So I just got done watching “Grease” on HBO with the girl and took a shower after it was over. Im sitting here watching TV and thinking about the whole 50’s era with their cars and bikes and what not and their use of grease came to mind followed by my shower I just took.
So the questions is, Whats in conditioner that makes your hair soft? I guess I dont understand why it is that we wash our hair with shampoo to clean it and then we put conditioner in it to make it soft. Am I missing something? And yes I know this question is :gay2:

Stop jerking off with conditioner.
why does your skin dry out and why do you put lotion on it to get it normal again?
Everything organic/ water based can dry out and become brittle…

Modern hair conditioner was created at the turn of the century, when well-known perfumer Ed. Pinaud presented a product he called brilliantine at the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris. His product was intended to soften men’s hair, including beards and mustaches. Since the invention of Pinaud’s early products, modern science has advanced the hair conditioner industry to include those made with silicone, fatty alcohols, and quaternary ammonium compounds. These chemical products allow the benefits of hair conditioner without feeling greasy or heavy.
Ingredients
There are several types of hair conditioner ingredients, differing in composition and functionality:
* Moisturizers, whose role is to hold moisture in the hair. Usually these contain high proportions of humectants.
* Reconstructors, usually containing hydrolyzed protein. Their role is to penetrate the hair and strengthen its structure through polymer crosslinking.
* Acidifiers, acidity regulators which maintain the conditioner's pH at about 2.5–3.5. In contact with acidic environment, the hair's somewhat scaly surface tightens up, as the hydrogen bonds between the keratin molecules are strengthened.
* Detanglers, which modify the hair surface by pH as acidifiers, and/or by coating it with polymers, as glossers.
* Thermal protectors, usually heat-absorbing polymers, shielding the hair against excessive heat, caused by, e.g., blow-drying or curling irons or hot rollers.
* Glossers, light-reflecting chemicals which bind to the hair surface. Usually polymers, usually silicones, e.g., dimethicone or cyclomethicone.
* Oils (EFAs - essential fatty acids), which can help dry/porous hair become more soft and pliable. The scalp produces a natural oil called sebum. EFAs are the closest thing to natural sebum (sebum contains EFAs).
* Surfactants - Hair consists of approximately 97% of a protein called keratin. The surface of keratin contains negatively-charged amino acids. Hair conditioners therefore usually contain cationic surfactants, which don't wash out completely, because their hydrophilic ends strongly bind to keratin. The hydrophobic ends of the surfactant molecules then act as the new hair surface.
* Lubricants, such as fatty alcohols, panthenol, dimethicone, etc
* Sequestrants, for better function in hard water.
* Antistatic agents
* Preservatives

I had no idea myself, so at least that was informative. The shit I use is just an all-in-one, I would never use it if it required separate steps.
I only wash my hair once a week. Sometimes twice if I really hate myself. Clean hair is so weird.
i try to wash mine 2-3 times a week, conditioner once a week
lafengas can attest to why thats needed, hes seen me after a day at the shop, lol
edit: hoody hair is weirder then clean hair. it looks like ive got lopsidded male pattern baldness when i have hoodie hair
