Why it’s time to replace shampoo with cleansing conditioner

Everyone wants to feel clean and fresh every day. A part of daily hygiene is taking a shower. However, that doesn’t always mean you have to wash your hair. I know what you’re thinking, “Ew! Who doesn’t wash their hair every day?” Well, a lot of people, actually. The reason behind this is that shampoos can be harsh for your hair and scalp and it strips them of natural oils. The oils that make bed hair nice and less frizzy. Whether or not you like washing your hair every day, the best product to use is a cleansing conditioner.
