Double Cream Deep Quencher

Rich protein-free deep conditioner for thirsty curls

✓CGM ApprovedMoistureProtein-FreeStep: Treat

Our Take

A weekly or fortnightly deep conditioning treatment from the Moisture (orange) range, distinctly richer and more intensive than the everyday conditioners in the line. Protein-free, so it delivers pure hydration without the risk of protein overload for hair that's already protein-balanced or protein-sensitive. Particularly well-suited to 3a–4c curl patterns that tend towards dryness, and to colour-treated hair that's been depleted by bleach or permanent colour. Apply after shampooing, cover with a shower cap or cling film for 20–30 minutes with heat or longer without, then rinse and style as usual. If your curls feel straw-like or rough to the touch mid-week, this is the treatment to introduce.

How to Use

Apply in the shower on wet hair, after you have fully rinsed out your shampoo. Rake through your curls to ensure each one is evenly coated. Use your fingers or a detangling tool to gently remove all knots. For a quick moisture boost, leave on for 10-15 minutes before rinsing. For a deep moisturising treatment, leave on for 30 minutes, then rinse well and proceed with your Curlsmith leave-in conditioner and styler.
