This lightweight formula works as a foundation layer before gels or creams, helping styling products distribute evenly and perform better. Coconut fruit extract provides hydration, while the blend of amla, beet root, and green tea extracts nourishes both hair and scalp.
The conditioning agents help detangle wet hair, making it easier to comb through sections without causing breakage.

Use it alone for simple moisture or layer under styling products for enhanced definition and hold.
