Shea Moisture Low Porosity Weightless Hydrating Conditioner 13 oz / 384 ml - For Low Porosity & Protein-Sensitive Hair
Protein-free is the headline here, and it is the reason this conditioner exists. Plenty of curl conditioners lean on hydrolysed proteins for strength. If your hair is protein-sensitive, those same formulas leave it stiff, straw-like and prone to snapping, and no amount of extra conditioner fixes it.
This one skips protein entirely and works on moisture instead. The texture is creamy enough to detangle in the shower but light enough that low porosity hair, which struggles to take anything in, is not left with a film on it afterwards. Curls keep their bounce rather than dropping under the weight, and the 13 oz / 384 ml bottle is enough for a couple of months of weekly washes.
Pair it with the matching Low Porosity Weightless Hydrating Shampoo if you want the full routine. Suits type 2 waves through 3b curls, and it is a sensible first move if your hair has been reacting badly to protein treatments.

Application tips
Warm water helps here. Low porosity hair takes product in more readily when the cuticle has been softened, so wash with the water a touch warmer than usual and apply this straight away.
A small amount, emulsified between wet palms, spread thinly. Comb it through, leave it two minutes, then rinse properly. Piling more on does not get more in.
Results
Tangles let go in the shower and hair feels smooth rather than slick. Nothing is left behind once it is rinsed, so curls keep their spring instead of dropping under a coating by the afternoon. Hair that usually stiffens after a protein treatment stays soft here instead.
