The 100 points
We split Farewell Frizz Smoothing Conditioner into 3 standout parts. Each bar shows what the build earns.
The conditioning base (Brassica Alcohol, Stearyl Alcohol, Behentrimonium Chloride) is what coats and detangles the hair after the rinse. A shelf formula with the same kind of base does the same job.
Humectants (Propanediol, Panthenol, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice) pull in water and keep the hair feeling soft.
Oils and butters (Rosa Canina Fruit Oil, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, Cocos Nucifera Oil) soften the hair and seal in moisture.
Optional
93 / 100. We have not found a shelf product that closes more of the gap yet.

Not Your Mother's
In a lab test on hair colored with oxidative dye, adding conditioning agents (a silane/panthenol blend, PEG-12 dimethicone, or hydrolyzed silk and milk protein) cut protein loss and combing damage compared with dye alone.
da 2018 · J Cosmet DermatolA combing test found bleaching raises hair breakage and that nearly all anti-breakage products on the market pair silicones with cationic polymers.
Haake 2009 · J Cosmet SciIn a controlled comparison, coconut oil reduced protein loss from damaged and undamaged hair when used before or after washing; sunflower and mineral oil did not. This applies to coconut oil itself, not to a blend that contains some.
