SmartStart Detangling Leave-In Conditioner

Description

EVOLVh SmartStart Detangling Leave-In Conditioner is a foundational leave-in conditioner that helps detangle, hydrate, and protect hair while supporting healthier-looking strands from the inside out. Suitable for all hair types, especially fine hair and sensitive scalps, it helps reduce frizz, seal the cuticle for smoother, shinier hair, and protect against heat styling, UV exposure, and everyday environmental stressors. Lightly scented with rose hydrosol, it leaves hair feeling soft, resilient, and easy to style.

A proprietary bond-building complex (FiberHance) helps reinforce weakened strands for stronger, healthier-looking hair, while a proprietary biomimetic smoothing complex (EverSmooth) featuring hair-identical amino acids, niacinamide, and lecithin enhances softness, slip, and shine. Rose hydrosol helps soothe and comfort the scalp, leaving hair feeling hydrated, easier to detangle, and naturally radiant.

HOW TO USE IT

After showering, spray generously through damp, towel-dried hair, focusing from mid-lengths to ends for even coverage. Allow the formula to absorb for about a minute before styling. For an added boost between washes, lightly mist onto dry hair to refresh the look and improve manageability. Use as often as needed as part of a daily hair care routine.
