Glossary Hair Conditioning

process of applying products to improve hair's texture and manageability

Hair conditioning refers to the process of applying a hair conditioner, a specialized product designed to improve the texture, appearance, and manageability of hair. Conditioners typically contain moisturizing agents, proteins, and other ingredients that help to smooth the hair cuticle, reduce frizz, and enhance shine. This process is essential for maintaining healthy hair, especially after shampooing, which can strip the hair of its natural oils.
