Design Essentials Almond & Avocado Moisturising & Detangling Conditioner 12oz uses the hydrating power of almond, avocado, shea butter, and coconut milk to nourish, replenish, and detangle curly and coily hair leaving it irresistibly soft, manageable, and frizz-free with every wash.

Key Benefits for Natural, Curly and Coily Hair

This moisturising and detangling conditioner is a wash day essential for those with natural, curly, and coily hair who struggle with dryness, tangles, and frizz. The rich, creamy formula penetrates the hair shaft to restore moisture from within, softening even the most tightly textured curls and coils and making them significantly more manageable. With regular use, hair feels noticeably softer, more supple, and far easier to detangle reducing the risk of breakage and shedding during the styling process.

Detangling is one of the biggest challenges for curly and coily hair, and this conditioner is specifically formulated to address that. Its advanced slip formula provides exceptional glide from root to tip, allowing a wide-toothed comb or fingers to move through even densely tangled hair with ease reportedly saving up to 30 minutes of detangling time per wash day. This makes it particularly valuable for those with very thick, dense, or tightly coiled hair that typically requires extensive detangling before styling.

Free from parabens, paraffin, petrolatum, and mineral oil, this is a clean, botanically enriched conditioner that prioritises hair health alongside performance. The 12oz size is ideal for regular wash-day use, providing plenty of product for thorough mid-length and ends application on longer natural hair.

Hero Ingredients and What They Do

Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil penetrates deeply into the hair cortex, delivering vitamins A, D, and E alongside essential fatty acids that strengthen and moisturise each strand from within. Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil softens and conditions the hair, improving elasticity and reducing brittleness that leads to breakage. Together, avocado and almond form a deeply nourishing duo that works at a structural level to improve hair health with every wash.

Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter seals the cuticle after conditioning, locking in moisture and protecting against environmental dryness and damage. Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein strengthens the hair shaft, fills in gaps in the cuticle, and reduces breakage during styling. Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) provides antioxidant protection and promotes a healthy scalp environment, while Behentrimonium Chloride delivers exceptional detangling slip that makes this conditioner a standout performer for knotted, tangled natural hair.

How to Use

After cleansing with the Design Essentials Almond & Avocado Sulfate-Free Shampoo, towel blot hair to remove excess water. Apply conditioner generously from the ends upward, working through to the scalp and ensuring every section is fully saturated. Detangle gently using a wide-toothed comb or fingers, working from the tips upward. Allow the conditioner to penetrate for 1 to 3 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with cool water to seal the cuticle and maximise shine. For deeper conditioning, leave on for up to 10 minutes under a shower cap before rinsing.
