The Difference Between a Conditioner, a Leave-In Conditioner and a Deep Conditioner

How often should you use each?

Conditioner can be used after every shampoo. If you have color-treated hair, Stenson recommends the Matrix Total Results Keep Me Vivid Conditioner.

A deep conditioner is more of a treatment product and should typically be used once every one to two weeks, depending on the needs of your hair. The Garnier Whole Blends Repairing Mask can be used on all hair types and helps strengthen and nourish with honey, propolis and royal jelly extracts.

“A leave-in conditioner should be used on freshly-washed hair and as a refresher as needed,” says Stenson. Try the Carol’s Daughter Goddess Strength Castor Oil Leave-In Conditioner, which is formulated to help repair, moisturize and strengthen hair in between washes.
