REVITALIZING: True Textures Cleansing Cream Conditioning Curl Wash Designed for clients who shampoo frequently, Cleansing Cream Conditioning Curl Wash combines mild cleansing, detangling and moisturizing in one step. The creamy, sulfate-free cleanser gently refreshes hair and scalp with a mild foaming action while adding extra conditioning to soften and revitalize curls in between shampoos and deep conditioning treatments.

RICH: Biolage Exquisite Oil Softening Treatment A few drops of this versatile, rich oil treatment can be applied to hair before shampooing, during conditioning, before styling or as an overnight treatment. Specially formulated to tame, soften and even out coarse, thick or extra-voluminous textures, ExquisiteOil Softening Treatment contains Tahitian Monoi, an exotic blend of gardenia and coconut, as well as linoleic acids to help to reinforce cuticle adhesion, which keeps hair surface smooth and undisturbed.

COMPREHENSIVE: Flawless Cleansing, conditioning and style support combine in this oil, which also detangles, enhances volume, eliminates frizz and cuts blow-dry time. Flawless restores any texture to its optimum condition with a surfactant-free formula that works with hair’s natural oils to replenish vitality, strength and health.

RECONSTRUCTING: Deep Repair Masque A revitalizing hair reconstructor ideally suited to dry, damaged or color-treated hair, Deep Repair Masque penetrates stressed hair to improve elasticity, provide intense hydration and add shine. It’s packed with omega 3, 5, 7, to mimic the scalp’s natural oil production. Hair is left repaired, silky and ultra-conditioned without added weight.

WATERLESS: No-Poo Quick Cleanser This waterless cleanser, targeted for application between routine cleanses, revitalizes curls without wetting them. When sprayed at the base, No-Poo Quick Cleanser invigorates hair and scalp and absorbs just enough oil, odor and sweat to restore curl luster and shine without drying or leaving powdery residue.

FRIZZ-BUSTING: Smoothing Texture-Refine Masque A color-safe, take-home treatment, Smoothing Texture-Refine Masque targets hair prone to frizz because of its texture combined with environmental factors. The masque’s silk protein forms a mesh on hair to smooth the cuticle and moisturize. The client leaves the masque on for five to 10 minutes as the shower’s heat helps the formula to penetrate the hair.

LONG-LASTING: Time Extend Moisture Lotion Dry, dull hair gains shine, smoothness and softness as Time Extend Moisture Lotion provides long-lasting, weightless conditioning and helps the hair to maintain moisture over time. The reborn hydration increases humidity-resistance.

WEARABLE: Potion 9 The “9” refers to the formula’s nine active botanical ingredients with styling technology that creates an advanced “wearable treatment.” Potion 9 is designed to be layered with Sebastian styling products for infinite options; it also can be reapplied to dry hair for texturizing and control.

You may have noticed you’re carrying more types of conditioners than ever. No longer do clients simply cleanse, condition, rinse. Their routine has grown more complex and individualized as they switch up the order of application or layer several conditioners before styling. Some conditioners now serve as a two-in-one replacement for a cleanser; others are not meant to be rinsed out. The foundation of a conditioning product, which at one time was taken for granted to be a cream, today can be an oil, mist or aerosol.

Moisturizing Trends

Among the conditioners that CosmoProf offers this season are many that specifically address the concerns of clients with textured hair:

*Coarse hair that’s had a color service benefits from Wella’s Brilliance Conditioner for Coarse, Colored Hair, which deeply hydrates and nourishes the hair to leave it smooth, soft and shiny.

*Bain De Terre’s Keratin Phyto-Protein Strengthening Conditioner rescues hair exposed to harsh environments by strengthening the hair, repairing damage, restoring luster and guarding against future breakage.

*Safe for keratin-treated hair and versatile enough to use daily or weekly, Aquage’s Sea Extend Silkening Power Infusion works in 60 seconds to repair and silken color-treated hair for a natural feel.

*Texture improves instantly with Paul Mitchell’s Awapuhi Wild Ginger Keratin Intensive Treatment, recommended as a weekly, deep, hydrating conditioner to repair and protect vulnerable hair.

*An intensive leave-in treatment for dry and damaged hair, Goldwell’s Dualsenses Rich Repair Regeneration Serum regenerates hair intensively in just seconds.

*For frequent use, AG’s Keratin Repair Restore Daily Strengthening Conditioner uses keratin amino acids to bond, repair, smooth and protect the hair while adding strength, elasticity, moisture
