The 30-second answer
Per the AAD, fine or straight hair gets conditioner on the ends, dry or curly hair on the full length, and shampoo goes on the scalp. For dry hair: Hepta Panthenol at EGP 172 or OGX Argan at EGP 350; the cheapest are Aloe Eva at EGP 75 and Eva Coconut at EGP 125; for fine hair Trix at EGP 298.
Where and how to apply conditioner
- Shampoo on the scalp: apply shampoo to the scalp instead of the entire length of the hair.
- Fine or straight hair: conditioner on the ends of the hair.
- Dry or curly hair: conditioner on the entire length.
- Combing: a wide-tooth comb rather than a brush on wet hair, and for thick curly hair comb in the shower before rinsing out the conditioner.
- Drying: wrap hair in a towel or shirt instead of rubbing.
- Heat: limit blow-drying and irons, use low or medium heat, and apply a heat protectant.
Rinse-out or leave-in?
- The AAD says the two have different formulas: rinse-off conditioner often contains detergent, so it should not stay on, and should not be poured into a spray bottle as a leave-in.
- Use leave-in in a small amount on slightly damp hair, from mid strands to the ends and not the scalp (build-up may irritate it); it can stay up to a week and is then washed out with shampoo.
- Curly hair needs more conditioning than straight; fine straight hair needs a lighter leave-in so it does not look greasy.

Keep in mind
- Pages describe the products and no studies compare them; choose by your hair type and price per ml.
- If redness or itching of the scalp appears after a new product: stop it and ask a dermatologist.
- Obvious hair loss or patches without a reason needs a doctor, not a conditioner.
- Leave-in goes on the hair, not the scalp, and is washed out weekly.

FAQ
Where do I apply hair conditioner?
The AAD recommends the ends for fine or straight hair and the entire length for dry or curly hair, with shampoo on the scalp only.
Should I put conditioner on the scalp?
Not leave-in conditioner: the AAD says it can build up and irritate the scalp; apply it from mid strands to the ends.
What is the difference between regular and leave-in conditioner?
The AAD says they have different chemistry; rinse-off conditioner may contain detergent so it should not stay on, while leave-in can stay up to a week and is then washed out.
Does fine hair need conditioner?
The AAD recommends conditioner on the ends for fine, straight hair, with a lighter leave-in to avoid a greasy look.
How do I detangle curly hair?
With a wide-tooth comb on wet hair, and for thick curly hair in the shower before rinsing out the conditioner, per the AAD.
Does a thickening conditioner increase hair density?
Product pages describe it as supporting a fuller look, and we found no studies showing a real increase in hair density.

The bottom line
Shampoo goes on the scalp and conditioner on the hair: the ends for fine hair and the full length for dry and curly. Choose by hair type and price per ml, and put leave-in from mid strands to the ends, not on the scalp. There is no proven comparison between these products.
