Key ingredients

• Chia seed extract (Salvia hispanica) is rich in omega-3s, proteins and antioxidants to help nourish hair and reduce frizz
• Inulin is a natural prebiotic fibre from chicory root, to help maintain a balanced scalp environment while enhancing softness
• Pullulan is a plant-based, lightweight film-former that helps enhance curl appearance, add natural-looking sheen and create a flexible, touchable finish
• Volunix Bio-Actives is a lightweight blend engineered to help maintain lift and definition without heaviness
• Rosemary, nettle and sage, rooted in Mesopotamian beauty rituals, are included to honour ancestral hair wisdom while supporting hydration and softness

Scent

Juicy mango, pear and banana smoothie opening with fresh green mint and subtle woody-floral depth, finishing with creamy coconut-pineapple undertones and a whisper of sweet orange zest.

How to use

Apply a small amount to each section of wet hair, focusing on mid-lengths and ends. Rake through with your fingers for even coverage, then use a brush to style or define curls as you like. Scrunch to enhance the pattern, then air dry or diffuse. For added hold, layer a gel over the top before diffusing. Once dry, scrunch gently to break any cast. To refresh, mist lightly with water, apply a small amount where needed and scrunch or diffuse to reshape.

Good to know

Contains glycerin. Chia seed and linseed extracts are described by the brand as protein-rich, so worth knowing if you are protein-sensitive. The cetearyl alcohol in the list is a fatty alcohol that conditions rather than dries, not the drying kind. Free from silicones, sulfates and parabens.
