Everything you need to know about NOU High Porosity Leave-in Conditioner

Overview

What it is

This product is a leave-in conditioner specifically formulated for hair with high porosity, particularly suited for coily hair types. Its primary purpose is to provide moisture retention and reduce breakage by sealing in moisture. The presence of shea butter is intended to help in maintaining moisture within the hair structure.

Key ingredients and their functions

  • Dimethicone - conditioning agent
  • Cyclopentasiloxane - conditioning agent
  • Dimethiconol - conditioning agent
  • Phenyl Trimethicone - conditioning agent
  • Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter - moisturizing agent
  • Histidine - conditioning agent
  • Panthenol - moisturizing agent
  • Salicylic Acid - exfoliating agent

How it works

The formulation operates by incorporating a blend of conditioning agents such as dimethicone, cyclopentasiloxane, and dimethiconol, which contribute to smoothing and conditioning the hair surface. Shea butter acts as a moisturizing agent, essential for retaining moisture in high porosity hair. Phenyl trimethicone enhances the conditioning effect, while histidine further supports hair conditioning. Panthenol is included to aid in moisture retention, contributing to the softening of hair fibers. Salicylic acid provides exfoliating properties, which may help in maintaining a clean scalp environment. Collectively, these ingredients work together to assist in moisture retention and reduce hair breakage in coily hair types.

About the brand

They say: "That's what we said to the creams, cleansers, and conditioners that we bought, only to find out that they didn't play well with our hair's porosity and curl pattern. So instead of pouting (OK, maybe a little pouting), a group of us curly and coily-haired folks helped craft hair care products for the specific ways our hair retains and sustains moisture. That’s NOU. The only line of hair care products that puts a spotlight on hair porosity."
