PS: This post is in perspective that leave-in serums are used after washing the hair.
A week back, I was too tired of washing my hair and applying the conditioner and waiting in the shower so I made a simple process by simply washing my hair and sticking to the leave-in serum. And, I found my hair was really fluffy and well-behaved and was not weighed down for 3-4 days which wasn’t there earlier. This prompted me to think if the conditioner is really needed for hair?
Fine Hair and Conditioning
Since I have done the article on hair textures, I have been inclined to think about hair care separately for both kinds of hair. Yes, conditioners are very necessary for hair but then a lot of other things also affect it – amount of conditioner needed and types of conditioners needed also depend quite a lot on your hair texture, right? So, why to make it a universal rule that you need a conditioner for your hair howsoever your hair and leave-in serum is also a conditioner.
Conditioner keeps hair soft
But, there is another perspective that conditioner does keep the hair soft. So, leave-in serum’s job becomes easy – to protect the loss of moisture. And, conditioner helps detangle the hair too by providing a little slip to the hair. And, many conditioners are able to tame frizzy hair. But, conditioners also have big disadvantage – they can weigh the hair down.
So, what do you think – Conditioner or no Conditioner?
Very Informative 🙂 I will try today without conditioning 🙂
would love to know how it goes 🙂
Even i have this confusion..but some how last minute i’ll apply conditioner as i don’t dare without it
hehe…I know that’s how it happens with me too!!! but, somehow during lack of time, I clear out without conditioner.
hmnn..my hair is super thick and frizzy as hell..i don’t think can do without conditioner.

hey Asta…yes, rough hair needs conditioner desperately to tame it…I was just talking about fine hair 🙂 they can probably go without conditioners but I am just rethinking about this whole thing!!!
skipping conditioner n using leave in serum is a gud idea but without conditioner wont we get split ends?
hi Krupa…I don’t really think conditioner does prevent split ends but have to think on this!!! will get back with a post on this. you might be right 🙂
I felt using conditioners not only makes hair soft and silky but also gives a straightened look. Atleast I felt that in my case. My hair is normal hair,its not too rough. But yes,conditioners are needed for frizzy hair with split ends.
yes, sathyasree, it weighs the hair down a bit and makes it manageable so hair looks straight!!!
u can easily skip it..
yeah, fine hair people and oily hair beauties can skip provided they go for leave-ins!!
