Conditioner for fine hair
Conditioner helps with tangles. On fine hair, where you put it matters.

Why condition at all
The AAD says conditioner moisturizes and detangles hair and makes it easier to manage. Fewer tangles means less pulling when you comb.
Where to put it
For fine or straight hair, the AAD advises conditioner on the ends. Keep it off the scalp.
How much
Start small. You can add more next time. Rinse until hair no longer feels slick.
Leave-in conditioner
Leave-in products stay on the hair, so use very little on fine hair, on the ends only. "Lightweight" on a label is the brand's word.
Labeled volumizing conditioner
The brand says these condition with less weight. Use the same approach: ends only.
FAQ
General information, not medical advice. Patch test new hair products, keep them out of your eyes, and stop use if irritation occurs. See a doctor or dermatologist about scalp conditions or hair loss.
