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

Wonder Tear is a conditioner from LADOR, 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 Dimethicone, Cetearyl Alcohol and Behentrimonium Chloride. The list runs to 32 ingredients, 9 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

There is a small amount of protein in the list: Hydrolyzed Silk and Arginine.

Build-up and porosity

Several ingredients here stay on the hair between washes — Dimethicone and Amodimethicone — 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 goes on after shampooing, on the lengths rather than the roots. Apply a moderate amount from scalp to tip, lather, and massage for 50 seconds. 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.

In short

Working for it

Worth knowing
