Hair Conditioning 101: How to Do It Right

Don’t put oil on your scalp

Whether you’re doing a DIY treatment or using a store-bought product, keep oil off your scalp. Your scalp already produces oil, so adding more to this area can leave you feeling greasy. It is also difficult to completely remove oil from the scalp. If you make the mistake, use a clarifying shampoo as needed until you remove as much as possible. All this is not to say that oil treatments are bad. On the contrary, they are quite effective. However, when applying an oil treatment, or even a deep conditioner, focus on the mid-shaft to the ends.

Try multiple masking

 

Keeping the same line of thought, not all shaft parts are created equal. As you know, you want to keep oil off your scalp, but particularly dry midsections and ends need extra love. Multi-masking your hair involves putting different products on different parts of your hair, but all at the same time.
