Anyone using the Deepshine Oil Moisturizing Shampoo, since this conditioner is formulated to follow it.

Best suited to dry, dull, or color-treated hair that needs detangling and added slip, rather than fine hair that's prone to going flat.

No experience needed — it's a standard rinse-out step in a normal wash routine.

This conditioner earns its place after the Moisturizing Shampoo specifically because of how it detangles: behentrimonium chloride and stearyl alcohol smooth the cuticle mechanically, while cyclopentasiloxane, a volatile silicone that evaporates rather than sitting on the hair, adds slip and shine without the greasy buildup some heavier silicones leave behind. Argan oil and a honey-derived humectant handle moisture on top of that. It's a practical choice for dry or color-treated hair that tangles easily, though its conditioning weight makes it a less natural match for fine hair looking for volume.

After shampooing with Rusk Deepshine Oil Moisturizing Shampoo, apply a generous amount to clean, wet hair.

Distribute evenly from mid-length to ends.

Rinse thoroughly.

Pros:

• Cyclopentasiloxane and behentrimonium chloride combine to detangle effectively and leave hair feeling smooth
• Argan oil and panthenol add shine and softness without a heavy after-feel, since the silicone used is a lightweight, evaporating type
• Color-safe, so it won't accelerate fading on treated hair

Cons:

• Contains a silicone, which anyone following a silicone-free or curly-girl-method routine will want to avoid
• Same preservatives (methylchloroisothiazolinone/methylisothiazolinone) and added fragrance as the shampoo, a possible irritant for sensitive scalps
• Rich enough that fine or thin hair may find it heavier than needed — the Volumizing Conditioner is the better fit there
