Our Protein Shot Leave-In Hair Conditioner was created to complement our Cream Conditioner. While our conditioner does a fantastic job, sometimes hair needs a little more hydration and TLC to keep it strong and healthy. We think leave-in treatments should care for hair, boost moisture and shine, help detangle knots and not weigh down the hair. Our Protein Shot does just that.

Not all leave-ins are created equal

The point of using a leave-in conditioner is to moisturize, protect and detangle hair. We use naturally derived oils that penetrate deep into the hair, exactly where you want and need them. We find Jojoba Oil, Olive Oil and Coconut the best at deeply nourishing hair, detangling it and keeping it soft and s-MOO-th.

Most leave-in hair conditioners are made using silicone-based ingredients, usually big words that end with –cone (keep an eye out for these on product labels!) that coat the hair in something slippery. While they detangle knots and make your hair feel like heaven, they sit on top of the hair shaft and make it ‘feel’ hydrated, but they don’t offer much in the way of real, deep hydration.

Buildup is a real bummer

Another problem we find with silicone-based ingredients is that they build up and leave a residue on the hair over time and it can be gosh-darn difficult to get rid of. Silicone can start to weigh the hair down, leaving it heavy, lifeless and dull. Even a little bit of buildup on the scalp can start to cause irritation, blocking hair follicles and its overall ability to breathe and regulate – not the best environment for healthy hair growth, in our opinion. Silicone is an outdated ingredient that just keeps sticking around, literally.

More than just hydration for your hair

As well as getting the conditioning job done, there’s quite a bit more about our formula that we'd like to brag about. We only use high-quality, natural ingredients that keep your hair nourished and moisturized, and our ultra-hydrating formula helps protect hair from the damage of heat styling. Simply douse your hair with a dollop after toweling and your hair is ready for the hair dryer.

We also tossed in a healthy dose of Milk Protein which is easily absorbed by hair fibers and creates a protective protein layer. It also gets into every layer of the hair cuticle and revitalizes hair’s natural protective layer giving you stronger, easier-to-manage, more resilient hair. But what's in our all-natural conditioner is just as important as what's not. It also contains no parabens or other synthetic preservatives like yucky phenoxyethanol.

Update and upgrade your hair care by kicking silicone to the curb and make way for natural and superior ingredients to condition your coif. Let us know if you have any questions about our conditioner and we’ll do our best to wash your concerns away.

Can Protein Shot Leave-In be used as a hair mask?

This luxurious cream is a bit of a multi-tasker and doubles as a hair mask whenever you’re in the MOO-d. Simply slather a healthy dose onto dry hair; the longer you leave it on the better and rinse out when you’re good and ready. You only need a small amount, and we suggest focusing on your ends if you’re a little oiler on top.

Your Protein Shot Leave-In Conditioner contains a fragrance. Aren’t fragrances bad?

We designed our Protein Shot Leave-In Conditioner to be suitable for people with itchy and sensitive scalps, but we also know that many people, including ourselves, enjoy having a fragrance in our hair products. To give our Protein Shot its delicious, signature scent without compromising its non-irritating nature, we use a special hypoallergenic fragrant oil, a proprietary blend whereby each component in it is less than the EU allergy threshold. Also, it’s free from phthalates, which is a major concern in fragrances.

Is Protein Shot Leave-In Conditioner made of milk?

We aren’t called MooGoo because our products are made with milk. Putting fresh milk into a hair care product and putting it on a shelf would not end well. We use ethically and sustainably sourced Milk Protein from a credible Australian supplier.

Is Protein Shot Leave-In Conditioner suitable for children?

Our Protein Shot Leave-In Conditioner is made for the whole family! For all ages, from adults to children, and everything in between. Many of our parent customers call this a real lifesaver to help get a comb through their children’s hair, without the silicone and without the tears. We’re always here to help. If allergies are a concern, as with all natural products, patch test before use.

Where do you source your Milk Protein?

When sourcing ingredients, animal welfare is a topic that we’re very mindful of. We source our Milk Protein from a credible supplier in Australia and we spoke with them extensively to ensure that ethical practices are implemented throughout their business.

What is the pH level of your products?

Our Protein Shot Leave-In Conditioner is slightly acidic, balanced to the pH of human skin at 5.5 to 6.0.

Are your products tested on animals?

The only animals we use for testing are our own bodies. We never test on animals and will not export to countries that do.

Is Protein Shot Leave-In Conditioner OK for curly hair?

We’ve found that our Protein Shot Leave-In Conditioner is pretty popular with the curly hair community, and along with our Milk Shampoo and Cream Conditioner, is a product that many followers of the Curly Girl Method use regularly. Curls and waves tend to look and feel their best when hair is kept healthy and hydrated, and not covered in buildup weighing it down.

I have dry / oily / damaged / thin hair. Will Protein Shot Leave-In Conditioner work for me?

We often get asked why we don’t make different leave-ins specific to different hair types such as damaged / thin / oily hair etc. While we believe that people have different hair types, if you look closely at ingredient labels, you’ll notice there often isn't much difference between products specifically made for each variation.

A treatment conditioner made for thin or damaged hair is usually higher in silicone-based ingredients, so they really coat the hair, making it ‘feel’ thicker and stronger. This usually leads to buildup on the hair that may require a clarifying shampoo to remove.

Whether your hair is curly, wavy, straight, thin, thick, long or short, conditioner should hydrate the hair without causing problems. In our opinion, we don’t think different conditioners are necessary; you only need one good one (like ours!) and vary the amount you use depending on how much you need for your head of hair.

Are leave-in conditioners good for your hair?

Consistently applying a natural leave-in conditioner is one of the best ways to moisturize and protect dry, damaged and colour treated hair and help prevent future damage and split ends. If your hair ends don’t always break off, then your hair can get longer, if that’s something you want.

But most leave-in conditioners are made using silicone-based ingredients that coat the hair in something slippery, only making it feel silky. While they can make your hair feel like heaven, they don’t offer much in the way of hydration. They also build up on the hair and can start to weigh it down, leaving it heavy, lifeless and dull. We think switching to a gentler, more natural leave-in conditioner is one of the best things you can do for your hair.

Can leave-in conditioner damage your hair?

Some leave-in conditioners are made with harsh, synthetic ingredients like silicones, alcohols, sulfates etc. and using these over regularly could damage your hair over time. But not all leave-in conditioners are made with these, like ours, which is only made with nice and natural ingredients.

Are natural conditioners better for the environment?

Natural hair conditioning ingredients are much better for the environment when they’re washed down the drain and enter our waterways. Silicones and other synthetic ingredients like sulphates don’t easily break down into their natural components. In fact, silicones are not biodegradable.

Is a leave-in conditioner the same as a detangler?

Leave-in conditioners contain ingredients that moisturize, condition and protect the hair. These can also help with detangling and make it easier to brush through knots. Detangling sprays often only contain slippery ingredients like silicone to quickly remove tangles but don’t come with a lot of other benefits to the hair. We prefer using a natural leave-in conditioner to tackle tangles without silicone and condition your coif at the same time.

Do natural leave-in hair conditioners work?

Natural conditioning ingredients work just as well at smoothing and detangling the hair as their synthetic counterparts. Saying sayonara to silicone just means healthier hair without the burden of buildup. Silicone also doesn’t offer much in the way of hydration. Instead, natural leave-in products like ours use naturally-derived oils to penetrate deeply into hair to deliver hydration, exactly where you want and need it.

Why are natural leave-in conditioners better?

Natural conditioners are made with natural oils and conditioning ingredients that won’t build up on the hair and scalp like silicone does. Natural ingredients also break down once they reach our waterways while silicone and other synthetic ingredients don’t.
