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
Moisture Balancing Conditioner is a conditioner from LADOR, aimed at fine hair, straight hair and wavy hair. On the evidence of its ingredient list, the formula works on moisture, frizz control and curl definition. The ingredients doing most of that work are Cetearyl Alcohol, Behentrimonium Chloride and Glycerin. The list runs to 21 ingredients, 7 of which carry a role we recognise for hair.
How it feels on hair
The formula reads as lightweight: humectants lead and there is little in the way of heavy oil or silicone, so it should not weigh fine hair down. The formula leans to moisture rather than protein.
On the scalp
For the scalp itself the formula carries Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract.
Build-up and porosity
Nothing in the list is the kind of ingredient that accumulates on hair. It suits low porosity in particular.
Where it goes
It goes on after shampooing, on the lengths rather than the roots. 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
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.
In short
Working for it
- Nothing that builds up between washes
- Light enough for fine hair
