Using a hair conditioner after shampooing certainly gives a soft, smooth and frizz-free feel to our hair. However, most of the time these conditioners are loaded with chemicals like silicones (dimethicone), cationic surfactants (cetyl alcohol), parabens, phthalates, formaldehyde, quaternion-15 and others. While these give an instant feel-good factor to our hair, in the long run, they cause follicles to be weak and brittle. Besides this, some of these are known to be hazardous to health since they are known to cause cancer, issues with the reproductive system, and problems to the respiratory system, etc.

Pro Tips -
These masks can be used once or twice a week. Avoid oiling the shafts of the hair before applying a shampoo mask so that it can get absorbed and give maximum benefits. After applying the pre-shampoo mask, you can also do a hot towel treatment (place shower cap on hair and wrap it with a hot towel) or take steam. This also facilitates optimum absorption of hair mask in the shaft. When applying conditioner or a post-cleanse mask, make sure that you have thoroughly cleansed your hair and it's devoid of any shampoo residue.
