Key Ingredients:
Olive Oil: Moisturizing agent that penetrates the hair shaft while its rich emollients help to retain moisture in the hair by reaching the cortex and moisturizing from within. Improves the elasticity of the hair, conditions the hair and scalp and is beneficial for dry, thick and multi-processed hair.
Monoi Oil: The unique blend of Coconut Oil and Tiare Gardenia Flowers help repair fine and chemically-treated hair. The moisture provided by this unique blend helps in reversing damage and preventing future damage caused by thermal styling.
Shea Butter: Natural conditioner derived from the nut of the Shea – Karite tree found in the tropics of East and West Africa. Its intense moisturizing properties are a rich source of vitamins and fatty acids that improves the health of the hair and promotes a healthy scalp. Seals in moisture and reduces dryness and breakage, resulting in healthier hair.
