Piur London Reactive Pro Conditioner Home Care (250 ml) is the every-wash conditioner of the Reactive Pro home routine: for anyone keeping a smoothing or straightening service in shape between salon visits, whether it was Piur London's Reactive Pro or another brand's. It goes on lengths and ends after shampooing and is rinsed. Piur London describes its ImmunityBlend technology as shielding the fibre against moisture and degradation, for natural shine and softness.

Why a smoothing service needs a daily conditioner

A smoothing service calms frizz and cuticle lift in the chair; the home routine is what holds that surface between visits, so humidity and daily styling do not undo it wash by wash. The conditioner is the daily part of that job. Its listed actives, avocado, pracaxi oil, ginger, algae, a protein blend and hyaluronate, are what Piur London groups under ImmunityBlend. It is not a leave-in: it goes on after shampooing and is rinsed out.

Key ingredients

• Avocado extract.
• Pracaxi (Pentaclethra) oil.
• Ginger extract.
• Algae extract.
• Hydrolysed protein blend: the source is not named.
• Hyaluronate: a humectant.

What to expect

Softer lengths with more shine between salon visits.

Who it is for

• Anyone maintaining a smoothing or straightening service at home, Piur London's or another brand's
• Clients leaving the salon after Reactive Pro Smooth Therapy

Who it is not for

• A leave-in: it is rinsed after use
• The scalp: lengths and ends only
• A substitute for the mask when the fibre needs a heavier dose

Professional tip

After a smoothing service, home care starts once the stylist's first-wash wait is over; the stylist says when.

How to use

Two ways to read it: Piur London's directions, and the advice we would give a client for using it at home.

Method A: manufacturer method

1. Apply to lengths and ends after shampooing.
2. Rinse.

Method B: our advice for home use

1. After shampooing, squeeze the water out of the lengths. Our advice to pass on to the client.
2. Lengths and ends, then rinse.
3. Comb it through with a wide-tooth comb in the shower so every strand is coated.
4. On the week the mask is used, mask first, then this conditioner to close the wash.
