What is Nika Fairy Silk Deep Conditioner?

Nika Fairy Silk Deep Conditioner is the rinse-out conditioner of the NIKA Fairy Silk line that leaves dry, treated, colour-treated or frizz-prone hair soft, smooth, shiny and easy to comb. Eight plant oils (grape seed, sunflower, coconut, linseed, argan, macadamia, olive and avocado), Glycerin and two conditioning silicones give the lengths slip and a silky feel in 10-20 minutes. The 250 ml bottle is the home size, for home care and for the salon, once or twice a week after the Fairy Silk Shampoo.

Key ingredients

• Eight plant oils: Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Linum Usitatissimum (Linseed) Seed Oil, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil and Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, which care for the lengths and add softness.
• Glycerin: a humectant that helps keep the hair hydrated.
• Behentrimonium Chloride, Cetrimonium Chloride and Quaternium-87: conditioning agents that help detangling and leave less visible frizz after rinsing.
• Dimethicone and Amodimethicone: conditioning silicones that give the hair a smoother feel and make combing easier.

Results

After rinsing, the comb glides through the lengths and the hair feels soft, smooth and supple. Once dry, the lengths look shinier, with less visible frizz.

How to use Nika Fairy Silk Deep Conditioner

2. Apply about 15 ml to the lengths and ends and distribute with a wide-tooth comb.
3. Leave on for 10-20 minutes, depending on how dry the hair is; for a more intensive treatment, cover with a cap and apply gentle heat.
