Mielle Babassu & Mint Deep Conditioner 8oz
Protein first, moisture second. That is the trade you are making with this one, and it is worth knowing before the tub is open.
The amino acid complex comes from wheat and soy, and its job is to firm up a strand that has gone soft and overstretched. Hair already carrying plenty of protein will come out feeling stiff, so run it in rotation with a moisture mask rather than every wash. Babassu oil is the carrier, a light tropical butter that melts at body temperature and conditions without the density shea brings. Acai and pracaxi oils sit alongside it, and the rosemary, lavender, geranium, sage and peppermint blend at the end of the list is where the cool finish comes from. A good number of the ingredients are certified organic.
Method matters here more than usual. Shampoo, split the hair into four sections, apply root to tip on damp hair, cover with a plastic cap for fifteen minutes, or thirty under a dryer if the hair is stubborn. Rinse cold.
8oz, and suited to type 2a through 3c. If your hair has gone limp and refuses to hold a style, this is the bottle that usually explains why.

Application tips
Two heaped fingerfuls per section is enough on medium hair, more if it is dense. Squeeze each section out first, because water in the hair dilutes it and you end up using twice as much.
Once a month suits most people, or every third wash if the hair has been bleached. Do not stack it against another protein product in the same week.
Results
Limp, overstretched hair firms up and holds a curl again instead of dropping flat within the hour. Frizz and flyaways settle down.
A cool tingle spreads over the scalp while it sits, and the mint scent hangs about after the rinse. Expect a slightly firmer feel on the day, softening back by the next wash.
