How should I apply this conditioner for the best results on my hair type?

After shampooing, squeeze excess water from your hair so the conditioner isn't diluted. Dispense a hazelnut-to-walnut sized amount (adjust for length and density) and distribute it through mid-lengths and ends using your fingers or a wide-tooth comb. If your hair is fine or gets weighed down easily, concentrate product from the ears down and avoid the roots. For thicker, coarse, or chemically treated hair, you can work a little closer to the scalp and use a bit more product. Leave it on for 1–3 minutes while you finish your shower — this gives the panthenol and aloe polysaccharides time to bind moisture inside the shaft and smooth the cuticle. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water until the hair feels clean but not squeaky. For an occasional deeper treatment, especially after coloring, sun exposure, or in dry winter air, extend the leave-on time to 5–10 minutes before rinsing.
