Our Take

A protein-containing deep conditioner with hydrolysed pea protein, hydrolysed vegetable protein, and biotin to strengthen and plump the hair shaft. The slip base is the brand's signature Diheptyl Succinate and Capryloyl Glycerin/Sebacic Acid Copolymer blend — silicone-free but with a softness that rivals silicone-based formulas. Sodium hyaluronate adds moisture retention; cannabis seed oil, pumpkin seed oil, and fenugreek extract provide essential fatty acids. A complex essential oil blend of lemongrass, geranium, peppermint, lime, sage, bergamot, clary sage, and ginger means this is not fragrance-free — worth noting for those with sensitivities. Best used weekly with heat for high-porosity or damaged curls. Contains protein.
