This conditioner targets coarse, curly, wavy, or otherwise textured hair that tends toward frizz, including color-treated hair since the formula is sulfate-free and color-safe. The almond oil and hyaluronic acid combination is aimed at surface-smoothing and moisture retention rather than protein-based repair, so it's a better match for frizz-prone hair that isn't necessarily chemically damaged than for hair that specifically needs reconstructive treatment. It's marketed for all genders and hair lengths.

The case for this conditioner over a general-purpose one is the pairing of an emollient oil with a humectant: almond oil is positioned to coat and smooth the outer hair surface where frizz starts, while the two hyaluronic acid ingredients pull in and hold moisture, which is the combination the brand is targeting specifically for textured, frizz-prone hair rather than damaged hair needing protein repair.

After shampooing, apply a small amount to towel-dried hair, focusing on mid-lengths and ends. Massage through, then rinse thoroughly, or leave on for 3-5 minutes as an occasional smoothing treatment before rinsing. For best results, pair with the Clean Beauty Anti-Frizz Shampoo.

Pros:

• Combines almond oil with two hyaluronic acid forms, pairing an emollient oil with a humectant for both surface smoothing and moisture
• Sulfate-free and color-safe, appropriate for color-treated textured hair
• Vegan and paraben-free
• Doubles as a 3-5 minute smoothing treatment when left on longer
• Recyclable, bio-based packaging (90% sugarcane)

Cons:

• Contains a silicone (amodimethicone), so it isn't silicone-free despite the 'clean beauty' name
• Hyaluronic acid is a humectant; in very humid climates a humectant-heavy conditioner can contribute to frizz rebound if not paired with a leave-in or sealant
• Rich formula may be more than fine, non-frizzy hair needs
