Who This Is For The Craft Colour System Conditioner is designed for anyone with colour-treated, highlighted, toned, or bleached hair who wants to maintain softness, manageability, and a glossy finish between salon appointments. It is particularly suited to: Hair that has become dry, rough, or difficult to detangle after colouring or highlighting services Colour-treated hair that looks vibrant at the salon but feels coarse or brittle within days of washing Fine or medium hair that needs a smoothing conditioner without excessive heaviness or buildup Anyone using the Craft Colour System Shampoo who wants to complete the 2-step colour-care routine Those seeking a salon-standard conditioner for regular home use after colour services Why Colour-Treated Hair Needs a Dedicated Conditioner The chemical processes involved in hair colouring - oxidation in permanent colour, the swelling from developers, the cuticle-lifting required for bleach and highlights - cause structural changes to the hair shaft that standard conditioners are not formulated to address. The hair cuticle, which normally lies flat and smooth to reflect light and protect the cortex beneath, becomes raised and disrupted. This makes the hair feel rough, look dull, and lose the manageability it had before the service. A colour-specific conditioner needs to do more than add moisture. It needs to smooth and seal the cuticle surface, provide enough slip for detangling without weighing fine strands down, and deliver nourishing ingredients that replenish what the colour process depletes. The Craft Colour System Conditioner is built to do all three in a formula that works with colour-treated hair rather than against its altered structure. How It Works Cetrimonium Chloride and Behentrimonium Chloride: Cationic conditioning agents that are attracted to the negatively charged, damaged surface of colour-treated hair. They deposit onto the cuticle, smoothing and sealing it, reducing friction and roughness, and making hair significantly easier to detangle and style. Amodimethicone, Dimethiconol, Cyclomethicone, Dimethicone: A four-part silicone conditioning complex that works together to coat the hair surface with a lightweight, flexible film, filling in surface irregularities on the cuticle, enhancing light reflection for gloss, and providing the slip that makes colour-treated hair feel silky rather than rough after washing. Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5): Penetrates the hair shaft to provide moisture, improve elasticity, and strengthen strands from within, helping colour-treated hair become more resilient and less prone to breakage over time. Lactic Acid: A gentle AHA that refines the surface finish of the hair and helps lower the pH of the conditioner after cleansing, encouraging the cuticle to lie flatter for a smoother result and a more luminous finish. Aloe Vera Leaf Extract (Aloe barbadensis leaf juice): Provides lightweight hydration and comfort to the hair and scalp, supporting moisture balance in hair that is prone to dryness after colour processing. Olive Leaf Extract (Olea europaea fruit oil): Rich in oleuropein and fatty acids, olive leaf extract nourishes and adds a natural conditioning layer to colour-treated lengths, supporting softness and a healthier-feeling surface. Fatty Alcohols (Cetyl Alcohol, Cetearyl Alcohol): The conditioning base of the formula, providing the rich, creamy texture that makes application easy and distributes actives evenly through the mid-lengths and ends. Paraffinum Liquidum: Supports the soft, smooth feel of the conditioner on the hair, helping reduce brittleness and surface coarseness in processed hair. Key Ingredients Cetrimonium Chloride, Behentrimonium Chloride: cuticle-sealing conditioning agents Amodimethicone, Dimethiconol, Cyclomethicone, Dimethicone: 4-silicone smoothing complex Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5): strength, moisture, and elasticity Lactic Acid: surface refinement and pH optimisation Aloe Vera Leaf Extract: lightweight hydration Olive Leaf Extract: nourishment and natural conditioning Cetyl Alcohol, Cetearyl Alcohol: rich conditioning base The Craft Colour System Routine The Colour System Conditioner is Step 2 in the Craft Colour System, a 2-step wash-day routine for colour-treated hair that cleanses and conditions in sequence for the best combined result. Step 1 - Craft Colour System Shampoo: Gently lifts away daily oil, styling product residue, and environmental buildup while supporting colour vibrancy. Olive Fruit Oil, Aloe Vera, and Panthenol add initial softness and conditioning during the cleanse, preparing the hair for the conditioner to follow. Step 2 - Craft Colour System Conditioner (this product): Applied through the mid-lengths and ends after shampooing, the conditioner seals and smooths the cuticle, restores softness and gloss, improves detangling, and locks in the moisture that colour-treated hair loses so readily. This is the step that makes the difference between hair that is clean and hair that feels genuinely cared for. Want both steps together? The Craft Colour System Shampoo and Conditioner Set includes both products at a saving, the complete routine in one. For best results, use consistently after every wash throughout the life of your colour. How to Use Shampoo with the Craft Colour System Shampoo and rinse thoroughly. Apply the Colour System Conditioner through the mid-lengths and ends, avoiding the scalp. Work through gently with fingers or a wide-tooth comb to ensure even coverage and assist in detangling. Leave for 1–3 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with cool water. Cooler water helps close the cuticle for a smoother, glossier finish. Style as usual. For an extra boost of nourishment between salon visits, apply a slightly larger amount and leave for up to 5 minutes before rinsing. Who May Need a Different Product The Colour System Conditioner is designed for colour-treated, highlighted, and toned hair. If your primary hair care concern is: Permed, wavy, or curl-enhanced hair: The Craft Curl System Conditioner is formulated for fine, perm-treated, and curl-enhanced hair.
