For color-treated, chemically-treated, or heat-damaged hair — particularly mid-lengths and ends — that needs detangling and repair rather than just daily softness. Suited to home users and professionals working within Sebastian's Penetraitt system, from fine to coarse hair textures dealing with breakage or dullness from processing.

What sets it apart from a general daily conditioner is the combination of two plant-derived oils with color-safe repair chemistry aimed specifically at damage from chemical services and heat tools, rather than just surface-level softening — useful for anyone maintaining color or recovering from a harsh styling routine.

1. Shampoo with Penetraitt Rescue Repair Shampoo and rinse.
2. Squeeze out excess water from hair.
3. Apply the conditioner through mid-lengths and ends.
4. Leave on for 2–3 minutes.
5. Rinse thoroughly with cool to lukewarm water.

Pros:

• Contains rice bran oil and jojoba seed oil for added slip and shine, not just synthetic conditioning agents
• Color-safe formula, appropriate for color-treated hair alongside its repair function
• Short 2–3 minute contact time makes it usable as a regular rinse-out step rather than a lengthy treatment

Cons:

• Contains parabens (methylparaben, propylparaben) as preservatives, a consideration for buyers avoiding that ingredient class
• Designed as a rinse-out conditioner, not a deep treatment mask — Sebastian sells a separate Penetraitt Rescue Repair Mask for more severe damage
• Formulated to pair with Penetraitt Rescue Repair Shampoo, so results with a different, non-matching shampoo aren't specified by the brand
