Elasticity is the quiet number behind most breakage. Hair with good elasticity stretches when a comb catches and springs back. Hair without it tears at that exact moment, which is why so much damage happens on wash day rather than during the week.

  • Almond and avocado oils for conditioning that lasts past the rinse
  • Improves elasticity, so combing pulls without tearing
  • Makes wash day detangling quick instead of a fight
  • Builds up with weekly use rather than working once

It is a weekly treatment rather than a daily conditioner, and it goes deeper than one because highly textured hair loses moisture faster than a rinse-through can replace it. Over a few weeks the hair reads stronger and more supple and takes a shine again. The 12oz tub is aimed at natural, curly and coily hair that has gone dry and is breaking at the ends.

Application tips

Shampoo first, then blot. A masque applied over conditioner or onto dripping hair cannot get anywhere near the cortex.

Apply thickly in four sections, concentrating on the ends and the oldest hair. Cover with a cap and add warmth from a hooded dryer, a warm towel, or simply your own body heat under the cap for a while. Rinse cool, and skip your usual conditioner afterwards.

Results

Straight out of the rinse the hair feels substantially different. Heavier, softer, with real stretch in it when you pull a strand. Brittle ends stop feeling like straw.

The change builds. One use is pleasant, a month of weekly use is what shifts hair that has been snapping under the comb into hair that bends and holds. Shine returns along the length rather than only at the top.

Composition

Almond Oil
Softens dry, brittle lengths and helps them bend rather than tear
Avocado Oil
Restores moisture deep enough that it lasts past the rinse
