Augustinus Bader The Conditioner

Impossibly lightweight, shine-boosting, hair-strengthening conditioner  / 5 oz Augustinus Bader The Conditioner is one of those products that prompts awe from the first time you use it. It is the lightest-weight conditioner on our shelves, yet it moisturizes, detangles, and de-frizzes even thick, dry strands hair as well as a hair mask would (incidentally, it doubles as a hair mask, too). The Bader team notes that the brand’s proprietary and somewhat mysterious TFC8 — a patented blend of 40+ ingredients that’s in every Bader product — turns The Conditioner into a smarter, more adaptive formula that more effectively addresses individualized hair concerns. Is this why its formula seems to work magic on the hair? We’re not exactly sure, but what we do know is that we’re not crazy for thinking that it does, because it’s got some fantastic clinical studies to back it up. In a clinical study that ran for 12 weeks with men and women of a wide variety of hair types, The Conditioner was shown to increase hair’s smoothness by 160%, shine by 131%, and strength by 118%. It even increased hair count by 20%, thanks to follicle-stimulating TFC8 — so while you can apply The Conditioner as one normally would just to your hair’s mid-shaft and ends, you can go ahead and massage it into your scalp, too, to make the most of its scalp-stimulating potential. Our whole team loves this fragrance-free, silicone-free, vegan, impossibly lightweight conditioner that really does suit all hair types. Paired with The Shampoo (another team favorite), it's particularly stellar.PS Its tube is 100% recyclable, made from sugar cane, with a 100% recyclable cap.
