Rosemary and peppermint give this conditioner its cooling tingle, and that sensation is most of the reason people reach for it. On a scalp that has been under braids or a wig for a fortnight, cold and fresh is exactly what you want.

Underneath the sensation it is a properly moisturising rinse-out. Panthenol, also known as pro-vitamin B5, works into the shaft and improves elasticity and moisture retention, which for coily and afro-textured hair means the strand bends instead of breaking. Less breakage under a comb is how length gets kept.

  • Deeply moisturises and detangles coily and afro-textured hair
  • Leaves a cooling, refreshed feel on the scalp
  • Improves elasticity, so hair snaps less from 2C through 4C
  • Finishes soft and bouncy rather than coated

11oz, salon-grade, used after shampoo. Work it through the lengths and into the scalp, leave a few minutes to let the panthenol do its work, then rinse.

Application tips

Ends up, not roots down. Apply after shampooing, working a little into the scalp as well, since that is where the cooling happens. Comb through while it is on.

Give it a few quiet minutes under a cap if you have them. On very dry hair, add warmth. Rinse under water as cool as you can stand, which helps the cuticle close and holds the shine in.

Results

The cooling tingle arrives first and lasts a couple of minutes, which on a scalp that has been under a wig or braids is the reason most people buy it.

Underneath that, coily hair comes out genuinely moisturised. Softer, bouncier, easier to comb, with the strand giving rather than snapping when it meets a tangle. Nothing is left coated.
