If your hair is fine but also dry, conditioner can feel like a bit of a trap. The rich cream that would quench the dryness tends to flatten fine hair and leave it limp, so you go light on conditioner, and your lengths stay thirsty, tangly, and quick to snap. It's a frustrating in-between: too dry to skip conditioner, too fine to load it on.

This ultra-light milk conditioner nourishes and detangles fine-to-medium dry hair without weighing it down. Plant-based proteins from wheat, corn, and soy and a dose of niacinamide reinforce and strengthen the fibre, while glycerin draws in moisture and smooths the surface so knots slip loose, all in a weightless formula that rinses clean and leaves body behind. Follow your Bain Satin shampoo with it, and if your hair is thick or very dry, a richer Nutritive mask will give it more.

Right away, hair feels softer, detangles easily, and looks shinier without going flat, with the brand measuring up to 85% more immediate hydration, 53% more softness, and 115% more shine. With 72 hours of nutrition per use and regular wear, fine, dry hair holds onto moisture and elasticity, so it stays soft and manageable and breaks less over time.
