  • Anyway to make my leave in and rinse out conditioners to look or feel more glossy

    Posted by NellyMthethwa on January 25, 2021 at 4:46 pm

    please may someone share some advice about how to make my conditioner look more glossy or pearly. When I compare it to store-bought conditioner, it lacks the feel of glossiness that others have, they almost look like there’s a layer of water on the cream but mine doesn’t. please help me. 

    Thank you so much.

    silicones can help with the glossiness and maybe try glycol distearate if you want something more pearlescent - I know that can be used for rinse out conditioners but I’m not sure if that is suitable for leave-in products
