Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! It is explicitly formulated to protect rebonded, permed, bleached, and colored hair. It acts as a shield against daily UV, mechanical, and environmental damage for up to 3 days.
Not at all. It is a highly effective but completely weightless conditioner. It detangles and softens without leaving the heavy, greasy residue that flattens fine hair.
A low-pH conditioner mimics the natural acidity of healthy hair. This forces the hair cuticle to lay perfectly flat and sealed, locking in moisture and creating brilliant, natural shine rather than just masking frizz with artificial coatings.
