Should Men Use Conditioners?

Yes, definitely men should use a conditioner to keep their hair healthy and manageable. Shampoo is great for cleansing dirt and oil from your hair and scalp, it can also leave your hair brittle and dry so using a conditioner can add a bit of moisture back in, to smooth your follicles.

Again, it is a personal choice of style, also weather conditions and the type of hair play an important role in this, in summer it becomes very difficult to manage long hair and you can face a lot of breakage whereas in winter long hair is still manageable.
