Smooth & Glossy Conditioner is a lightweight finishing conditioner formulated for normal to fine hair that needs shine enhancement without heavy buildup. Mongongo oil contains polyunsaturated fatty acids that create a protective barrier on hair's surface, preventing moisture loss and protecting against sun damage, while cupuacu butter maintains hair elasticity and absorbs 450% of its weight in water for superior moisture retention.

• Fine to medium hair that gets weighed down by heavy conditioners
• Hair exposed to heat styling or sun damage
• Anyone seeking glossy finish without silicone buildup

Key Benefits

Frequently Asked Questions
What hair types work best with Smooth & Glossy Conditioner?
This conditioner is formulated for normal to fine hair textures that need shine and smoothness without heavy buildup. It works especially well for straight to wavy hair (types 1A-2C) that gets weighed down by rich, creamy conditioners. If you have thick, coarse, or very curly hair (3B-4C), our Deep Hydration Restorative Conditioner provides more intensive moisture.
How is this different from Griffin Remedy's other conditioners?
Smooth & Glossy is our lightest conditioner, designed specifically for shine and smoothness rather than deep repair or volume. Compare:
• Daily Renewal Conditioner: Gentle everyday conditioning for all hair types, balanced moisture
• Restorative Conditioner: Deep treatment for dry or damaged hair with shea butter and macadamia oil
• Smooth & Glossy Conditioner: Lightweight shine enhancement with mongongo oil and cupuacu butter for fine-to-normal hair
What does mongongo oil do for hair?
Mongongo oil is ideal for conditioning hair because it has hydrating, regenerating, and restructuring properties, with vitamin E content making it a natural sunscreen. This nutrient-dense oil is rich in linoleic acid and helps protect hair from drying out while supporting softness and strength during styling.
What is cupuacu butter and why is it in this conditioner?
Cupuacu butter is extracted from the seeds of the Amazonian cupuacu fruit. It's rich in phytosterols and possesses a high capacity for water absorption, giving it a unique ability to help retain moisture by regulating the balance of natural lipids within the hair. It's much lighter than shea butter and doesn't take as long to absorb into hair, making it ideal for a glossing conditioner that won't weigh hair down.
Can I use this on color-treated hair?
Yes. This conditioner is sulfate-free and gentle enough for color-treated hair. The mongongo oil and cupuacu butter provide protective moisture without stripping color. However, if your color-treated hair is very dry or damaged, our Color Extend Conditioner (formulated with cranberry seed oil and green tea extract) is specifically designed to preserve color vibrancy and repair chemical damage.
How often should I use this conditioner?
You can use Smooth & Glossy Conditioner daily or every time you shampoo. Because it's lightweight, it won't cause buildup with frequent use. For best results, pair it with Smooth & Glossy Shampoo, which is formulated to work synergistically with this conditioner.
What does yuzu scent smell like?
Yuzu is a Japanese citrus fruit with a bright, refreshing aroma—similar to a combination of lemon, grapefruit, and mandarin orange. The scent is uplifting and clean without being overpowering, and it doesn't linger heavily on hair after rinsing.
Is this conditioner vegan and cruelty-free?
Yes. All Griffin Remedy products are 100% vegan (no animal-derived ingredients) and cruelty-free (never tested on animals). This conditioner contains plant-based ingredients including certified organic aloe vera gel, certified organic jojoba oil, and botanical extracts.
