Designed for daily use, this 3.4 fl oz treatment combines plant-derived proteins and nourishing oils to strengthen strands, reduce breakage and provide thermal protection up to 450°F.

How quickly will I see improvement in broken or fragile hair?

Visible improvement in breakage and manageability can appear within a week when used daily alongside routine grooming. The blend of quinoa and soy proteins helps fortify hair fiber, while macadamia oil smooths the cuticle for easier combing.

• Reduces breakage by up to 90% in one week when used daily in a repeat grooming study**
• Instant detangling on damp hair for smoother styling
• Protein-rich ingredients help strengthen weakened areas along the shaft

Does this product protect hair from heat styling and how should I apply it?

Yes — the leave-in cream helps protect against thermal damage up to 450°F when applied correctly. Work a small amount through damp hair, comb to distribute evenly, and proceed to blow-dry or style without rinsing.

• Apply to towel-dried hair for best coverage
• Use a pea-sized amount for short hair; increase for longer or thicker hair
• Comb through to ensure even protection before heat styling

What ingredients are responsible for repair and nourishment?

The formula relies on plant-based proteins and oils rather than heavy silicones or mineral oils. Quinoa and soy proteins help reinforce the hair’s structure, while macadamia oil smooths and adds slip for less friction and breakage during styling.

• Quinoa protein: strengthens and builds resilience
• Soy protein: supports hair fiber integrity
• Macadamia oil: moisturizes and reduces friction for easier detangling

Will it weigh down fine hair or leave a residue?

The cream is formulated to be lightweight and non-greasy when used sparingly. Start with a small amount, focusing on mid-lengths and ends; adjust quantity based on hair density to avoid buildup.

• Light-touch application prevents excess weight
• Designed for daily use without heavy residue when applied correctly
• Comb-distribution helps thinly coat strands for balanced finish
