No Weight Conditioner - Light Weight Hair Conditioners For Volume, Body and Fullness

If you are looking for a light weight conditioner to add body, control and volume to your hairstyle, trying a "no weight" conditioner may just be what the doctor (or your stylist) ordered!

No weight conditioners are formulated and designed to condition your hair without weighing it down. Many hair conditioners that are coupled with a shampoo often defeat the purpose of body and volume by coating the follicle shaft and stripping the hair of its ability to maintain curl or style. While many conditioners provide adequate protection and help restore health to damaged hair, product residue and active ingredients flatten-out the moisture and life provided by shampooing.

If you have thin, fine or fly-away hair, then volume and control are probably at the top of your list of things you want from conditioning. Using a no weight conditioner will add smoothness, reduce breaking and split ends, and will provide conditioning that protects and rebuilds protein bonds without losing that hard-fought design.

Most light weight conditioners use botanical active ingredients. Panthenol, Emu Oil, Burdock and rice or wheat proteins are the most common ingredients. They are very effective at smoothing the follicle shaft and help strengthen cellular structure leaving little residue or deposits. Panthenol and Emu Oil, in particular have become popular ingredients in hair products for their ability to be absorbed into the scalp and cuticle allowing natural replenishment of moisture and protective oils.

Other active ingredients such as Zinc PCA, Fenugreek and Ivy help stimulate growth and give hair a thicker, plumper appearance - facilitating thickness and increased control for hair that needs additional help for fullness. Fenugreek and Ivy both are used to help stimulate scalp circulation improving nutrition and scalp and hair health. Zinc helps regulate hair oils (sebum) from the sebaceous glands that can lock-on the shaft and make hair limp and hard to manage.

A light weight or no-weight conditioner may just what your hair needs if you have trouble maintaining body and fullness with your regular shampoo. Botanical ingredients allow protection, repair, and shiny, silkiness without heavy residue or build-up that can weigh your hair down. It may be just what the stylist ordered!
