Extreme Repair Conditioner 300ml - Cadiveu Brasil Cacau is the step-two conditioner of the Brasil Cacau Extreme Repair line, made for damaged hair: a rinse-off conditioner you leave on for two minutes so cocoa seed butter, hydrolyzed soy protein and cationic conditioning agents can coat the fibre, detangle the lengths and leave them soft and silky. It follows the Extreme Repair Shampoo at every wash, before the weekly Extreme Repair Mask. It carries no keratin and no smoothing active: it conditions the surface of damaged hair, in a 300ml bottle.

Why the Extreme Repair Conditioner

Damaged hair tangles, and a wash on its own leaves the cuticle rough. This is the step that puts the slip back. Left on damp hair for two minutes, cocoa seed butter (Theobroma Cacao), hydrolyzed soy protein and cationic conditioning agents (cetrimonium chloride, behentrimonium methosulfate, amodimethicone) coat the fibre, so porous, brittle lengths comb through without snapping and come out soft and silky rather than dry. It is the everyday partner to the Extreme Repair Shampoo, used at every wash; the deeper, weekly treatment is the Extreme Repair Mask. The three are sold together as the Extreme Repair Kit.

Key Ingredients

The conditioning story sits on cocoa seed butter (Theobroma Cacao) and hydrolyzed soy protein for softness on damaged hair, cationic agents (cetrimonium chloride, behentrimonium methosulfate) that neutralise the static charge on the cuticle so the hair detangles, and silicones (dimethicone, amodimethicone) that lay down slip and shine along the lengths. The cationic peptides named on the front are the plant-derived soy protein in the formula; there is no keratin and no animal-derived input. It carries no smoothing active: it conditions the surface, it does not straighten the hair.

What to Expect

Hair combs out easily straight after the two-minute step, and the lengths feel soft, silky and less prone to tangling. Because the conditioning agents stay behind on the fibre, damaged, porous hair feels smoother and looks shinier out of the shower rather than dry and rough. It is the everyday conditioning step of the repair routine, so the effect is soft, manageable hair each wash rather than a deep treatment on its own: the deeper repair builds when the mask is added once a week. Over time, that steady routine is what keeps damaged hair looking and feeling healthier.

Who It Is For

• Dry, damaged, over-processed or brittle hair that tangles and needs slip after washing
• Anyone following the three-step Extreme Repair routine and using it at every wash
• Coloured or chemically treated hair that wants softness and easy combing back

Who It Is Not For

• A client who wants a silicone-free conditioner, which this one is not
• Very fine hair that goes limp under a rich conditioner and prefers a lighter rinse-out
• Anyone who leaves it a heartbeat on the palm before rinsing and expects a deep mask result from it

Professional tip: work it through the mid-lengths and ends, not the scalp, comb it through so every strand is coated, and give it the full two minutes before rinsing. Use it after the Extreme Repair Shampoo at every wash, and swap in the Extreme Repair Mask once a week for the deeper step.

How to Use

Run a sensitivity test before first use. After washing with the Extreme Repair Shampoo, apply the conditioner to damp hair, distributing it through the mid-lengths and ends. Massage in, leave for two minutes, then rinse with plenty of water. Use it at every wash; add the Extreme Repair Mask once a week or as needed.

Where It Fits in Your Repair Routine

The Extreme Repair Conditioner is step two of the Extreme Repair routine, the damaged-hair line within the Brasil Cacau home care range. Wash with the Extreme Repair Shampoo, follow with this conditioner at every wash, and add the Extreme Repair Mask once a week for the deeper treatment. The three are sold together as the Extreme Repair Kit. It suits damaged hair maintaining a smoothing done with any of the Brasil Cacau smoothing systems as much as damaged hair on its own.

In Short

• Step two of the Brasil Cacau Extreme Repair line for damaged hair, in a 300ml bottle
• A two-minute cocoa-butter and soy-protein conditioner with cationic agents, for detangling, softness and slip
• The everyday step of the routine; follow the shampoo at every wash and add the mask once a week
• Not silicone-free; no keratin (plant soy protein); a conditioner, not a smoothing
