The blend of nourishing macadamia, sunflower seed, argan, and olive oils work together to restore and replenish essential moisture back into hair strands.<br />Coil Infusion® Triple Treat Deep Conditioner for Tight Curls<br />For tighter curls and coils, we recommend the Coil Infusion® Triple Treat Deep Conditioner, recommended by Ouidad NYC flagship Salon Stylist &amp; Educator Jessica O’Brien:<br />“When coils are given the rich moisture they crave, they’re springy, voluminous, and strong! Ouidad’s Coil Infusion® range of nourishing products features reparative ingredients that add slip, enhance hair quality over time, and make coily curls silky-soft from the first use.” <br />This best-selling hair mask adds rich hydration and helps hair retain moisture by fortifying coils and enriching them with reparative nutrients and hydrating botanicals like black castor oil, avocado and grapeseed oils, apple cider vinegar, and peppermint.
