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
Non-Silicone Conditioner is a conditioner from SALON LINK, 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 Stearyl Alcohol, Hydrogenated Mineral Oil and Cetyl Alcohol. The list runs to 22 ingredients, 15 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. There are no silicones in the list. The formula leans to moisture rather than protein.
Protein
There is a small amount of protein in the list: Arginine and Hydrolyzed Silk.
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
A few ingredients here stay on the hair between washes (Polyquaternium-10, Polyquaternium-7 and Butyrospermum Parkii Butter), which is worth knowing if you wash rarely or use a mild shampoo.
Where it goes
It goes on after shampooing, on the lengths rather than the roots. After shampooing, take an appropriate amount of product and apply evenly throughout the hair. Massage gently, then rinse thoroughly with 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.
