Fondant Hydratation Essentielle
Lightweight rinse-out conditioner — moisture without the weight
A lightweight rinse-out conditioner designed for curly and very curly hair that needs moisture without being dragged down. Detangles gently and adds bounce — one of the best-sellers in the Curl Manifesto range. Notably lighter than the Masque, making it the better daily-use choice. Contains amodimethicone, which contributes to its smoothing performance but puts it outside strict CGM guidelines; plan in a clarifying shampoo every few weeks if using regularly. Protein-free.
