How Often Should You Condition Your Hair?

Sure, you may know that conditioner can hydrate your hair, make it smoother, and help control frizz, but how often does your hair need conditioner? Learn more about conditioner, how often to use it, and how to know when you need more or less conditioning.

Why Are Conditioners Important?

Conditioners do a lot—from moisturizing hair and reducing frizz to increasing shine, luster, and manageability. Conditioners like OLAPLEX® Nº.5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner can also strengthen hair to enhance its look, feel, health, and style-ability.

Figuring Out Conditioning Frequency

If you’re trying to figure out how often to condition your hair, there’s no one correct answer for everyone. Timing depends on hair type and texture, the climate, and how you style your hair. The type of conditioner—rinse-out, leave-in, or deep conditioning—also makes a difference.

Rinse-out Conditioner

In most cases, you should use rinse-out conditioner with every wash cycle. Nº.5 Bond Maintenance® Conditioner is a rinse-away conditioner for all damage-prone hair types that can be used during every wash cycle and is gentle enough to use daily. If you’re keeping brassiness at bay with Nº.5P Blonde Enhancer™ Toning Conditioner, use it weekly or as needed. For fine hair types, condition with Nº.5FINE Bond Maintenance® Conditioner for instant volumizing and strengthening, and rinse out after each use.

Leave-in Conditioner

Reach for a leave-in after your shampoo and conditioner if you want to keep  repairing damaged hair or provide longer lasting moisturize to moderately dry hair . Nº.5LEAVE-IN™ Moisturize & Mend Leave-In Conditioner can be used on clean, damp hair or on dry ends in between washes to instantly hydrate and seal split ends while continuously protecting and repairing your hair.
