Our Take
A weekly deep conditioning treatment from the Rice Water range combining rice water, yuzu, and aloe vera for a moisture-focused intensive treatment that also reduces breakage and improves elasticity. Protein-free — the strengthening effect here is achieved through deep hydration and elasticity restoration rather than protein reinforcement, making it safe for protein-sensitive hair that still needs weekly treatment. Works across all curl types. Apply after shampooing, cover with heat for 20–30 minutes, then rinse and continue with your usual leave-in and styling. A reliable weekly treatment for curls that feel rigid, snap easily, or show rough texture mid-week.
