Joico Defy Damage Protective Conditioner 250ml

The daily conditioning step of Joico's Defy Damage range, deliberately built light. It is for fine to medium hair that needs moisture and resilience but loses its volume the moment a rich conditioner goes near it — the type most likely to skip conditioner entirely and pay for it in breakage.

The actives

• SmartRelease™ Technology — Joico's liposome delivery system, carrying rosehip oil, arginine and keratin and releasing them gradually, so they keep working after the rinse.
• Protective lipid — the barrier component, formulated to buffer the fibre against thermal and chemical stress.
• Moringa seed oil — a light, fast-absorbing oil that smooths the cuticle without weight.
• Arginine — an amino acid used across the range to reinforce the fibre and reduce breakage at the comb.

Worth knowing

One to two minutes on mid-lengths and ends, kept off the roots and rinsed thoroughly — most of what people read as a conditioner weighing hair down is simply product left in it. The range is built around prevention rather than repair, so it earns its keep through daily consistency. Use it behind the matching Protective Shampoo, with the KBOND20 Masque weekly when hair has taken a heavier hit.
