For the longest time, I thought using a conditioner meant I was doing everything right for my hair. I would shampoo, squeeze out some conditioner, quickly run it through my hair, rinse it off within 30 seconds, and feel like my job was done. But despite all that, my hair still felt dry. It tangled easily, the ends looked rough, and I noticed more breakage every time I brushed it. Naturally, I blamed my shampoo, the weather, even my genetics.
