How to use it

  1. Apply to wet hair and smooth it through the lengths with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb.
  2. Leave on for 5-10 minutes.
  3. For a deeper treatment, cover with a plastic cap and/or apply heat.
  4. Rinse thoroughly with water.

“Use once a month to keep your strands in their best shape” and also “Use as needed to strengthen, repair, and revive your curls.”

It is an extra step, not your usual conditioner: follow its own directions for when it goes on, how long it stays and what comes after it. Protein or moisture: how to tell which your hair wants .
