Conditioning is an important step in any hair care routine. It helps to protect the hair from damage and retain moisture, makes the hair smoother and silkier (or defines natural curls), prevents tangling, facilitates combing and styling, and more. Mayur hair conditioners with exotic fruit extracts are formulated with plant-based ingredients and designed for different hair types.
Hair conditioners are used to improve the feel, appearance and manageability of hair by reducing friction between hair strands. Modern hair conditioners were created in the late 19th century and first presented at the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris. However, people had used various natural products to tame their hair and make it softer and glossier long before that. For example, various carrier oils were used to add shine to the hair, make it more manageable and keep the hair hydrated.
The first hair-grooming product that can be classified as hair conditioner was created by Ed. Pinaud, a French perfumery and cosmetic company founded in 1830 by Édouard Pinaud. The product was named Brilliantine, from the French word meaning “brilliant”, because it gave the hair a glossy appearance. It was a coloured oily liquid intended to soften men’s hair, including beards and moustaches, and make it look well-groomed. Since the invention of this early product, hair conditioners have changed significantly; most of them are rinse-off products that take care of the hair without making it feel or look heavy or greasy.
Modern hair conditioners usually consist of a mix of active and auxiliary ingredients: active ingredients take care of the hair, helping to make it more manageable and improve its appearance, while auxiliary ingredients (emulsifiers, stabilisers, preservatives etc.) are responsible for the texture of the product and its stability. Hair conditioner formulations typically include acidifiers (acidity regulators), antistatic agents, detanglers, glossers, lubricants, moisturisers, oils (essential fatty acids), preservatives, sequestrants, sunscreens, and surfactants.
Surfactants are most commonly associated with shampoos because of their detergent properties, but hair conditioners contain them, too. However, instead of anionic surfactants they are formulated with cationic surfactants. These surfactants strongly bind to keratin, a protein that makes up approximately 97% of the hair, and don’t wash out completely, making the hair smoother and protecting it from the environment.
Unfortunately, some unscrupulous manufacturers of hair conditioners use dubious ingredients, such as aggressive surfactants, mineral oils, dangerous and harmful preservatives, fragrances and dyes, in order to reduce the production costs and keep prices affordable. This is why the choice of an effective and at the same time safe and affordable hair conditioner is a real challenge for many consumers.
Ukrainian beauty brand Mayur has created a collection of natural hair conditioners with exotic fruit extracts for health- and environmentally-conscious consumers. These conditioners are formulated with COSMOS/ECOCERT-certified plant-based ingredients and don’t contain any synthetic dyes, fragrances, preservatives, and other ingredients that are known irritants or allergens. Mayur offers four conditioners for different hair types, so that you can choose the one that’s just right for you.
For instance, Coconut Universal Hair Conditioner is suitable for all hair types. Its key active ingredients are organic coconut extract and natural coconut oil. It makes combing, brushing and styling much easier, as well as smooths the hair without weighing it down. Thanks to coconut oil, the conditioner actively nourishes and moisturises the hair, strengthens it from root to tip, prevents hair loss and repairs its structure. Organic coconut extract provides the hair and scalp with nutrients, such as vitamins A, B, C and E, amino acids and dietary minerals.
If you have normal hair, check out Mayur’s Guava Strengthening Hair Conditioner. Its key active ingredients are organic coconut extract and natural guava extract. The conditioner nourishes and strengthens the hair, protects it from environmental stressors, makes the hair smoother and glossier, prevents hair breakage and split ends, and stimulates hair follicles, promoting the growth of strong and healthy hair.
Mango Repairing Hair Conditioner is designed for dry and damaged hair. Its formula includes ingredients for intensive hair hydration and restoration, such as natural mango extract and organic coconut extract. They hydrate the scalp and prevent itching and flaking, provide the hair with essential nutrients and moisture, repair damaged hair structure, boost the hair’s elasticity and flexibility, stimulate hair growth, and make the hair soft and silky.
Finally, Passion Fruit Cleansing Hair Conditioner is designed for oily hair. It is formulated with ingredients that help to keep the hair feeling fresh and boost its volume by normalising the production of sebum and balancing the scalp. These ingredients include, for example, passion fruit extract and coconut extract. The conditioner cleanses the scalp and controls sebum secretion, helps to keep the hair clean, nourishes and moisturises it, strengthens the hair from root to tip, and prevents brittle hair and split ends.
