PATTERN Medium Conditioner For Curlies
by PATTERN · hair_care
Editor's Take
Shea Butter and a ten-oil stack doing the heavy lifting, but the slip comes from Amodimethicone and three different quats; effective on knots, less so on clean-beauty alignment.
Four-pillar formula scores
- Efficacy: 7.8 / 10
- Modern Tech: 6.5 / 10
- Clean Beauty: 3.6 / 10
- Sustainability: 6.3 / 10
The Verdict
This is a technically competent curl conditioner that knows its job: detangle, seal moisture, prevent breakage. The Keravis protein system and the oil-and-butter stack are real, but the formula leans hard on silicones and synthetic quats to deliver the slip curly hair demands. The fragrance is undisclosed, the ethoxylated surfactants are dated, and the overall chemistry reads more drugstore-performance than clean-beauty innovation. Worth it if you prioritize immediate results over ingredient scrutiny. If you want both, you'll need to look elsewhere.
