Made for coarse, thick or dense hair that is dry, frizzy and hard to manage, including curls and waves that need definition and softness. It is a good fit for hair that is coloured or regularly heat-styled.

It is simple to use at home and is also part of the Fibre Clinix Bondfinity salon service. Fine hair will find it too rich; the Light Oil from the same range suits that hair better.

On coarse hair, oils tend to sit in patches and creams can feel heavy. This one goes on as a cream, so it spreads evenly through dense hair, then turns into an oil that smooths frizz and leaves shine. It also carries Bondfinity Technology, so it strengthens hair as well as softening it. And since it protects against heat up to 230°C, one product covers protection before drying and finishing afterwards.

1. Pump a small amount into your palms and rub them together until the cream turns into oil.
2. Before styling: apply through damp lengths and ends, then blow-dry. It protects against heat up to 230°C / 450°F.
3. To finish: smooth over dry mid-lengths and ends to tame frizz and add shine.
4. For intense nourishment: apply before shampooing, then wash as usual.
5. In the salon, it can be pumped into a Fibre Clinix Bondfinity Treatment as a booster.
