Details & care

What it is: A lightweight, everyday rinse-out conditioner that delivers hydration and weightless moisture.

Who it's for: Ideal for all hair types.

What it does: The conditioner is perfect for dry, lifeless hair. It is lightweight in texture, rich in moisture and safe for use on color-treated hair. It helps deliver hydration and weightless moisture to your hair and provides great slip to assist with detangling. The formula smoothes cuticles and leaves your hair feeling soft and nourished.

How to use: Apply in the shower on wet hair, after you have fully rinsed out your shampoo. Rake through your curls to ensure each one is evenly coated. Use your fingers or a brush to gently detangle and remove all knots. Leave on for 1 to 2 minutes, then rinse well and proceed with your styling routine.

Perfect for Dry Climate
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how my curls responded to this conditioner! I live in a very dry climate and struggled to keep my curls moisterized and soft, but this product has helped to restore life to my hair. I highly recommend this conditioner if you are in need of moisture in your hair.

Crispy
Left my hair crispy and dry. Used with the essential moisture shampoo and they took away all curl. Surprised that this was so bad.

The Essential Moisture Conditioner perfectly
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Essential Moisture Conditioner perfectly moisturizes my hair and gives me manageable and lovely curls and waves. Even in a “bad hair day” my hair looks good.

I love the way this

Great moisturizer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I started using this conditioner a couple years ago and at this point I can’t imagine washing my hair without it. I really notice the difference in my waves when I use a different conditioner. Defintirly worth it if you’re looking for consistent, healthy waves!
