6 Conditioner Brands 2022

Kérastase is a luxury haircare brand founded in Paris, France in 1964. It saw sales soar with its introduction of the world's first hair mask. Kérastase is now part of the L'Oreal Group, with products that won a lot of awards such as InStyle UK Best Beauty Buys, COSMO Beauty Award, WWD Beauty Greatest Products of All Time, and VOGUE Best Hair Products, etc.

Kérastase carries a full line of multi-scented hair care products that are specially formulated to look after normal hair, fine hair, and permed or colored hair. In addition to traditional conditioners, Kérastase’s Chronologiste collection also offers scalp treatment.

Amodimethicone is a useful ingredient used in Kérastase conditioners. It’s a highly volatile silicone that imparts a pleasantly silky-smooth feel to hair and is easier to remove than traditional silicone oils. The conditioner with this ingredient will not weigh the hair down but make it smooth and fluffy.

Kérastase comes in three collections of conditioners for permed or colored hair. If you’re looking for a conditioner, you should pick one that suits your hair type. However, as the shampoo’s unfailing sidekick, conditioner is not a must-use. If you have smooth hair, you do not need to use a conditioner every time you wash your hair. But if your hair is frizzy, dry, or tangled, especially for long hair, we recommend applying conditioner to improve the manageability of your hair.

As one of the hair care brands under P&G, Herbal Essences offers EWG (Environmental Working Group, USA)-verified products featuring natural ingredients. Herbal Essences is also recognized by PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, USA) as a cruelty-free brand because it does not test on animals.

In the early 1970s, Herbal Essences used only a single botanical ingredient. In the 1990s, it started to add diverse botanical ingredients to its formulas and collaborated with the Royal Botanic Gardens, an international botanical research institute. In 2019 Herbal Essences redesigned the product packaging: providing raised stripes for shampoo bottles and circles for conditioner bottles, which take the needs of people with disabilities into account. Herbal Essences has earned a good reputation due to plant-based ingredients, environmental protection, and care for people with disabilities.

Herbal Essences features a bold fragrance that is distinctive from the mixture of botanicals. Herbal Essences conditioners come in more than 10 options with less variation in formulas, classified mainly by fragrances. These conditioners are all formulated with moisturizing ingredients from various amino acids in plants. Each of them is named after different plant extracts.

Using only plant extracts for hair care does not make hair better, nor does it mean safer. Silicone oil and cetyl alcohol are heavily used in skin care and hair care products. They are the universal ingredients in conditioners and also the key to moisturizing hair.

As one of the brands owned by Unilever, Love Beauty and Planet is dedicated to offering "eco-friendly, organic and sustainable" products. The biggest highlight of the brand is that its exclusive conditioner can be rinsed off in 10 seconds thanks to Unilever’s fast-rinse technology to help consumers save both time and water. Because the water-saving conditioner is free of coloring agents or parabens, the bottle is made from 100% recycled materials. Love Beauty and Planet has been recommended by many magazines such as Allure, POPSUGAR, and Teen Vogue, etc.

Love beauty and planet conditioner are no different from traditional conditioners in terms of hair care effects. The silicone-free formula is simple and standard, which makes the hair fluffy after washing. This popular conditioner is suitable for all hair types and is more friendly to fine, flat hair.

Love beauty and planet comes in 18 products, and the conditioner is available in four packagings: pink, blue, purple and yellow. The rose-scented pink bottle contains coconut oil, sunflower seed oil, and Damascus rose and other ingredients; the coconut-scented blue bottle is infused with coconut oil, coconut water, and other extracts; the purple bottle is packed with argan oil, accompanied by lavender scent; and the yellow bottle features tropical ylang-ylang essential oil. Consumers have multiple fragrances to choose from.
