What Does it Mean to Condition Your Hair?
Let’s start with the basics: What is hair conditioner? Hair conditioner is a moisturizer for your hair that makes it soft, shiny, and smooth. Most conditioners contain oils, silicones and/or emollients.
What’s the Difference Between the Types of Conditioning?
There are a few different ways you can condition your hair. You may be most familiar with conditioning your hair when in the shower, right after shampooing. Let’s take a look at the different ways of conditioning and how they compare to these special treatments.
This will be the most common and widely-used method of hair conditioning. This type of conditioner is one that you typically leave in for a few minutes and then rinse out. The frequency at which you should use a rinse-out conditioner depends on your habits and type of hair. People who have curly or dry hair may benefit from conditioning their hair more than once a week.
With leave-in conditioners, you leave it on. Pretty simple. Unlike rinse-out conditioners, where you rinse it out almost immediately after use, you leave this conditioner in until the next time you wash your hair. This type of conditioner is used to repair and moisturize the more moderately damaged and dry hair. Once a week is the recommended use, but those with curly or dry hair may benefit from more uses per week.
This type of conditioner is like a rinse-out conditioner, but it also eliminates the need for shampoo. It both cleans and moisturizes your hair. This type of conditioner is a good choice for those with fine or curly oily hair. Those with curly or dry hair may not be best suited for this conditioner as their type of hair can last longer in between washes, and this conditioner is more for those who need to wash their hair more frequently.
The primary way that deep conditioner differs from the others is that this is a treatment done every couple of months and is left in the hair for about half an hour. It’s meant to be used on significantly damaged hair in need of serious hydration. Deep conditioner is intended to be left on your hair for around 30 minutes or more.

What to Expect at your Deep Conditioning Treatment
When you’ve found a place that can provide you with a quality conditioning treatment, maybe at Lemon Tree Hair Salons, here’s what you can expect:
Your stylist will assess your hair type and choose the right product that fits your needs. Whether you have very curly hair or hair that’s dry and coarse, your stylist will know what to do.
Applying the conditioner is the next step after giving your hair a good rinse. Your stylist will apply the conditioner from root to tip to ensure that the conditioner provides adequate coverage and gets every strand covered and able to be moisturized.
Prepare to be in the salon for at least an hour. The rinsing and application alone may take up to 20 or 30 minutes. But even after that, the conditioner needs to sit in your hair for another 30 minutes to sink into your hair thoroughly. This process may be aided by sitting under a heat source.
After all the waiting is done, your hair will be washed once again and then dried and styled to your liking.
Deep conditioning can be part of a regular hair healthy regimen. They strengthen, detangle and help prevent split ends. If done regularly enough, they can prevent hair from being damaged when heat styling occurs. Overuse of heat and styling products, environmental toxins, and chemicals from hair treatments can all damage and strip your hair of its natural shine. But don’t fret – these treatments can save your locks!
