    GlossaryConditioning Agents (Hair Conditioners)

    substances in hair products that improve texture and manageability

    Conditioning agents, often referred to as hair conditioners, are substances used in hair care products to improve the texture, appearance, and manageability of hair. They work by smoothing the hair cuticle, reducing static electricity, and providing moisture, which helps to prevent damage and breakage. Common conditioning agents include silicones, proteins, and quaternary ammonium compounds.
