In life, there are days when we are happy to know that the same evening, when joining the arms of Morpheus, we will go to bed less stupid (or at least smarter).This is exactly what happened to me yesterday when I discovered that I did not know how to apply my conditioner!
It's crazy, right?Twenty years that I have spoiled liters and liters of conditioner without ever having questioned my technique.I explain everything to you.
You surely know it already, but after having shampoued in love with your roots, it is rather common to apply a conditioner on its lengths.This product, which must be left for a few minutes, is used to untangle hair but also to discipline it, make it shine and bring them volume.
There are conditioners for all hair issues, but in addition to an adapted formula, what changes everything is the way to apply it ...
Wrstering your hair before applying your conditioner, the gesture that changes everything
At Instyle magazine, the professional hairdresser Clariss Rubenstein explains:
"Have you ever tried to wipe water with a dipped sponge?Well, with hair, it's the same: if they are too wet, they will not be able to absorb.
It has been known for a long time that water and oil do not mix, and if the hair is full of water, it is mess as well as a waste of time and money because the after-shampoing n'will have no effect on the hair.
On the other hand, well wrung hair can enjoy the assets of the product and it will be much more effective than if all the material ends in the shower siphon.»»
Bien essorer ses longueurs avant d’appliquer son après-shampoing serait donc l’astuce ultime pour obtenir un effet « retour de chez le coiffeur»» après chaque shampoing.But you still have to do it correctly!
How to remove the water from your hair before applying your conditioner?
To wring her hair in the rules of the art, Clariss Rubenstein is not stingy with recommendations:
"So that it is effective, start by grouping your hair on the back of the head as a ponytail.Then press the lengths from the neck to the tips.Repeat the movement as many times as it is: no more drop of water should fall.»»
Another advice not than con: avoid treating your hair like your laundry, and does not twist it in all directions.It would still be a shame to damage your lengths and cause breakage by wanting to take care of it!
Well, I leave you on this revolutionary info: I must check that I properly use my dry shampoo ...
