Choosing your conditioner

What would a good washing routine be without a conditioner? It's the cake without the cherry, it's Romeo without Juliet, it's Switzerland without its lakes, it's hair without "hair-appeal"...

While shampoo focuses primarily on cleaning the hair, conditioner is there to restore softness and shine. It also helps to facilitate detangling. All of these benefits are very appreciable on hair that has been freshly "stripped" by shampoo (even if the use of gentle surfactants already limits breakage, in every sense of the word).

Conditioner is therefore an invariant of any good hair ritual. It goes straight to the point, with nourishing, moisturizing and repairing active ingredients, all with a much shorter application time than a mask – to be done about twice a month, instead of conditioner.

This is why it is so important to choose a product that matches your hair type, but also your preferences (texture, scent) and your lifestyle (nomadic, express, 2-in-1, etc.).

#1 I choose my conditioner according to its galenic

Who says conditioner is always liquid or one-use?

Of course, that's how most of us have always known it – and therefore continue to search for it. But it's good to know that the offer is growing and that a good surprise is still possible!

Take, for example, solid conditioners. They have the advantage of being economical (no waste if you have trouble measuring out liquid formulas!) and formulated with much less water – which gives them an additional advantage if you are looking for more responsible hair care.

If you are a fan of minimalism, also think about 2-in-1 treatments that combine the benefits of a shampoo and a conditioner. No, it's not a fantasy, and yes, it is sometimes very practical in case of rush. 😊

I want a fluid conditioner

The classic of classics: a fluid and hydrating formula so light that it can even be used as a styling cream!

Ideal for: normal, rather fine hair.

The +: boosted with no less than 18 active ingredients of natural origin.

I want a solid conditioner

An easy-to-grip pebble format to slide over the lengths after shampooing to detangle, strengthen and soften.

Ideal for: hair that tends to be dry and dehydrated.

The +: it is even suitable for children from 3 years old.

I want a 2-in-1 conditioner

It's a shampoo and conditioner at the same time! That's thanks to a smart formula that targets the needs of the roots AND lengths.

Ideal for: dry scalps prone to dandruff, lengths lacking softness.

The +: enriched with provitamin B5 (panthenol), the star vitamin for strengthening hair fiber.

#2 I choose my conditioner according to my hair type

Usually, we're all looking for the same thing: a conditioner that's suitable for dry hair.

And for good reason, our lengths are often "stripped" by the treatments we inflict on them (styling, heating appliances, shampoos that are too strong) and the aggressions to which we expose them (cold, wind, chlorine, sea salt, etc.). All these phenomena deprive them of their natural lipid protection and give them a dry feel, a straw appearance and split ends.

In this sense, yes: nourishing conditioners are universal safe havens! But you still have to think about dosing this level of nutrition. Fine hair, for example, will prefer very light formulas that will preserve its natural volume. Curly hair, on the other hand, lacks more sebum on the surface and will seek out much richer formulas above all.

I have fine hair

Its featherweight formula enriched with wheat protein (a plant-based alternative to keratin) repairs and detangles hair without weighing it down.

Ideal for: tired hair that gets greasy easily.

The +: its 100% natural formula, certified organic (Ecocert).

I have curly hair

A 0% silicone cocktail that prevents breakage and boosts the suppleness of the fiber, for hair that flows like silk.

Ideal for: thick, unruly hair.

The +: its (divine) scent of sage and vanilla.

I have dry hair

The ideal conditioner to restore shine and softness to hair thanks to a generous dosage of + 10 botanical active ingredients.

Ideal for: dull hair with split ends.

The +: its lightning-fast application time (1 to 3 minutes).

I have a sensitive scalp

Intensely moisturizing for the hair, while being formulated without essential oils, silicones, gluten, lactose and soy.

Ideal for: atopic-prone scalps.

The +: it is enriched with colloidal oat powder, known for its soothing effect.

I have colored hair

It has the particularity of being infused with monoï, a treasure of nutrition which repairs the appearance of the hair and preserves the shine of the color.

Ideal for: devitalized, colored or highlighted hair.

The +: to be used in duo with the shampoo from the same range for visible benefits.

#3 I choose my conditioner according to my hair desires

Sometimes we have a very specific idea of what we want. We see our hair looking duller than usual, so we go looking for shine-boosting treatments. Or we know all too well that it tends to lose its volume two days after shampooing – and here, all that's left to do is rely on a formula that's hydrating, yes, but above all, lightweight.

Colored hair requires deeper care to improve the appearance of the hair fiber, which is generally more porous. Purple treatments, in particular, are great classics for blonde hair, because they allow it to maintain cool and luminous highlights far from the hairdresser's appointment or its next patina. Be careful, however, to respect the application time and not to systematically use this type of conditioner (alternate with a restorative conditioner without pigments).

In short, there’s a dedicated conditioner for every desire!

I dream of a polar leap

A yellowing treatment with 97% ingredients of natural origin, designed to correct unwanted highlights in just 5 minutes.

The +: 99.3% ingredients of natural origin, including several from organic farming.

And do leave-in conditioners exist?

Yes! These are called leave-ins. They are used after the shower, on still damp hair, as a replacement for traditional conditioner. A real time saver for those of us in a hurry, because these products do not require any setting time or rinsing. But if you have dry hair, the best thing to do is to combine classic conditioner + leave-in. 😉
