Baxter of California Fortifying Conditioner 16 oz — Lightweight, Strengthening Mint Formula for Fuller-Looking Hair

Baxter of California Fortifying Conditioner is a lightweight, strengthening conditioner that detangles, hydrates, and helps plump fine or thinning hair for fuller-looking results.

This conditioner is formulated to be the finishing step in a fortifying hair routine, blending pea sprout, rice protein, basil root and coconut extract to support hair resilience while leaving a fresh mint scent. Use it after cleansing to restore manageability, reduce breakage from combing and add a subtle lift to weak strands without weighing hair down. The 16-ounce size makes it a practical choice for at-home care and routines shared across bathroom sinks.

How does this conditioner help hair feel thicker and stronger?

The formula contains hydrolyzed wheat and rice proteins and pea sprout extract which temporarily increase strand diameter and reinforce hair fiber structure. Regular use after the matching fortifying shampoo helps hair appear denser and less prone to snap when styling or brushing. It also deposits moisture and smoothing agents to reduce friction and breakage.

• Hydrolyzed wheat and rice proteins to increase strand body
• Pea sprout and basil root extracts for resilience support
• Lightweight emollients glaze strands without flattening

Will it detangle and make styling easier?

Yes — the conditioner’s conditioning agents and cetearyl alcohol help smooth cuticles and reduce knots so combing requires less force. That means less mechanical damage from brushes and a quicker styling routine. For best results, apply to mid-lengths and ends, then comb through and rinse or leave for a short boost.

• Detangling polymers for easier comb-through
• Glycerin and coconut extract for slip and hydration
• Works well with heat styling when hair is protected and dry

How should I use it for maximum effect?

After cleansing with Baxter of California Daily Fortifying Shampoo, squeeze out excess water and distribute a quarter-sized amount through mid-lengths to ends. For deeper conditioning, leave the product on for 2–3 minutes before rinsing thoroughly. Use consistently as part of a twice-weekly or as-needed routine to maintain improved texture and manageability.

• Apply to clean, damp hair—focus on mid-lengths and ends
• Leave 2–3 minutes for deeper conditioning, then rinse
• Pair with the fortifying shampoo for a complete strengthening system

What sensory experience and scent should I expect?

The conditioner offers a cooling mint sensation on the scalp and a clean, fresh fragrance that lingers lightly after rinsing. Texture-wise it’s lightweight and creamy, designed to spread easily without leaving greasy residue. Color additives give it a mild tint, but they do not affect performance.

• Invigorating mint for a refreshing in-shower feel
• Light, non-greasy cream texture for easy application
• Subtle lingering clean scent after rinsing

Who this is for: This 16-ounce Fortifying Conditioner is intended for people looking to strengthen fragile, thinning or fine hair without heavyweight conditioning. It suits all hair types that need detangling, subtle volume and improved manageability—especially those using a complementary fortifying shampoo. Ideal for anyone wanting a salon-feel finish at home, and it also makes a thoughtful, practical gift when paired with other Baxter of California essentials.

• Moisturizes and leaves hair shiny and smooth
• Invigorating mint sensation for a fresh wash
• Suitable for all hair types, especially fine or weakened hair
• Great gift when paired with Daily Fortifying Shampoo and body essentials
