Your hair is a part of your overall image, so it makes sense that you want it to look good. Hair looks best when it is healthy. However, many modern styling treatments, including dyes, permanents and heat styling tools, can cause damage and dryness. Good, high-quality conditioners can help your hair look healthier and be more manageable, even if your hair is dry, damaged or tangled.
Avocado
Avocado contains oils that can offer deep conditioning effects for hair. Many conditioners contain avocado oil, including expensive brands such as Frederic Fekkai and Redken. For a cheaper alternative, you can make an avocado treatment for your hair. The website Pioneer Thinking suggests mashing one avocado and adding a tablespoon each of aloe vera and lemon juice and one teaspoon of sea salt. Apply the mixture to your hair and wait 20 to 30 minutes before rinsing.
Jojoba Oil
Jojoba oil is extracted from the seed of the jojoba tree, and it is extremely moisturizing. Many commercially available hair products contain jojoba oil. You can add jojoba oil to other shampoos and conditioners to use on extremely dry and damaged hair. Jojoba oil is also effective for use on its own as a hot oil treatment, in which the oil is heated and applied to the hair and left on for 20 minutes.
Lightweight Leave-In Detanglers
Lightweight conditioners that you leave on your hair without rinsing are most beneficial for detangling hair. Detangling sprays contain silicones or light oils so that hair will be easier to comb and resist new tangles. Many detangling products are marketed for children, but can also be used by adults.
