Design Essentials Agave and Lavender Moisturizing & Detangling Conditioner 12oz is an ultra-hydrating, sulphate-free conditioner that softens, detangles and strengthens textured natural hair for smoother blowouts and healthier styling.
Key Benefits for Natural, Curly and Coily Hair
This moisturizing and detangling conditioner from the Agave & Lavender Blow-Dry & Silk Press collection is specifically formulated for textured, curly, coily and wavy hair types that need intensive hydration and effortless slip for pain-free detangling. The formula infuses each strand with deep, lasting moisture using a blend of natural agave, lavender oils, mango fruit butters and antioxidants, transforming dry, tangled hair into soft, smooth and manageable strands ready for blow-drying or air-drying.
One of the standout properties of this conditioner is its ability to increase the tensile strength of the hair shaft. This means your strands become more resistant to stretching and snapping, which is particularly important during blow-drying, flat-ironing and silk press styling, where heat and tension can cause significant damage. By strengthening the hair from within whilst simultaneously providing superior moisture, this conditioner creates the ideal foundation for heat styling without the usual compromise of dryness and breakage.
The conditioning formula also repairs damaged cuticles, smoothing the outer layer of each strand to reduce friction, eliminate frizz and create a polished, glass-like finish. For those who regularly straighten or blow-dry their natural hair, this conditioner is an essential prep step that ensures your style lasts longer, moves more freely and maintains a healthy, luminous sheen throughout the week.
Beyond heat styling, this conditioner is equally effective as a rinse-out treatment for wash-and-go styles, twist-outs and protective styles. The intense slip makes sectioning and detangling effortless, reducing the manipulation and breakage that often occurs during wash day. Your curls and coils emerge softer, more defined and significantly easier to manage.
Hero Ingredients and What They Do
Agave Leaf Extract is a powerful natural humectant that draws and locks moisture into the hair shaft. Rich in natural sugars and saponins, agave provides long-lasting hydration that keeps hair soft, pliable and resistant to dryness between wash days. This is particularly beneficial for high-porosity hair that loses moisture quickly.
Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Flower Extract soothes the scalp, reduces inflammation and adds a calming, naturally pleasant fragrance to the conditioning experience. Lavender also has antibacterial properties that help to maintain a clean, healthy scalp environment conducive to hair growth.
Mangifera Indica (Mango) Seed Butter is a rich, creamy butter loaded with vitamins A, C and E that deeply conditions and softens even the driest, most stubborn textures. It smooths the cuticle, adds shine and provides a natural thermal barrier that protects hair during blow-drying and flat-ironing. Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein penetrates the cortex to rebuild and strengthen the internal structure of each strand, improving elasticity and reducing breakage during styling. Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) is a potent antioxidant that protects hair from environmental damage, UV exposure and oxidative stress, keeping your strands healthy and vibrant.
How to Use
After shampooing with the Design Essentials Agave & Lavender Moisturizing Hair Bath, apply a generous amount of conditioner to wet hair in sections. Work through from mid-lengths to ends using your fingers or a wide-tooth comb, allowing the formula to detangle and condition simultaneously. Leave on for three to five minutes for standard conditioning, or cover with a plastic cap and sit under gentle heat for 10 to 15 minutes for a deeper treatment. Rinse thoroughly with cool water to seal the cuticle. Proceed with blow-drying, silk pressing or your preferred styling method.
Who Is This Conditioner For?
This conditioner is ideal for anyone with natural, textured, curly, coily or wavy hair (Types 2A through 4C) who blow-dries, flat-irons or silk presses their hair regularly. It is also excellent for those who simply need a deeply moisturising, detangling rinse-out conditioner that softens and strengthens without heaviness. If your hair is prone to dryness, breakage during styling or lacks the slip needed for easy detangling, this conditioner is formulated to solve those exact problems.
