In short, a conditioner is a conditioning or moisturizing agent that is typically made up of ingredients like silicones, oils and emollients, and cationic surfactants. These ingredients combine to replenish moisture in your hair after shampooing.

How to use conditioner? How long should you leave it on your hair?
There are right and wrong ways to use conditioner. Los Angeles hairstylist Nathaniel Hawkins says the right way is to wash your hair and feel it. Leave the conditioner on for three or four minutes. Apply the conditioner in long, smooth strokes, and make sure to squeeze out some of the water in your hair after shampooing so that it doesn't weaken the effect of the conditioner.
What are the benefits of conditioner?
The function of conditioner is to close the hair cuticle and play an anti-static, antibacterial, soft and moisturizing role. The conditioner ingredients are attached to the surface of the hair, lubricating the surface layer and reducing friction, thereby reducing the chance of hair damage caused by combing, etc. In addition, the protective film formed by the conditioner ingredients can prevent or slow the loss of water in the hair, allowing dry hair to regain moisture
How often should you use conditioner?
Conditioner can make hair smooth and sleek, which can help reduce breakage and split ends. This is why New York City hairstylist Chuck Bass recommends using conditioner every time you wash your hair, so that it can replenish moisture while softening and smoothing the hair
Does conditioner have a negative impact on your hair?
Although it does exist, the impact is very small. Conditioners can be potential allergens for some people and may cause allergic contact dermatitis. However, this only happens to a very small number of people.
