Design Essentials Almond Butter Express Instant Moisturizing Conditioner 11 oz
Instant is the operative word. This is a light conditioner for the washes when you do not have twenty minutes to sit with a cap on, built from botanical emollients and almond butter rather than from heavy oils.
Almond butter softens and detangles on contact, and the formula seals the cuticle so the moisture you have just added does not walk straight back out. What you get afterwards is body and shine rather than weight, which is unusual in a conditioner this moisturising.
That makes it a sensible everyday conditioner for hair in reasonable shape, and a poor substitute for a treatment if the hair is genuinely damaged. Know which you are dealing with before you buy.
It is mild enough for daily use on any hair type, or weekly if your routine is less frequent. Apply after shampoo, comb through, rinse.
11oz. Keep it for the quick washes and let a deep conditioner handle the longer ones.

Application tips
Built for the quick wash, so treat it as a two-minute step rather than a sit-down. Apply from mid-length to ends on wet hair straight after rinsing the shampoo out.
Comb through while it is on, give it a moment, then rinse. No cap and no heat required. Rinse cool if you can stand it, since cold water helps the cuticle lie flat and holds the shine in.
Results
Hair softens on contact and the comb moves straight through. Nothing needs waiting for, which is the whole point of this one.
After rinsing it feels light, with body at the root and shine along the length rather than the flatness a rich conditioner can leave. Manageable enough to style straight away, and mild enough to use every wash without anything building up.
