How it works

Hair is at its most swollen and open right after shampooing, which is when it tangles and roughens. This conditioner works on the acidic side (pH 3.0 to 3.5) to help the cuticle lie flat again, so strands feel smooth and slip apart instead of catching. Myrrh oil and sweet almond oil soften and add shine, arginine supports softness and manageability, and conditioning agents give the slip that makes wet detangling easy. Because it conditions without weighing hair down, it suits fine and thick hair alike and fits into frequent washing. Over time, keeping the cuticle smooth also helps reduce the tugging and mid-wash breakage that rough, tangled hair is prone to.

Key ingredients

Myrrh oil & sweet almond oil: conditioning botanicals that soften and add shine.
Arginine: an amino acid that supports softness and manageability.
Behentrimonium chloride: a conditioning agent that detangles and smooths the lengths.
Cyclopentasiloxane: a lightweight silicone that adds slip and a silky finish.
Paraben-free and vegan: gentle, colour-friendly conditioning.

What to expect

After conditioning, hair rinses clean but stays soft, with less tangling and a smoother, shinier surface. The acidic formula helps the cuticle stay flat, which supports shine and helps colour and keratin or smoothing results look fresher between salon visits. It conditions the lengths without a heavy coating, so hair still has movement and body. Wet combing is easier and gentler, and wet hair is when strands are most fragile, so there is less snapping and fewer split-looking ends. This is cosmetic care for how the hair looks and feels; it is not a structural repair for damage.

How to use

After shampooing, squeeze out excess water. Apply the conditioner through the mid-lengths and ends, avoiding the roots if your hair is fine. Leave for about 5 minutes, then rinse well. Use it at every wash, following the Restorative Shampoo. For a deeper weekly treatment, swap in the Restorative Mask in place of the conditioner once or twice a week. For extra slip on very tangled hair, comb it through gently with the conditioner still in, then rinse.

Safety: For external use. If your scalp is sensitive, patch-test first and check the ingredient list. This formula contains fragrance allergens (alpha-isomethyl ionone, d-limonene, linalool) and isothiazolinone preservatives; discontinue use if irritation occurs. Avoid contact with the eyes, and rinse well with water if contact occurs. Keep out of reach of children, and store away from light, excessive heat and humidity.

Who it is for

Anyone with dry, coloured or chemically treated hair who wants smooth, easy-to-comb lengths.
Those maintaining a keratin or smoothing treatment who want gentle, acidic conditioning.
Anyone looking for a paraben-free, vegan conditioner in a compact or travel size.
Fine and thick hair alike, since it conditions without heaviness.
Anyone who washes often and wants a lightweight everyday conditioner that will not build up.

Who it is not for

Anyone who wants a rich, deep weekly treatment (the Restorative Mask is the better choice for that).
Anyone looking for a leave-in; this conditioner is rinsed out.

Compatibility

This conditioner is Step 3 of the La Vie en Rose restorative routine. Use it after the Restorative Shampoo at every wash, and once or twice a week swap in the Restorative Mask for a deeper treatment in its place. Finish the lengths with the La Vie en Rose Serum as a leave-in, and lean on the routine to maintain the results of the Brazilian Vegan Protein smoothing treatment or to keep coloured hair looking fresh. If you would rather buy the wash-and-treat steps together, the Restorative Home Care Trio Kit brings the shampoo, conditioner and mask into one set.

Frequently asked questions

What does the conditioner do, and how does it work?

It is the acidic conditioning step that follows the shampoo. Working on the acidic side (pH 3.0 to 3.5), it helps the cuticle lie flat so hair feels smooth and detangles easily. Myrrh oil, sweet almond oil and arginine soften and add shine, while conditioning agents give slip. It leaves the lengths soft and manageable without weighing them down.

How do I use it, and how often?

After shampooing, squeeze out excess water and apply the conditioner through the mid-lengths and ends, keeping it off the roots if your hair is fine. Leave it for about 5 minutes, then rinse well. Use it at every wash, after the Restorative Shampoo. Once or twice a week you can swap in the Restorative Mask for a deeper treatment instead.

Is it paraben-free and vegan?

Yes. The conditioner is paraben-free and vegan, which is why it carries the 'Paraben-Free' name. The gentle formula suits coloured and chemically treated hair. If you are avoiding specific ingredients, check the full list on the label before use, since it does contain fragrance allergens and preservatives common to rinse-off conditioners.

Can I use it on coloured or keratin-treated hair?

Yes, that is exactly what it is made for. The acidic pH helps the cuticle stay flat, which keeps colour looking fresher and supports the results of a keratin or Brazilian smoothing treatment. Gentle conditioning after each wash helps treated hair stay soft and manageable without the heaviness that can shorten a smooth finish.

How is the 250ml different from the 1000ml?

Only the size differs. The 250ml is the compact home-care and travel format, while the 1000ml is the salon and value size for frequent users or households. The formula, pH and how you use it are the same in both, so choose the size that matches how much you go through.

Is there anything to know before using it?

The formula contains fragrance allergens (alpha-isomethyl ionone, d-limonene and linalool) and isothiazolinone preservatives, so if your scalp is sensitive, patch-test first and check the label. Keep it away from the eyes and rinse with water if contact occurs. Keep out of reach of children and store away from light, heat and humidity.
