Do I still need a separate conditioner after using this shampoo? — Hair growth activator shampoo 250ml – Medikomed

The formula includes collagen, which in a rinse-off product acts as a surface-conditioning agent — it helps the hair feel smoother and less rough after washing. However, collagen in a shampoo does not replace the detangling, cuticle-sealing, and moisture-retention benefits of a dedicated conditioner, especially for hair that is shoulder-length or longer, color-treated, or prone to mechanical damage from brushing and heat styling.

For best results, apply a lightweight conditioner from mid-lengths to ends after rinsing the shampoo. Avoid the scalp area to keep the root zone feeling clean and uncoated, which aligns with the product's purpose as a targeted scalp cleanser. If your hair is very short, fine, or gets weighed down easily, you may find the shampoo's conditioning effect sufficient on its own — try skipping conditioner for a few washes and assess how the hair feels when dry.

The shampoo's surfactant system removes sebum, styling residue, and buildup, which can leave the hair feeling "squeaky." A follow-up conditioner restores slip and manageability without undoing the scalp-focused action of the botanical extracts and taurine.
