Hair food is a category that confuses people, so it is worth saying plainly what this is. A leave-on moisturiser in a jelly texture, sold in a 250ml jar, that goes on hair and scalp rather than being rinsed out like a conditioner.

The jelly format is the practical part. You scoop what you need, which gives far more control than a bottle does, and the texture melts down between the palms rather than sitting on the surface in lumps. Coconut and avocado oils do the conditioning work, softening dry-feeling hair and putting sheen back into lengths that have gone flat.

On the scalp it is used the same way, a small amount worked in with fingertips, which soothes the feel of dryness and tightness without the greasiness of a heavy oil.

It suits anyone who moisturises between wash days rather than only on wash day, and anyone whose scalp needs attention alongside the hair. Take less than you think you need to start with. A jelly spreads further than it looks.

Application tips

Damp hair takes it best, so this belongs in the ten minutes after a shower rather than last thing at night.

Use a fingertip's worth at a time and press it in from the ends upwards, adding more only where the hair still feels dry. For the scalp, part into a few rows and place it straight onto the skin, then work in small circles. Comb through while the hair is still soft.

Results

Hair that felt dry turns soft within a few minutes and holds it for a day or two rather than an hour.

The jelly melts down to almost nothing, so there is weight without grease, and flat lengths pick up sheen instead of a shine that sits on the surface. Scalp skin feels comfortable rather than tight. Styling is easier the next morning, since the hair has stayed pliable overnight.

Composition

Coconut Oil
Softens dry hair and slows how quickly that softness disappears
Avocado Oil
