Cleansing conditioner is a hair-care product that is often used as a two-in-one product, meaning that it can be used as a treatment following a shampoo. In other cases, a cleansing conditioner is used along with a shampoo to help reduce a build-up of product in the hair and to rinse cleanly from the hair without leaving any residue. Some moisturizing conditioners leave a certain amount of emollient in the hair in order to keep it smooth and manageable. Cleansing conditioner leaves very little emollient in the hair, especially as compared to moisturizing conditioners.
Conditioning shampoo is a product that is very similar, if not nearly identical in its formulation, to cleansing conditioner. These two products are often used by people who are traveling and want to cut down on the number of toiletry products that they have to take with them. Also, it is common for hotels to offer cleansing conditioner or conditioning shampoo as their complementary hair care product. As such, hotels can cut down on the cost of the toiletries that they supply to their guests.
People with fine hair as well as people with curly hair often benefit from cleansing conditioner. Fine hair can easily become weighed down by oils that occur naturally on the scalp as well as oils and buildup from hair-care products. This can cause the hair to look lifeless and even dirty. Curly hair can also become lank if it is too weighed down with product buildup. As such, people with both of these types of hair can benefit from using cleansing conditioner.
For people who use numerous hair care products on a daily basis or use a large quantity of hair-care products on a daily basis, cleansing conditioner can help to remove all of the product while also nourishing the hair and keeping it healthy. For some hair styles, a great deal of gel, mousse, hair spray, and other products must be used. In order to keep the hair healthy, these products must be thoroughly washed out of the hair on a regular basis. Cleansing conditioner can do exactly this job.
Cleansing conditioner is not as common as shampoo or regular conditioner. It can be found in some drug stores and in online hair care stores. There are a variety of companies that sell the product and price points range from $4 USD (US Dollars) to nearly $30 USD.
