Description

As someone with very sensitive skin and scalp myself, I think it's important to have an option for those of us who need an extra gentle formula and a more subtle fragrance. This sulfate-free conditioner will leave your hair soft, shiny and totally weightless.

Soften and smooth the parts of your hair your natural oils can't reach.

How to:
1. After shampooing + rinsing, depending on the thickness of your hair, squeeze a dime to quarter-sized amount into your palm.
2. On wet hair, apply from the bottom and work your way to the top.
3. Wait 3 minutes and rinse thoroughly.
Tip: Not rinsing conditioner thoroughly can cause build up. Get in there, my friend!

Contains Zip-Up Technology, our proprietary strengthening complex designed to "zip-up" split ends while targeting weak areas of the hair, smoothing the appearance of damaged cuticles and helping to protect hair from environmental stressors and color fade.

cruelty free | color + keratin safe | vegan
free of sulfates, parabens, phthalates, silicones + gluten

    The conditioner itself is fine, didn’t do anything revolutionary for my hair. The smell though is awful, it smells like burnt plastic coconut. It even overpowers the scents of any of my styling products. Won’t be repurchasing.

    Don't recommend

    Smells good and it's lightweight but definitely causes hair loss. I'm searching for a new shampoo and conditioner but this one isn't it.

    Hair loss!!

    READ ME!! This made my hair fall out! I know everyone has different hair types but I take great care of my hair but after switching to this my hair started falling out I only used a half of the small bottle and the damage will take a decade to fix it it’s fixable at all. Not worth the risk! I don’t know how this is still on the market.

    Def a miss.

    I do not like this. How does my hair feel so heavy and oily immediately after I put it in my hair but my mids/ends are begging for moisture. Makes my hair super poofy because it’s so dry. The smell is meh.

    Would NOT recommend

    I hated the smell. It smells like a fake coconut scent. It left my hair very greasy but my ends were still dry. I do like their clarifying shampoo and hair mask which smells great and is what prompted me to try this. I will be returning this product and not purchasing again. Very disappointed

    Worsened my thin hair and dry scalp

    I have dry scalp and fine hair, and this product was awful. I was so excited to try this brand line since it’s so popular but it made my hair feel so unhealthy. Never trying this brand again.

    Love love love

    I don’t usually do reviews…BUT…the smell of this conditioner and the shampoo….OMG! I love it! It smells sweet and clean. My husband loves it. I used to used the Ausie brand but now…I love this one. And my scalp feels pretty good. I hope the scent lasts and it doesn’t dry out my scalp like most shampoo/conditioners.

    Left hair greasy

    Wanted to like this shampoo but it left my hair very greasy. I tried using smaller amounts to where I wasn’t using much at all and nothing helped…still greasy. And it’s on the expensive side for a small bottle. So disappointed.

    Not worth the hype

    Heavily fragranced for something that is supposed to be for sensitive scalps. I have not noticed it to be particularly gentle or hydrating. Just trying to get through the bottle as it wasn’t cheap and I’m out of the window to return.

    Like it!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm really enjoying this conditioner. It makes my hair soft and nourished, with a lasting pleasant scent. It's efficient, as you only need a small amount for effective results, showcasing the product's quality. I'll definitely recommend it to others as a great addition to their hair care routine.
