To use copper conditioner effectively, you should apply it to damp hair after using a copper shampoo. Here's a detailed guide:
Step-by-Step Guide to Using Copper Conditioner
| Step | Action | Details |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Wash with Copper Shampoo | Begin by cleansing your hair with a shampoo formulated for copper or color-treated hair, such as the Alchemic Shampoo Copper. |
| 2 | Apply Conditioner | Apply the copper conditioner from the mid-lengths to the ends of your damp hair. |
| 3 | Leave On | Allow the conditioner to sit on your hair for 5 minutes. |
| 4 | Comb Through | Use a wide-tooth comb to gently distribute the conditioner evenly throughout your hair. |

Key Points for Optimal Results
- Always start with clean hair: Using the conditioner on hair that's been washed with a suitable shampoo, as recommended, will produce the best results.
- Focus on the lengths and ends: The ends of the hair typically need the most hydration and color depositing, which is why application should focus from the mid-lengths to the tips.
- Timing is crucial: The 5 minute leave-in time ensures the conditioner has adequate time to deposit color and provide moisture.
- Comb through for even distribution: Combing the conditioner through helps to make sure every strand is coated and ensures there aren't any uneven patches of color.
Following these steps will help you achieve vibrant, conditioned copper-toned hair.
