How Does a Hair Conditioner Work?

Today, we are going to discuss some facts about the hair conditioners and yes, I am sharing DIY hair conditioning recipe for you. Go a head, read it and share your feedback below.

What are Hair Conditioners?

How does a Conditoner Works?

From my experience with store bought conditioners, I have noticed many things. My beautician always advises me to use store bought branded conditioners only on the hair body and not on the SCALP as it would spoil the hair roots with the loaded chemical content. Suddenly something did strike my mind!! When the store bought conditioners actually help in making hair shiny, smooth and supple, how does they make it? While hair is a dead follicle itself, how does these conditioners make them visibly soft? It's because of some silicon content or other chemical content in them. They coat the hair strands and make them looks shiny, soft and also make them manageable. Do you think this helps in improving our hair in any way? Of course not much! Several store bought hair conditioners help just in two ways, they are that they prevent split ends by moisturizing the hair and they also makes your hair manageable. Using store bought conditioners on your hair is not a bad thing, but they do not really help much in providing anything EXTRA to your hair.

     You need to be a little wise while choosing your hair conditioner. Choose conditioners without SILICON because the silicon coats your hair strands and give a temporary shiny look. Do you think it is permanent? Not at all! Try to use mild, herbal nourishing conditioners on your hair every time after your shampoo wash as conditioners are meant for painting the moisture loss due to shampooing. Me, and many of my friends really found our hair soft, silky and manageable after started using hair conditioners. Its sad that many people around India are still not concerned about conditioning their hair after shampooing.

Lets check some more about how conditioners work.

While some store bought conditioners just provide the temporary shine to our hair, there are some exceptional ones. For an example, there are some nourishing oils and creams available in the market which should be used before shampooing your hair. They actually nourish the scalp, hair roots, hair body and provides a deep conditioning treatment to your hair. When we shampoo our hair after using these kinda conditioners, they prevent excess moisture loss on the hair and scalp due to shampooing. Everything is in your hand, you need to choose a suitable conditioner for your hair to maintain it's health and beauty. Health and beauty of hair depends on your maintenance and the hair products you use. Of course health matters too!!

So what is a hair conditioner for you and how do you use it?

If you have any specific query about hair conditioners, do let me know in the comment section below. We can discuss more about it or if you like me to do a post on any other product,do please let me know as well. 

Oh I forgot! Here is the DIY deep conditioning recipe for dry hair which is swear by every week. Read HERE please!

How to Save Your Tongue Aftering Eating Something Really Spicy? {Instant Remedy}

You are wondering why is this post now, Right? It's all because of my own experience just before 15 minutes :( Yes. I have bitten a stupid green chilly! While eating fried rice, bit it without conscious and it burned my tongue like hell. Still now it's burning, but better than the beginning. I did few things to reduce the burning sensation on my tongue and I am feeling really better now. Just felt to share this with you all, so that when you bite something spicy next time, you will remember this and heal from this burning sensation fast.

Ice Water Treatment

Keep in mind, don't drink excess water after eating something spicy because it's not going to make your irritation reduce faster. Moreover, it spreads the spice particles allover your mouth. All you have to do first is, sip almost frozen ice water. Why I am saying is, this makes your tongue less sensible and thus it reduces the burning sensation. 

Bread to Absorb The Tiny Spice Particles

It was said to me by my friend that bread when eaten after eating something spicier reduces the burning sensation in tongue and lip as it absorbs the tiny spice particles. So have some bread! don't forget.. Only fresh bread. Its healthier and safer to eat bread only on the same day they were packed, throw away others.

Milk or Other Diary Products

After the ice water and bread treatment, have some milk. Milk calms down the tongue and makes it get recovered from irritation due to spices like chillies or pepper. Butter would be better though :p

That's it. This information will be more than enough for you. Please don't feel that it is a very big procedure. If your burning sensation stopped after having ice water, then no need to follow the other steps.

Note: After any "Chilly" experience like this, don't  forget to apply lip care or even butter over your lips to nourish and calm them, so they will be alright without any change in colour or texture.

Hope this post helped.
This is my chilly story and have you ever bitten a chilly or any other spicy thing? Let me know your experience by sharing it in the comments below :P
