What benefits do balm, mask, conditioner bring to hair and what is better to choose?

Many different products for hair care . These include ready-made products (shampoo, conditioner, serum...) and home-made products (hair mask, conditioner...). They are all different and are used and combined in different ways. We apply hair products either only to the strands, or only to the scalp, or both. How to do this correctly? What can you combine?

How to use hair conditioner?

Many girls make the same mistake every day. What is it? In using only shampoo, which is rarely suitable. It is not for nothing that each of the professional and medical lines contains several products for different purposes.

Thus, shampoo helps remove dirt, sebum, remnants of gels, varnishes and foam. Balm is necessary in order to nourish the hair with useful substances and protect it from the harmful influences of the environment. Masks, sprays, serums - they are all necessary to provide additional care. Only the combined use of these products will help you achieve the desired result - beautiful and voluminous hair.

Using the balm is simple: you just need to apply the composition to damp and clean hair, wait for the time indicated on the package and then rinse with warm water.

My autumn hair care using Sativa Cosmetics hair balms

Greetings to all beauty lovers! I can’t say that the long-awaited autumn has arrived for me, but the inevitable time of year needs to be met with dignity and fully armed.

Today I would like to talk about two hair balms that I started testing with the onset of the first cold weather.

The first thing I start to struggle with every fall and winter is seasonal hair loss. I will not say that it is very large, but having experienced almost baldness, I begin to sound the alarm when I see an extra hair that has fallen out.

Today we will talk about Balm-conditioner for normal and oily hair types No. 49 and Balm-conditioner for dry and normal hair types No. 46 from the Belarusian brand Sativa.

About my hair:
In the cold season, I can note that my hair becomes oilier at the roots and noticeably dry at the ends.

Target

— find out which conditioner is best for me in the fight for beautiful and healthy hair.

So, let's begin!

Conditioner balm for dry and normal hair types No. 46.

Ingredients:
Water, Macadamia oil, Avocado oil, Behentrimonium methosulfate, Cetearyl alcohol, Babassu oil, D-panthenol, Glycerin, Muru-muru oil, Jojoba oil, Honeysuckle extract SC-CO2, Ginger root extract CO2, Thyme extract CO2, Leaf extract walnut SK-CO2, Lactic acid, Apple extract SK-CO2, Grape seed extract SK-CO2, Aloe vera extract SK-CO2, Echinacea extract SK-CO2, Rosemary extract CO2, Burdock root extract SK-CO2, Vitamin E, Betulin-containing birch bark extract, Sage shoots extract SK-CO2.

Directions for use:
When applying the product to clean hair for 1-2 minutes, it acts as a conditioner. When applying the balm for 15-20 minutes, the product works like a balm, enhancing its nourishing effect and the effect of all active ingredients on the hair.

Balm volume: 150 ml.

The product is placed in a plastic bottle with a very convenient dispenser, which is tightly protected with a lid. The balm has absolutely no contact with air, which is important, given its natural composition. The design is simple, but at the same time pleasant.


The bottle contains labels with a detailed description of the product.


I need several pumps to extract the required amount of balm. The product is dosed in a thin stream.

The consistency is dense, thick, rich in the aromas of herbs and extracts.


* The balm does not have synthetic fragrances.

I apply the balm not only to my hair, but also to my roots. Despite this, my hair gets dirty, as usual, it doesn’t get “greasy” and looks fresh after washing. Most often, I leave the balm on for about 15 minutes. What I would like to note after using the balm:

— visible, natural volume; - softness of hair, including dry ends; — the hair became very pleasant to the touch, like my little niece’s; - does not weigh down hair; — hair is very easy to comb and does not require additional conditioning (but I always rinse with a herbal decoction); - hair looks healthy and shiny.

I consider my hair to be far from perfect and damaged in places, but despite this, after regular use, my hair looks much better, although there is still a lot of work to be done on perfection.

Rating: 5 Price: 738 rub. Testing time: 1.5 months (when washing hair every 2 days)

I really liked the effect of conditioner balm No. 46, but since my hair is neither dry nor oily, sometimes it’s not so easy to choose the appropriate course of care in order to remain satisfied with the result.

Having made certain conclusions about the first conditioner-balm, I am sharing my impressions about the second.

Conditioner balm for normal and oily hair types No. 49 from Sativa.


I found out about conditioner balm No. 49 before I purchased it. Being in the “hair loss” community, one girl showed the result very colorfully, after quite a long use, naturally, as an additional

care for hair prone to loss.

Compound:

Water, D-panthenol, Behentrimonium methosulfate, Grape seed oil, Glycerin, Cetearyl alcohol, Babassu oil, Jojoba oil, Castor bean oil, Bay oil, Honeysuckle extract SK-CO2, Clove extract CO2, Juniper berry extract CO2, Lactic acid, Rosemary extract CO2, Coffee bean extract SK-CO2, Pomegranate seed extract SK-CO2, Dandelion root extract SK-CO2, Cucumber seed extract SK-CO2, Walnut leaf extract SK-CO2, Betulin-containing birch bark extract, Vitamin E.


Mode of application:

Apply the required amount of product to hair along the entire length.

Rinse off after 1-2 minutes. In order to enhance the effectiveness of the active ingredients, leave the balm on the hair for 15-20 minutes.

The bottle is no different from the first “hero” of the review, only with changes in the label and composition. Also, the bottle contains all the necessary information about the product.


The aroma is different from balm No. 46. Sharper and brighter, but you can also hear notes of plants.

The consistency is dense, thick. The balm is distributed evenly; for medium-length hair, 4 pumps are enough.


I apply the balm for a few minutes, also avoiding the root area. Easy to wash off. Hair after conditioning is very soft and silky. Changes are already noticeable on wet hair. Hair is easy to comb and does not require additional care.

I noticed that compared to the first balm, No. 49 keeps my hair clean and fresh for less time (although in theory it should have been the other way around). But the fact remains that hair gets dirty faster (especially if you leave the balm on your hair for more than 10 minutes).

* I did not change additional hair care during testing of two balms!

I also note that the balm noticeably envelops the hair.

Alas, I didn’t notice any hair growth! The only thing is that it’s seasonal hair loss now and I’m trying to take intensive care of my hair. After three months of using Sativa balms, hair falls out as in the summer season, that is, as usual, no more and no less. And so far, it makes me happy!

Balm volume: 150 ml. Rating: 5 Testing time: 1.3 months Price: 716 rub. Brand manufacturer: Belarus

I will highlight the advantages of two products that should be combined:


— natural composition; — sealed packaging; - gives softness and smoothness; — can be used as a balm or conditioner; - nourishes hair; - does not reduce hair volume; — effectively cares for damaged hair; - relieves electrification; - economical in consumption.

* I didn’t find any significant downsides to the products.

Properties of hair balms

If you understand the features of wash-off skincare products in more detail, it becomes clear why they are so recommended and widely used. With proper and regular use of balms, you can achieve the following results:

  • hydration;
  • nutrition of follicles;
  • normalization of the balance of skin acids;
  • ensuring color fastness;
  • giving strands lightness, strength and elasticity;
  • reducing the negative impact of styling products, hair dryers, and straighteners.

However, not all products from modern companies can make hair light and airy. If the balm is stuffed with preservatives, parabens and other chemical additives, the effect will be directly proportional.

In addition, do not forget that there are two types of balms: conditioner and conditioner. The first helps to make weakened and lifeless hair beautiful and moisturizes. The second can be used for the healthy type. It helps make curls shiny and bouncy.

Helpful tips for selection and use

People experienced in creating hair beauty can give beginners the following recommendations:

  1. Apply the product only to damp strands.
  2. Balms intended for hair should not be applied to the scalp, as this can create a greasy effect.
  3. You shouldn’t use too much product at one time; too much will make it heavier and lose volume.
  4. For oily types, it is better to choose conditioners without silicone.
  5. For normal hair, using a conditioner once a week is sufficient.
  6. Those who have certain problems with the condition of their strands should use conditioners and rinses 2-3 times a week.
  7. Complex remedies are not always effective. It is better to purchase those that can solve a specific problem.
  8. If your hair is dry, a balm with moisturizing ingredients is suitable for it.
  9. In case of severe hair loss, products that help restore the structure of the follicle will help.

In addition, we must not forget that you should not use everything at once. The best solution is shampoo and conditioner or shampoo and mask. There is no need to use three or four products at a time. This can only make the strands heavier.

Is it worth purchasing all the products at once?

It is beneficial for manufacturers of such cosmetics that consumers buy all the products at once, actively use them and purchase more. It is important to note that an overabundance of hair care products can also be harmful if there is none at all. It is important to pay attention to the condition of the curls - if there are no serious problems, and styling with an iron is not done every day, then you can do without conditioner and use balm.
