Boticário Match Ciência das Curvas 2-in-1 Conditioner & Leave-In for Curls – 10.14 fl oz (300 ml)

Boticário Match Ciência das Curvas 2-in-1 Conditioner & Leave-In – 300 ml (10.14 fl oz) is a Brazilian curl-care staple built for one simple idea: every curl is different, and one bottle should be able to handle both steps of your routine.

Created in Brazil by O Boticário, the Match Ciência das Curvas line was co-created and approved by women with wavy, curly and coily hair, and is designed for curl patterns 2A through 4C. The formula pairs a blend of seven oils of 99.6% natural origin with a molecular moisturizing blend, so strands feel nourished from roots to ends.

Because it is a true 2-in-1, you choose how to use it: work it through wet hair and rinse it out like a classic conditioner, or apply a small amount to lengths and ends and leave it in as a styling cream. Same bottle, two very different finishes.

Key Features:

• 2-in-1 conditioner and leave-in: one product that works as a rinse-out conditioner or as a no-rinse leave-in finisher.
• Anti-knot action: helps deliver instant detangling and slip so curls separate without a fight.
• Blend of 7 oils, 99.6% natural origin: baobab, moringa, black cumin, prickly pear and more, for nourishment, hydration, shine and definition.
• Molecular moisturizing blend: ingredients with osmoregulation potential that help support the fiber's water balance.
• High emollient power: helps reduce the appearance of porosity along the length of the strand.
• Low-poo and no-poo friendly: 100% released for curly routines – no sulfates, parabens, silicones or salt.
• Vegan formula, cruelty-free brand: made in Brazil with a fresh, sophisticated Match fragrance.

How To Use

1. As a conditioner (rinse out) – step 1: after shampooing, apply along wet, freshly washed lengths.
2. As a conditioner (rinse out) – step 2: let it sit for 1 minute, then rinse thoroughly.
3. As a leave-in (do not rinse) – step 1: apply a small amount through the lengths and ends of damp or dry hair.
4. As a leave-in (do not rinse) – step 2: do not rinse; style as desired.

Expert Tip: on wash day, use it both ways – rinse out the first application to detangle in the shower, then add a pea-sized amount as a leave-in on damp hair to shape and hold definition while it dries.

Ingredients (Highlights)

• Blend of African-inspired seed oils (Baobab, Moringa, Black Cumin, Prickly Pear): emollient oils that help nourish and soften the fiber and support shine and curl definition.

FAQ

Do I use this as a conditioner or as a leave-in?

Either – that is the point of the product. As a conditioner, apply to wet washed hair, wait 1 minute and rinse. As a leave-in, apply a small amount to lengths and ends of damp or dry hair and do not rinse. You can also do both in the same wash day.

Can I use it both ways on the same day?

Yes. Many curly routines rinse it out in the shower for detangling and then use a smaller amount as a leave-in on damp hair before styling. Start with less than you think you need when leaving it in, since too much can weigh fine curls down.

Is it suitable for my curl type?

The line is developed for curl patterns 2A to 4C, from loose waves to tight coils, and was co-created and approved by women across that range. Looser waves usually prefer it as a rinse-out conditioner; tighter coils often prefer the leave-in application.

Is it low-poo and no-poo friendly?

Yes. The formula is free of sulfates, parabens, silicones and salt, so it fits low-poo and no-poo routines. It is a vegan formula from a cruelty-free brand.

Does it contain any common allergens?

Yes. It contains Soybean (Glycine Soja) Methyl Esters and Coconut (Cocos Nucifera) Seed Butter, plus a fragrance with declarable allergens such as Limonene, Linalool and Geraniol. Read the full INCI list above and patch test before first use if you are sensitive.
