Surface Conditioners
Surface conditioners come in cream or
mousse form.
They smooth and coat the cuticle making
the hair look shiny and manageable
They do not get past the cuticle and
cannot re-strengthen the hair.
They are applied after shampooing the
hair, and then rinsed thoroughly.
Penetrating/Treatment Conditioners
There are two types of penetrating conditioner
Restructuring and Moisturising
• Restructuring treatments will help to rebuild
the strength of the cortex by adding protein
• Moisturising treatments replace lost moisture
with oils

Scalp Treatments

moisture,
