Who This Is For
The Craft Curl System Conditioner is designed for two distinct hair types that share the same core conditioning challenge - needing softness and manageability without heaviness:
-
Fine or thin hair that needs lightweight conditioning to feel softer and more manageable without losing volume, bounce, or movement
-
Perm-treated, curl-enhanced, or wavy hair that needs frizz control and softness without the curl or texture being weighed down by a rich conditioning formula
- Hair that is prone to frizz, static, or roughness between washes, particularly in humid conditions
- Anyone who has found regular conditioners leave their hair limp, greasy at the roots, or lacking body after washing
- Anyone using the Craft Curl System Shampoo who wants to complete the 2-step Curl System routine
Why Fine and Perm-Treated Hair Needs a Dedicated Conditioner
Standard conditioners are typically formulated for normal to dry hair, or hair that needs rich moisture replenishment and heavy cuticle sealing. For fine or perm-treated hair, this level of conditioning creates more problems than it solves. The fatty alcohols, heavy oils, and high concentrations of cationic agents that make a standard conditioner feel luxurious on thick hair coat fine strands with too much product, flattening the hair and making it look limp and greasy by mid-afternoon.
Perm-treated hair has an additional structural consideration. The permanent waving or curl-enhancing process rearranges the disulphide bonds within the hair shaft to create the new curl or wave pattern. A conditioner that is too rich or too occlusive can disrupt how the curl sits and dries, reducing the definition and bounce the service was designed to create.
The Craft Curl System Conditioner uses a calibrated lightweight conditioning approach, enough to meaningfully smooth and soften, not so much that it overwhelms fine or curl-enhanced hair. It is the difference between conditioning that helps and conditioning that hinders.
How It Works
-
Cetrimonium Chloride and Behentrimonium Chloride: Cationic conditioning agents that deposit onto the negatively charged hair surface, smoothing the cuticle, reducing friction, and improving detangling at a concentration calibrated for fine hair, so the conditioning effect is meaningful without being excessive.
-
Amodimethicone, Dimethiconol, Cyclomethicone, Dimethicone: A four-silicone smoothing complex that coats the hair with a lightweight, flexible film, filling surface irregularities, enhancing gloss and slip, and providing the frizz-controlling layer that fine and perm-treated hair needs without the weight of heavier conditioning ingredients.
-
Hydrolysed Wheat Protein: Partially penetrates the hair shaft to reinforce the internal structure of fine strands, improving elasticity, reducing breakage-prone brittleness, and supporting the feel of fuller, more resilient hair. For perm-treated hair, it helps maintain the structural integrity of processed strands and supports bounce and shape retention.
-
Jasmine Flower and Leaf Extract (Jasminum officinale): Provides a soothing, lightweight softening effect on the hair surface, calming frizz and static without adding the heaviness of richer botanical oils. It also contributes to the signature fresh, floral scent of the Curl System range.
-
Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5): Penetrates the hair shaft to improve moisture retention and elasticity from within, strengthening fine or chemically treated strands without depositing product on the surface in a way that affects weight or movement.
-
Lactic Acid: A gentle AHA that helps refine the surface pH of the hair after conditioning, encouraging the cuticle to lie flatter for a smoother, neater finish, particularly beneficial for perm-treated hair where cuticle alignment directly affects how the curl pattern settles and dries.
-
Cetyl Alcohol and Cetearyl Alcohol: Lightweight fatty alcohols that form the conditioning base of the formula, providing the creamy texture for easy application while contributing softness and slip without the heaviness of heavier emollients.

The Craft Curl System Routine
The Curl System Conditioner is Step 2 in the Craft Curl System, a 2-step wash-day routine designed to cleanse and condition fine or perm-treated hair in sequence without over-loading it.
-
Step 1 - Craft Curl System Shampoo: Gently lifts away daily buildup, excess oil, and product residue from fine or perm-treated hair with a mild cleansing base, refreshing the scalp and hair without the heavy surfactant load that can disrupt curl pattern or flatten fine strands.
-
Step 2 - Craft Curl System Conditioner (this product): Applied through the mid-lengths and ends after shampooing, the conditioner smooths the cuticle, reduces frizz and static, and restores softness and bounce, completing the wash-day routine with a lightweight finish that leaves fine and curl-enhanced hair feeling conditioned, not coated.
Want both steps together? The Craft Curl System Shampoo and Conditioner Set includes both products - the complete lightweight routine in one.
For best results, use consistently after every wash as part of your regular routine.
How to Use
- Shampoo with the Craft Curl System Shampoo and rinse thoroughly.
- Apply the Curl System Conditioner through the mid-lengths and ends, avoiding the roots and scalp to maintain volume at the base.
- Work through gently with fingers or a wide-tooth comb for even coverage and to assist detangling.
- Leave for 1–3 minutes, then rinse thoroughly - a cool water rinse helps the cuticle lie flatter for a smoother finish and better-defined curl.
- For perm-treated hair, gently scrunch the hair upward while rinsing to encourage the curl pattern to re-form.
- Style as usual - diffuse or air-dry for best results on curl-enhanced hair.
Want to Add Scalp Care to Your Routine?
The Curl System takes care of the hair, but the scalp needs consistent nourishment too. Adding the BioScalp Advanced Scalp Tonic as a daily leave-in after washing delivers Biotin, Ginseng, Niacinamide, and soothing botanicals to the scalp throughout the day, supporting the follicle environment that your fine or perm-treated hair grows from.
