The shampoo’s mild acidity prepares the hair; the conditioner lowers the surface pH further so the cuticle lies flat. A flat cuticle is true shine: light reflecting off a smooth surface instead of scattering from a rough one. The pH effect only happens when both bottles are used together, which is why this system is sold as a complete set.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is in each bottle\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIn both:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ecupuaçu butter, Brazil nut oil, copaiba, carnauba and a violet pigment (CI 60730).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIn the shampoo only:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ecoconut-derived amine oxide and betaine.

Hair that combs out while it is still wet.

Expect a slight weight on the lengths from the conditioner's film: that is what a smoothed head wants. What you should not expect is volume.
