What this product is

Written from the ingredient list. Where it describes how a formula behaves, that is inferred from what the ingredients are and where they sit in the list, not measured.

Overview

Honey & Macadamia Treatment is a treatments from Kundal, aimed at wavy hair, curly hair and medium hair. On the evidence of its ingredient list, the formula works on moisture, frizz control and shine. The ingredients doing most of that work are Cetyl Alcohol, Dimethicone and Behentrimonium Chloride. The list runs to 79 ingredients, 34 of which carry a role we recognise for hair.

How it feels on hair

By the balance of its ingredients the formula reads as neither especially rich nor especially light. It contains Dimethicone and Amodimethicone. Silicones smooth the cuticle and cut frizz on contact; they are also what a clarifying wash is for, because they do not rinse out with a mild shampoo. The formula leans to moisture rather than protein.

Protein

It carries a moderate amount of protein — Hydrolyzed Collagen, Hydrolyzed Keratin, Hydrolyzed Silk and Hydrolyzed SOY Protein — enough to firm up damaged lengths without dominating the formula.

On the scalp

For the scalp itself the formula carries Panthenol. On an oily scalp the richer ingredients here can read as greasy at the roots.

Build-up and porosity

Several ingredients here stay on the hair between washes — Dimethicone, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter and Polyquaternium-10 — so on low-porosity or fine hair this is a formula that will want a clarifying wash from time to time.

Where it goes

It is a treatment step: after shampooing, left on, then rinsed out. After using shampoo. Squeeze the water from the hair. Apply suitable amount on hair and massage gently for a 3 to 5 minutes. Rinse off with lukewarm water.

What it is not for

Nothing in this formula is aimed at scalp soothing, oil control, volume / lightweight and color protection — not a fault, just the shape of what is in the bottle, and the reason one product rarely covers a whole routine. No ingredient here is one we recognise as supporting hair growth. Reducing breakage and growing hair are different things, and this formula's evidence is for the first.

Working for it

  • No sulfate detergents
