How To Use: Shake the bottle before each use. Spray the conditioner onto the tips of your hair. You can use it on wet or dry hair, but wet hair is best.
About The Ingredients:
- Coconut Milk: Coconut milk is rich in fatty acids and helps reduce hair breakage and split ends. It’s an excellent choice for those with damaged or brittle hair.
- Jojoba Oil: This oil is unique because its molecular structure is similar to the oil our scalp naturally produces. It deeply moisturizes the hair without weighing it down, making it an excellent choice for those with thin hair.
- Essential Oils: This ingredient is optional but can add hair-boosting properties and make the leave-in conditioner smell amazing. Here’s a list of essential oils that may promote hair growth!
