Before you buy
Is it silicone free? No. Amodimethicone and silicone quaternium-16 are on the ingredient list. One badge graphic on the brand page labels it silicone free; the ingredient list says otherwise.
Is it sulfate free? Yes, it is labelled sulfate, paraben and phthalate free, with no mineral oil and no gluten contributors. Fragrance is on the list.
Do the volume figures apply if I use it alone? The 2.3x figure and both studies above measured the conditioner used with Big Hit shampoo, so they describe the pair, not the conditioner on its own.
Can the ingredient list change? It can. To confirm the formula suits you, check the list printed on your bottle.
