The conditioner, in addition to providing softness to the hair, makes it smell delightful. However, when it comes to using conditioner, it's very easy to overdo it, which isn't exactly the best thing for your hair.

What happens when we overdo it?

With excessive use of conditioners, the hair receives more than the necessary amount of moisture and becomes overloaded, which is why other hair products such as oils and serums cannot penetrate the cuticle and be effective. Also, it can happen that the hair becomes too soft and loses its volume.

Using too much conditioner and leaving it on your hair for too long, using the wrong one for your hair type, not rinsing your hair enough, and using it too often are some of the ways you can overuse conditioner, especially if you use it with moisturizers like masks.

How to use conditioner correctly?

Using a conditioner every time you wash your hair is not a bad thing, but when you do use it, make sure you don't leave it on your hair for more than one to two minutes.

Also, it is important to distribute it properly along the length of the hair, but be sure to avoid applying the conditioner to the scalp.

In order to prevent excessive use of conditioner, it is important to use the correct amount, but also to rinse it thoroughly, ideally with colder water.
