Q:
Do 2-in-1 shampoos and conditioners really work?

If you’re Mr Multi-tasker and believe even your grooming products should do two jobs at once then yes, a shampoo/conditioner may be
worth trying. When you lather up your scalp with a two-in-one, cleansing agents called surfactants bind to the dirt and excess oil in your hair, and pull them off as you rinse.

While those surfactants are streaming off, the conditioner is kicking in. “The conditioning portion is bound in molecules that act as ‘cages’,” says Dr Paradi Mirmirani, an assistant professor of dermatology at the University of California, San Francisco. “As the hair is rinsed, the conditioner is released, coating the hair.” Dr Mirmirani says these products work best on hair that’s not too oily or too dry, and even then, it should be used only a few times a week.

For dry hair, use a two-in-one and follow up with a separate conditioner with a higher moisture content.
