It’s a conditioner, yes, but I use it almost exclusively to detangle my damp hair.

I can cover my whole head and lightly mist my roots with about eight spritzes.

Cosmetic chemistGinger Kingexplains that the key ingredients behind this conditioner are tried-and-true.
“This is a traditional formula with quats (quaternary ammonium compounds) for detangling,” King explains.
“These quats are the first three ingredients listed after water.
Guar gum (gel-forming fiber extracted from the guar plant seed) improves the slip and spreadability.”
If you’re wary of the metal on your scalp, don’t be.
There’s a circulation-stimulating, “hurts-so-good” factor here worth wagering with.
As for the milk?
There’s a rich history of the substance being used in hair andskin treatments.
All of that aside, I’m a sucker for anything “milk.”
Something about it tickles the tiny caveman in my brain.
It could be human nature at work, but it could also be straight-up vibes.
In addition to its detangling abilities, the Milk_Shake Leave-In Conditioner offers a range of other birthday-cake-smelling benefits.
The jury’s out, but I’m all in.
