Which organic natural conditioner should you choose? A closer look at organic detanglers!
More than just a passing trend, plant-based natural beauty products have gradually found their way into our bathrooms, becoming true essentials. And for good reason: not only are they good for our health and the planet, but they are also sensory and effective, allowing us to take care of ourselves without any collateral damage.
From shampoo to treatments and conditioners, it’s entirely possible to enjoy a 100% organic haircare routine. In this article, we’ll focus on conditioners, also called detanglers, especially in the context of professional salons.
With more than 25 years of expertise in professional natural cosmetics, the Hairborist experts share their best tips to help you find the best organic conditioner for your hair.
What is the role of an organic conditioner?
First of all, it’s important to distinguish between an organic conditioner and a hair treatment. While it’s clear that shampoo cleans the hair and removes impurities that accumulate on the hair fiber throughout the day (dust, pollution, styling products…), the role of a natural organic conditioner can sometimes seem a little less obvious.
As its name suggests, this cosmetic is applied after washing the hair, more precisely after rinsing out the shampoo. Its job is to close the hair cuticle, smooth it, and hydrate the hair. However, it does not provide deep treatment; that’s the role of a haircare treatment.
When it comes to treatments, at Hairborist we have developed exclusive products to be applied to dry hair before shampooing in order to regenerate the hair deeply. Why? Because when a conventional mask is applied to wet hair, the water creates a barrier that prevents the active ingredients from really working. On the other hand, when used on dry hair, that is, completely “bare”, our treatments with plant and essential oils can address many hair concerns with far greater effectiveness.
In short, the role of a conditioner is to seal the cuticles (which are inevitably opened during shampooing), smooth the hair, make detangling easier, and hydrate the strands, without replacing the deep power of a treatment. It works hand-in-hand with shampoo, whereas treatments provide that essential extra step.
Organic shampoo and conditioner go hand in hand
While conventional shampoos often contain silicones, a petroleum-derived substance that superficially coats the hair fiber with a “plastic-like” film—organic or natural shampoos are free from such occlusive synthetic ingredients.
This is precisely why organic shampoo and conditioner cannot be separated: if you only wash your hair without following up with an organic conditioner, the cuticle remains open. The result? Hair that is dry, dull, and difficult to detangle. That’s why it’s essential to make organic moisturizing conditioner part of your routine, a simple new habit that helps maintain your hair’s suppleness.
Finding the best organic or natural conditioner
Hairborist conditioners are formulated with high-quality ingredients, at a higher-than-average concentration, and are specifically designed for use in professional salons. As pioneers in organic cosmetics with over 25 years of expertise, our laboratory is at the forefront of botanical cosmetology. This makes our organic and natural conditioners a trusted choice for radiant, healthy-looking hair.
We offer four different detangling balms, each designed to meet specific hair needs:
-
Daily Care : A true bestseller among our partner hairdressers, who love its strong detangling power. Free from silicones and enriched with rice protein, it provides the hydration hair needs without weighing it down, making it particularly suitable for daily use or fine hair. Infused with lavender and rosemary essential oils, it leaves behind a fresh, floral fragrance.
-
Sweet Care : With its creamy texture, Sweet Care deeply nourishes hair in need of hydration. Certified Ecogarantie, this organic conditioner is both powerful and effective. It is especially suited for hair lacking hydration or nutrition, delicate hair, and thick hair. It is also ideal for thick hair colored with plant-based dyes.
-
Natural Color : This conditioner comes in a surprising spray format, perfect for fine hair colored with plant-based dyes or for fine, oily hair. Unlike cream formulas, a spray conditioner detangles lightly without weighing the hair down. It also contains organic apple cider vinegar, well-known for giving incredible shine to the hair fiber.
-
Color Care : With its rich, comforting texture, Color Care was specially designed to ease styling of hair damaged by chemical treatments (oxidation dyes, bleaching, perms…). This type of hair requires high hydration and a conditioner with strong detangling power, otherwise it risks breaking when brushed. Delicately scented with chamomile, cinnamon, and clove essential oils, its smooth texture makes application a pleasure.
A complementary care routine
Choosing an organic detangling conditioner is an excellent first step. However, an effective haircare routine necessarily consists of three distinct steps:
-
A deep treatment made of vegetable and essential oils that penetrates into the core of the hair to revitalize and nourish the fiber long-term. Choose between Renovator (for normal to thick hair) or Repair (for oily or fine hair) and add a few drops of the Aromasynergy best suited to your needs to fully personalize your treatment.
-
A gentle shampoo that purifies the scalp and hair without aggression. Select the formula based on your hair type, Hairborist offers six organic shampoos adapted to specific needs.
-
An organic conditioner, which hydrates and closes the hair cuticle, as we’ve just explained in this article.
We recommend performing your deep treatment before every shampoo if your hair is damaged, if you struggle with a persistent scalp concern (eczema, psoriasis, itching…), or simply if you want your hair to be strong, shiny, and healthy.
Consistency in your haircare routine, just like in your skincare routine, is the key to achieving hair that radiates health!
