Read our guide for how to find the right shampoo for your hair goals here.
Fine or thin hair:
Those with fine hair should source a lightweight conditioner that won’t weigh down the hair or leave it feeling needlessly oily. Look for a light but creamy, hydrating conditioner that nourishes the hair follicle for soft, manageable hair.

Thick hair:
Thick hair can embrace a rich, decadent conditioner, so go for something velvety, packed with hydration and nutrients. Opt for a formula that says it smooths and seals the hair cuticles—this will help to manage frizz.

Curly or coily hair:
With curly or coily hair, it’s all about protecting the natural curl pattern while adding moisture to coarser strands. To keep frizz away, a leave-in conditioner or mask is a must-have.

Straight hair:
Anyone who has straight hair will know it can get oily fast. So, choose a lightweight conditioner that hydrates and detangles without adding excess oil.

Wavy hair:
This hair type will need to strike the right balance between moisturising without using too much product, or you’re at risk of redefining your natural waves. A leave-in conditioner spray is great, as it offers a light touch of hydration without the heaviness.

Colour-treated hair:
Keep your colour looking beautiful and bright with a conditioner that comes with colour fade protection. Opt for a product with a concentrated bonding care complex that reinforces weakened bonds within your hair to improve hair strength and protect your colour.

Conditioner ingredients matter
When choosing a conditioner, it’s important to read the ingredients. Here, we break down what to look for:
- Silicones. Want silky smoothness? Silicones coat the hair, providing a sleek sheen and helping to detangle.
- Glycerin. Glycerin is a humectant, so it draws moisture into the hair, keeping it hydrated and healthy. Perfect for dry hair.
- Natural oils. Oils like jojoba, argan, and coconut deeply nourish hair. They are especially good for dry, thick, or curly hair.
- Proteins. Strengthen your strands by using a protein-rich conditioner. Proteins repair and reinforce hair that’s prone to breakage, restoring its vitality.
