Pros & Cons
How to Use
After shampooing, apply a generous amount to wet hair, focusing on mid-lengths to ends. Detangle with fingers or a wide-tooth comb. Leave on for 2–5 minutes (brand guidance often suggests about 5 minutes), then rinse thoroughly with cool to warm water. Use as needed or up to 3× weekly.
Cautions & Considerations
Allergies & Sensitivities
Contains fragrance, honey, and hydrolyzed wheat protein—patch test if you’re sensitive to scents, animal-derived ingredients, or proteins.
Fine Hair Tips
Apply mainly from mid-lengths down; avoid saturating roots to prevent flatness.
Color-Treated Hair
Gentle, sulfate-free base is generally color-safe; follow your colorist’s guidance for best longevity.
Storage
Keep the cap closed to avoid water contamination; store away from direct heat and sunlight.
