As often as you like! If you have dry or chemically treated hair, we recommend using it after every shampoo.

How long should I leave Smooth Finish Conditioner on my hair before rinsing it?
If you have normal to fine hair, 1--3 minutes is ideal. Thicker, coarse, or hair past shoulder length should leave it on for at least five minutes, preferably longer.

How much Smooth Finish Conditioner should I use per application?
That all depends on your hair length and texture. If you have short hair that is fine or thin, an amount less than the size of a dime should be plenty. Normal hair (not fine or thin but not thick or coarse) should use a nickel-sized amount. Thick, coarse, or curly hair that is also long should use a quarter-size amount or more. Experimentation will tell you which amount is best for your hair's texture and condition.

Yes, although we recommend using a very small amount (pea-sized) mixed with a styling product (such as gel or mousse) for extra smoothing and softness.
