Rene Furterer introduces Karité Intense Overnight Nourishing Treatment Leave-In for very dry, damaged hair that requires intensive repair. This treatment delivers 8 hours of intense nutrition and deep-down repair to hair while you sleep to restore soft, shiny and supple hair. Combined with phospholipids, proprietary Cimentrio and breakthrough anti-breakage complex Elastifiber, the nighttime leave-in restructures, protects and reinforces hair - and won’t stain your pillow!
Furthermore, Rene Furterer is proud to partner with the Societé Toussiana Karité Comestibles & Cosmétiques (SOTOKACC) women’s collective in Burkina Faso in Africa, renowned for producing pure, solvent-free, additive-free Shea butter in the legendary African tradition. The “green gold” of Burkina Faso is the foundation of the new Karité Intense Overnight Nourishing Treatment leave-in.
FEATURES:
A nighttime leave-in treatment that provides 8 hours of intense, long-lasting nutrition to restore suppleness, softness and natural protective mechanisms to the driest, most damaged hair types.
Helps to bring back elasticity to hair, making hair stronger, less brittle and easy to style.
Fairtrade Ethical Shea (Karité) butter – long known for its incomparable wealth of nutrients – is naturally rich in highly nourishing essential fatty acids and vitamins.
Sensual Orange Blossom infusion delicately scents tresses to awaken the senses.
Rich, non-oily texture melts into hair, becoming imperceptible on strands, and rapid penetration prevents pillow stains.
