Should I buy Leave in conditioner or normal conditioner for straight hair ?
Im super confused and Is there a ingredient that I should avoid ?

Leave-in is usually for hair that requires deeper moisturizing, and is normally suggested for curly hair.
Your haircare should address your specific needs. Dry scalp, oily scalp, hair not retaining moisture, etc. The only broad generalization you can really make is if you have sensitive skin, avoid anything with sulfates.
I use sulfate shampoo on purpose
I tried non sulfate shampoo
It destroyed my scalp
But with conditioner I dont think they put sulfate in it ?
Right. Which is why I said it needs to address your specific needs and as a "broad generalization" for sensitive skin, avoiding sulfate can help. That doesn't mean it's for everyone.
Conditioners can contain sulfates, yes.
My scalp was so oily and I had white stuff on my scalp
like dandruff
@carrion I use this shampoo rn with this ingredients and It fixed my scalp Its smooth now
I'd recommend going to a derm and discussing this with them, or asking your hair stylist for recommendations based on your haircare needs. There is no single solution for everyone.
Or just buy one of the conditioners from your shampoo brand
I've never used conditioner before. I just want healthier looking hair
Right. So for example, if you're using Olaplex shampoo, just pick up an Olaplex conditioner that addresses your needs. They'll say on the bottle or on the product description section online what they're used for.
Start with normal, non-leave in conditioner
yeah I think so too and I can co wash with normal conditioner right
uh you can only co wash with normal conditioner
leave in you don't wash out
yeah Thats what I typed
I mean Its a plus
and one more question Should I apply to my scalp the normal conditioner ?
even Im gonna wash 2 minutes later
I still shouldnt apply to my scalp right
?
I don't apply conditioner right to my scalp, because it can clog my pores. If you have short hair and can't condition it without coating your scalp, I recommend using a silicon scalp brush to exfoliate.
But do shampoo before conditioner
