-
Restore Conditioner is a luxe, silicone-free conditioner formulated for colored, chemically treated, weakened, or damaged hair. It conditions + detangles while reversing the look + feel of damage, leaving hair stronger, softer + more manageable with every wash.
-
Restore Conditioner conditions damaged hair while repairing + protecting against future breakage. Paired with Restore Shampoo, it delivers 95% less breakage with every wash, keeping hair cleaner + healthier for longer. The silicone-free formula adds slip, smoothness + shine while reinforcing strand strength.
-
Anyone with colored, chemically treated, weakened, or damaged hair should use Restore Conditioner. It was formulated for anyone whose hair needs more than everyday conditioning: strands that break easily, feel rough, or have been through repeated heat styling, coloring, or chemical processing.
-
Restore Conditioner works by repairing the look + feel of damage from the outside in. The silicone-free formula coats each strand in a lightweight smoothing layer that reduces friction during brushing + styling, which is a leading cause of everyday breakage. Emollient ingredients reinforce strand strength, so hair becomes more resilient with each wash.
-
Yes, Restore Conditioner works on bleached hair. Bleaching lifts the cuticle, strips moisture + weakens hair bonds, leaving strands prone to breakage. Restore Conditioner replenishes conditioning where bleached hair needs it most, while its emollient ingredients reinforce strength to reduce ongoing breakage. For deeply compromised bleached hair, add a treatment such as Triple Bond Complex for stronger results.
-
Yes, Restore Conditioner works on heat-damaged hair. Heat from blow dryers, flat irons + curling tools roughens the cuticle + weakens the protein structure of each strand, which is what makes heat-styled hair feel dry, rough + breakage-prone. Restore Conditioner reinforces strand strength + smooths the cuticle, helping hair feel softer + more resilient. Adding a heat protectant before styling can help prevent further damage.
-
Yes, Restore Conditioner helps with breakage. Paired with Restore Shampoo, it delivers 95% less breakage with every wash + reinforces hair strength so strands become more resilient over time. Most everyday breakage happens from friction during brushing, styling + washing, and Restore Conditioner's lightweight smoothing layer reduces that friction at the source.
-
Yes, Restore Conditioner helps with the look + feel of split ends. The formula smooths the cuticle + reduces the friction that worsens this type of damage over time, so ends look and feel softer + less frayed. Pair Restore Conditioner with regular trims to keep split ends from working their way further up the strand.
-
Yes, Restore Conditioner can reverse the look + feel of hair damage. The formula repairs the cuticle surface, smooths roughened strands + reinforces strength, so hair looks shinier, feels softer + breaks less. Severely damaged strands [structural damage to the internal bonds, such as hair that's been heavily bleached] can't be fully rebuilt by any conditioner. What Restore Conditioner can do is improve appearance, manageability + resilience with every wash.
-
Apply Restore Conditioner from your mid-lengths to your ends, where damage concentrates most. The ends are the oldest part of each strand and have been through the most heat styling, brushing + chemical processing, so they need the most repair. Keeping conditioner off the scalp itself helps roots stay fresh between washes.
-
How much Restore Conditioner you should use depends on your hair's length, density + level of damage. Start with a quarter-sized amount + add more if your hair absorbs it quickly. More damaged hair tends to be more porous, so it may drink in product faster + benefit from a slightly more generous application.
-
Leave Restore Conditioner in for a few minutes before rinsing thoroughly. That gives the formula time to condition, detangle + smooth the cuticle. For especially damaged or porous hair, you can leave it in a little longer before rinsing for deeper conditioning.
-
No, Restore Conditioner will not weigh your hair down. Many damage-repair conditioners rely on heavy silicones to mask damage, which can flatten hair + leave buildup over time. Restore Conditioner's silicone-free formula gives damaged hair smoothness + strength without sacrificing movement.
-
No, Restore Conditioner does not cause buildup. Traditional silicones can collect on strands over time, dulling shine + weighing hair down. Restore Conditioner's silicone-free formula rinses clean with every wash, and paired with Restore Shampoo, it keeps hair cleaner + healthier for longer.
-
Restore Conditioner is different from other Living Proof conditioners because it's specially formulated for colored, chemically treated, weakened, or damaged hair, with a focus on reducing breakage + reinforcing strength. Other conditioners within Living Proof's lineup target different haircare challenges, including volume for fine hair, hydration for dull or dry hair, frizz control + curl definition.
-
Restore Conditioner is different from other reparative conditioners in a few ways. Most reparative conditioners rely on heavy silicones to coat the hair, which masks damage temporarily but leaves buildup that weighs strands down. Restore Conditioner addresses the root cause instead, using emollient ingredients to reinforce strength + smooth the cuticle. The formula prevents 70% of damage from repeat grooming, delivers 95% less breakage with every wash [paired with Restore Shampoo], and is silicone-free, sulfate-free + vegan.
-
Whether you should use Restore Conditioner or Perfect hair Day™ Conditioner depends on your hair's primary concern. Restore Conditioner is the choice when damage repair is your main concern, built for hair that's been heat-styled, color-treated, or chemically processed. Perfect hair Day™ Conditioner is the choice when hydration + everyday shine are what you're after. Both are silicone-free, sulfate-free + vegan.
-
Whether you should use Restore Conditioner, Moisture Rescue Mask, or Triple Bond Complex depends on what your hair needs, since each plays a different role in your haircare routine. Restore Conditioner is a daily-use conditioner that reinforces hair strength + reverses the look + feel of damage. Moisture Rescue Mask is a quick fix for dry hair that delivers intense softness, smoothness + resilience, with protection against dryness for up to 3 washes. Triple Bond Complex is a pre-shampoo bond-building treatment proven to make hair 8x stronger + reverse a year's worth of damage with just one use. If your hair is especially damaged, you can use a combination of these three products for extra moisture + deeper repair.
-
Yes, you can use Restore Conditioner every day. The lightweight, silicone-free formula conditions without leaving residue or heaviness, and gentle daily conditioning helps protect fragile, damaged strands from the friction that causes breakage.
-
It doesn't take long to see results from Restore Conditioner. Paired with Restore Shampoo, a single wash delivers 95% less breakage, with softer, shinier + more manageable hair. Hair feels stronger + more resilient with regular use as the formula reinforces strength wash after wash.
-
Yes, you can use Restore Conditioner without the matching Restore Shampoo. The silicone-free formula still conditions, detangles + delivers repair benefits on its own, regardless of which shampoo you use. If you want maximum strength, though, pair it with Restore Shampoo for best results; the 95% less breakage claim is based on using both together.
-
Yes, you can use Restore Conditioner with any other Living Proof products, including [but not limited to]: shampoos, treatments, stylers, heat protectants + dry shampoos. For a complete damage-repair routine, pair it with Restore Shampoo + a treatment such as Triple Bond Complex.

Restore Conditioner is formulated for damaged hair, so people with healthy, undamaged hair may not see strong benefits + may prefer a lighter conditioner. If you have fine, flat hair seeking volume, try Full Conditioner. If your hair is dull or dry but not damaged, Perfect hair Day™ Conditioner is a good fit. If you have curly, coily, or wavy hair + want to enhance your natural curl pattern, check out the Curl Conditioner.
-
Yes, Restore Conditioner is silicone-free. Instead of traditional silicones, the formula delivers the five key benefits people love about silicones [detangling, slip, sleekness, conditioning + shine] while keeping hair cleaner + healthier for longer.
-
Yes, Restore Conditioner is sulfate-free. It does not contain SLS or SLES, two harsh surfactants that can strip natural oils + dull color-treated hair.

In fact, Restore Conditioner's repair benefit can actually reduce the breakage that often comes with chemical processing.
-
