Recently, i've heard that conditioning your hair too often leads to hair fall. How often should we condition our hair? Is it actually harmful for our hair or its just a myth? Shampoo isn't harmful in any way. What about conditioner?

I think the conditioner does not cause hair loss. From source that I have ever read, Causing hair loss shampoo is an anti-dandruff shampoo. I myself gave the conditioner on my hair once a day.. :D

I'm glad to hear that hairfall due to a conditioner is just a myth.

My hair is dry and natural curly.So I only shampoo maybe once a week because over shampooing drys out my hair more.I condition a few times in a week to keep my hair more soft.

I suggest you to put oil in your hair one hour before you shampoo everytime. This will nourish it and rather than only the softening work done by the conditioner, it'll remove dryness from your scalp.

This is my first time to hear this. I have heard that constant shampooing is not good but using conditioner regularly is supposed to be good. I wonder who said that it leads to hair fall.

I shampoo my hair about 3x a week, or sometimes more when I feel it is dirty.. I rarely condition my hair, because I don't really think I should.. As you can see I am a guy and I have a short-hair. When reading conditioner instructions, it always said that put the conditioner at the ends/tips of the hair and never directly into scalp.. Now how am I supposed to do that?

I don't think that conditioning your hair daily can be harmful. I heard that it is shampooing your hair everyday can cause dry scalp, so I shampoo every other day and conditioner daily.

Oh! So, we should use conditioner more often than the shampoo! I use both together twice to thrice a week.

i shampoo my hair every other day and i use conditioner in between that days.. actually, both products are harmful for the hair.. shampoo makes the hair dry and dull if used everyday.. and you are right, conditioners, eexpecially the strong ones increase hairfall,, it is advice that you use varieties of this products dependiing on your hair type..

I have problematic hair, dry and curly, so I use conditioner every time I wash it. I have never noticed any problems because of it either, my hair doesn't seem to be falling off anyway.

I'm not using hair conditioner often.I'm using it alternately with shampoo;using shampoo today and use a conditioner the next day.I also use a conditioner when my hair is dry which seldom happens.I don't think that conditioner is harmful to our hair,it just gets too oily if I'm using it daily.Maybe a conditioner can cause hairfall if it does not have the right ingredients or you are sensitive to the chemicals used.

I don't think that conditioner may cause hairfall. I shampoo my self every other day and conditioner my hair everyday and my hair looks good. :)
