KERASYS Conditioners

The Kerasys conditioner range is organized by hair concern. Before selecting a product, identify your primary concern:

• Damage or breakage: Damage Clinic Conditioner or Argan Oil Conditioner.
• Fine, flat hair: Volume Clinic Conditioner.
• Scalp sensitivity or oiliness: Scalp Clinic Conditioner.
• Dry, rough, or coarse hair: Coconut Oil Conditioner or Moisture Clinic Conditioner.
• Fine hair + protein depletion: Volume Clinic Protein Conditioner.
• Severely damaged hair: Advanced Volume Ampoule Treatment or Damage Clinic Conditioner in the larger size.

If you have a combination of concerns - fine but also dry, damaged and sensitive scalp - start with the concern that affects daily manageability most. You can add a second product (typically a treatment mask once or twice weekly) to address the secondary concern without disrupting the daily conditioning step.

The Damage Clinic Conditioner is Kerasys's baseline damage-repair conditioner, available in 600 ml, 750 ml, 980 ml, and 1000 ml sizes. It applies after shampooing, left on for 1 to 3 minutes as a standard conditioner or 5 to 10 minutes as a mask, and rinsed thoroughly. The 1000 ml size is the most economical for daily users who need consistent repair conditioning without frequent reordering.

The Damage Clinic line covers hair with moderate to significant damage from heat styling, chemical processing, or environmental stress. For the most severe damage, the Keramide Extreme Damage Treatment provides a higher ceramide concentration than the standard Damage Clinic formula.

The Argan Oil Conditioner (1000 ml) uses argan oil - a lightweight, high-linoleic-acid oil from the Moroccan argan tree - as its primary nourishing ingredient. Argan oil penetrates the hair shaft more effectively than heavier oils, providing deep conditioning without the weight or greasiness that some oil-based conditioners can leave. It is particularly effective for hair that lacks shine and flexibility - the oil content restores the pliability that makes hair easier to style and gives it a reflective surface that appears healthier.

The argan oil conditioner is appropriate for normal to dry hair and particularly for color-treated hair, where chemical processing often strips the natural oils that give hair its shine and flexibility.

The Coconut Oil Conditioner (1000 ml) provides deep moisture conditioning using coconut oil, one of the most studied hair conditioning ingredients for its ability to penetrate the hair cortex (not just the surface). Coconut oil's molecular structure allows it to enter the hair shaft and bind to protein structure, reducing protein loss during washing and improving the hair's ability to retain moisture.

This conditioner is best suited to thick, coarse, or very dry hair that needs deep nourishment rather than surface smoothing. On fine hair, coconut oil's heavier profile can cause flatness and buildup - for fine hair, the Volume Clinic Conditioner or Argan Oil Conditioner is a better match.

The Scalp Clinic Conditioner (750 ml and 980 ml) is formulated for users whose primary hair concern is at the scalp level - oiliness, sensitivity, or buildup - rather than the hair shaft. Unlike standard conditioners that should not be applied to the scalp (due to buildup risk), the Scalp Clinic Conditioner is designed to be compatible with scalp application without clogging follicles.

It pairs directly with the Scalp Clinic Shampoo for a complete scalp-care routine, addressing the conditioning step without disrupting the scalp balance that the shampoo maintains. For users who have found that standard conditioners applied too close to the roots cause their scalp to feel congested or their hair to go limp, the Scalp Clinic Conditioner is the targeted alternative.

Conditioner application method affects results as much as product choice:

• Fine or oily hair: apply from mid-lengths to ends only. Keep the conditioner off the scalp and roots entirely. Use less than the recommended amount - fine hair is over-conditioned easily.
• Dry or coarse hair: apply generously from the scalp to the ends. Use the conditioner as a mask (5 to 10 minutes) once or twice weekly for intensive treatment. Rinse less aggressively - leaving a very small amount on the hair's surface is beneficial for dry hair.
• Damaged hair: apply post-shampoo from mid-lengths to ends, leave 3 to 5 minutes as a minimum. For severe damage, use as a weekly 10-minute mask with a warm towel wrap over the hair during the contact time.
• All types: comb the conditioner through with a wide-tooth comb to distribute evenly. This also helps detangle, reducing mechanical stress when the hair is most fragile (wet).

Kerasys conditioners come in a wider size range than most hair care brands:

• 600 ml: approximately 2 to 3 months for daily use (standard application amount).
• 750 ml: approximately 3 months.
• 980 ml: approximately 3.5 to 4 months.
• 1000 ml: approximately 4 to 5 months.

The 980 ml and 1000 ml sizes are the most cost-efficient for confirmed daily users. The 600 ml is the right starting size to evaluate a formula before committing to a larger quantity. For travel, check for the 180 ml sizes available in selected lines.

Every conditioner in the Kerasys range can be used as a mask - the format is not limited to designated treatment products. The difference is contact time: apply the conditioner in a generous amount from mid-lengths to ends after shampooing, cover with a shower cap, and leave on for 5 to 10 minutes instead of 1 to 3 minutes. This extended contact allows more of the active ingredients to penetrate the hair shaft. Using any Kerasys conditioner as a weekly mask is the fastest way to see visible improvement in hair condition without purchasing a separate treatment product.
