalp health to help prevent hair loss. The nourishing ingredients in conditioner also target your scalp. A healthy scalp is a must for hair growth because healthy hair growth begins at the follicles. The right conditioner can help protect follicle health and, in turn, helps protect hair growth.
Detangles for easier combing. That action of smoothing out the cuticles also makes your hair less prone to tangles. It’s when that outer layer of each hair starts to break apart that hairs become tangled with one another. Conditioner makes it easier to comb hair because it smooths out the hair and creates a slippery surface that your comb can glide through easily.
So how often should men use conditioner? The simple answer is daily. Unless more frequent shampooing is recommended by your barber, you only need to shampoo a few days a week, but you should always use a conditioner when you shower. The trick is to use the right conditioning formula for your hair type so that you get the results you want. Also, use a special conditioner for your beard to keep it soft and healthy.
