to hair to make it softer and smooth. Hair conditioner was invented over fifty
years ago and today they are richer in useful components. Hair conditioners
today make combing and modeling easier; stimulate nourishment and protection of
hair.
History to know
Our great grandmothers used to apply home-made hair
conditioners based on herbs, honey, milk and eggs. Hair used to improve though
the components lost their strength when the hair dye, hair irons, hair sprays
and alkali were used and stronger substances were in need to soften and nourish
hair.
The Wella specialists invented the revolutionary hair
conditioner in 1953 which was designed to protect hair after it is washed and
make brushing easier.
Fifty years passed since then and hair conditioners changed
from bottles to components and they acquired more effective consuming features.
Today hair conditioners are designed to protect hair from drying, from harmful
exposure to UV light, they improve brushing, add shine and volume to hair, make
them airy and help to straighten curls.
Various hair conditioners
In the 21st century the manufacturers offer hair
conditioners as emulsions, sprays and creams. They may be rinsed off or not,
they may be used with hair masks, they protect from high temperature or
chemicals when dying or perming hair.
The assortment of hair conditioners is as high as the price
range of such products. The price for hair conditioner may rise depending on
the brand reputation, image and advertisement campaign. Professional hair
products are too expensive, though they are worth spending such money, since
they use only natural and safe components to cause the required effect. The
only disadvantage is that professional hair conditioners are not in free access
in stores and they are not available in retail. This is the marketing policy of
manufacturers who protect their products from fake distributing products in beauty
salons, hairdresser’s, drugstores and retail networks.
Elite hair conditioners contain only exclusive natural
components made according to the latest technologies.

many long years, and Penelopa Crus makes her own hair conditioner from mango,
coffee, cinnamon, maple syrup and quail egg.
