What it is

This is the home-care conditioner of the Carnival range, made to soften and protect hair after a smoothing service or any chemical process. It follows the Carnival shampoo in the routine, wrapping the lengths in intense nutrition so treated hair stays soft, detangled and shiny. Its low, acidic pH of 3.0 to 3.5 helps keep the cuticle smooth and closed, which is exactly what you want when you are trying to hold on to a sleek, frizz-controlled finish for as long as possible.

Key ingredients

Brazil nut oil - rich, nourishing oil that softens and adds shine to treated hair.
Macadamia oil - emollient nourishment that smooths and improves slip.
Collagen - supports softness and a healthier feel along the strand.
Silk and wheat amino acids - replenish and help condition the fibre.

What you can expect

Expect hair that feels soft, detangled and supple, with more slip through the lengths and a smooth, glossy finish. Because it is designed as post-chemical care, it is a natural fit after a Carnival smoothing service: nourishing conditioning is one of the best ways to keep treated hair comfortable and to help prolong a smoothing result. Over regular use, hair should feel more manageable and look shinier, with frizz easier to control day to day. It cares for the hair you have; it does not smooth or straighten on its own.

Who it is for

Anyone maintaining a Carnival smoothing or other chemical service who wants to prolong the result.
Chemically treated, coloured or highlighted hair that needs softening and detangling.
All hair types looking for softness, slip and everyday manageability.
Those who want a nourishing conditioner to pair with the Carnival Shampoo.

Professional recommendation

After cleansing with the Carnival Shampoo, squeeze out excess water and apply the conditioner mainly to the mid-lengths and ends rather than the scalp, so hair stays soft without feeling weighed down. Comb it through with a wide-tooth comb for even distribution, leave it to work, then rinse well - a cool final rinse helps seal the cuticle for extra shine. Keep washing gentle and go easy on daily heat styling to help the smooth finish last.

How to use

After shampoo, apply a sufficient amount over the entire length of wet hair.
Leave it on for 5 minutes.
Rinse well.

Safety: Keep out of reach of children. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth and mucous membranes. Protect from light, excessive heat and humidity. Discontinue use if any sensitivity occurs. The full ingredient list is printed on the bottle.

Frequently asked questions

Does this conditioner help maintain and extend my Carnival smoothing result?

Yes. It is a gentle, post-chemical home-care conditioner made to look after smoothed and treated hair. Its acidic pH of 3.0 to 3.5 helps keep the cuticle smooth and closed, and it nourishes and softens the lengths, which supports a longer-lasting result. Paired with the Carnival Shampoo and gentle washing, it helps your smoothing stay soft and glossy for longer.

How do I use it, and how often?

Use it after every shampoo. Squeeze out excess water, apply over the length of wet hair, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends, leave for 5 minutes, then rinse well. It is gentle enough for regular use. Keeping it off the scalp helps hair stay soft without feeling weighed down, and a cool final rinse adds extra shine.

Can I use it on coloured or bleached hair?

Yes. It is a gentle, nourishing conditioner that suits coloured, highlighted and bleached hair as part of everyday care. Because it softens and detangles rather than stripping, it is a good match for hair that has been chemically processed. If your hair is very fragile, apply mainly to the lengths and ends and comb through gently to avoid stress on the fibre.

Do I need the shampoo too?

Using the matching Carnival Shampoo first is recommended for the best results. The shampoo cleanses and nourishes, while this conditioner adds softness, slip and frizz control on the mid-lengths and ends. Together they make a simple home-care routine that keeps treated hair supple and glossy and helps maintain a smoothing result between salon visits.

Who should avoid this conditioner?

It is not vegan, as it contains collagen and silk and wheat amino acids, and it contains silicones. Anyone who prefers to avoid silicones, the preservative methylchloroisothiazolinone / methylisothiazolinone, or fragrance allergens such as linalool and alpha-isomethyl ionone may want to skip it. If you have a known sensitivity, check the full ingredient list printed on the bottle first, and stop use if any irritation occurs.

Is it suitable for all hair types, and will it weigh hair down?

It suits all hair types and is especially good for chemically treated, smoothed or coloured hair that needs nourishment. To avoid weighing hair down, apply it to the mid-lengths and ends rather than the scalp, and use a little less on fine hair. Thicker or drier hair can enjoy a more generous amount through the lengths for extra softness.
