And although sometimes grabbing whatever products are sitting in the shower works well, with the range of conditioners on the market right now, finding the one for your hair type can take your ‘do from meh to bombshell. That’s right. Sometimes a product update can totally transform your look. Click through to find the perfect conditioner for your hair type.

3/11If you have coarse, curly, or color-treated hair…
Did you know that, depending on your hair type, you can ditch the shampoo and go steady with just conditioner? With the right conditioner, you can. If you have coarse, curly, or color-treated strands, shampoo can over-strip your moisture balance and cause unwanted damage. Try a lightweight foaming conditioner like this one to ease into the cleansing conditioner routine. You’ll save time, and you’ll notice silkier, more shiny strands after just a few washes. Just remember to work the product into your scalp to make sure it gets rid of all that unwanted dirt. Bonus: Your color will stay true for much longer — go ahead and delay your next appointment.

For anyone with super-thick, unruly strands, this innovative concoction actually time-releases fresh marula “spheres” throughout the day, so every time you brush, you’re introducing repairing benefits to your hair. Say goodbye to split ends.
