Key Ingredients Breakdown
- Rose Water - A gentle, hydrating floral water that’s been used in hair care for centuries. Provides light moisture without weight.
- Coconut Oil - Moisturises and smooths the hair shaft, making detangling significantly easier.
- Honey (Hydroxypropyltrimonium) - A modified honey derivative that acts as a humectant, drawing moisture into the hair whilst providing slip.
- Panthenol - Pro-Vitamin B5 that penetrates the hair shaft to improve moisture retention and elasticity.
What We Love
- Genuine slip - The botanical extracts deliver real detangling power

- Beautiful scent - The rose fragrance is elegant without being overwhelming
- Clean formula - No silicones, sulfates, or questionable ingredients
- Lightweight - Won’t weigh down fine or wavy hair
- Versatile - Works on wet or dry hair
What Could Be Better
- No hold - You’ll definitely need a styler on top
- Rose scent - Not for those who prefer unscented or different fragrances
- Can run out quickly - Generous application is needed for best results
- Price per ml - Not the cheapest option available
How to Use
After Washing
- Apply to soaking wet hair in sections
- Use fingers or a wide-tooth comb to distribute
- Detangle from ends upward
- Leave in entirely—no need to rinse
- Follow with your preferred styler
As a Refresher
- Spritz hair lightly with water
- Apply a small amount of leave-in to dampened areas
- Scrunch to reactivate curls
- Air dry or diffuse
Pro Tip
For extremely tangly hair, apply before conditioning in the shower. The slip helps the conditioner distribute more evenly and makes rinsing easier.
