1. Conditioners must be applied to the lower part
of the hair and the ends where the hair really needs care. Conditioners are
misplaced at the scalp where they will only weigh down the hair.
2. Use a comb with large wide teeth if you decide
to comb a conditioner into your hair. This type of comb is most gentle on damp
hair.

3. Always thoroughly rinse out conditioners and
hair treatments. Remaining conditioners only were down the hair unnecessarily
and may give your hair a stringy appearance.
4. In case your hair shows many split ends, apply a
small amount of conditioner to these ends before you shampoo your hair. That
nurtures and protects the hair ends.
5. Hair cures and masks may work particularly well
when heat is applied. Use a short steam of warm air from your hair dryer before
covering your hair with aluminium foil to topped by a towel.
6. Use hair care products, which are tailored
exactly to your current needs. Conditioners for extremely damaged hair may be
too rich for fine, thin hair. Cures for curly hair tend to flatten straight
hair.
7. Adjust your hair care products also to the
season and the climate. In the cold season, even fatty hair may need more
conditioning treatments than usual to counteract the effects of dry outside air
and dry heated air inside. In a hot and humid vacation spot, fine hair may need
conditioning only after every second shampooing.

8. More is not always better. Use only a
walnut-sized amount of a hair cure preparation and hazelnut-sized amount of the
conditioner. A few droplets of split end repair liquid are enough.
9. Don’t use conditioners excessively. Otherwise,
your hair may start drooping lifelessly. When this has happened use deep
cleansing shampoos to restore luster and volume to your hair. However, you
should not use those deep cleansing shampoos more than once a month.
