Merit Regular Conditioner 200ml — lightweight conditioning for manageable, smooth hair without heavy buildup.
About this product
The Merit Regular Conditioner is the trusted partner to Japan's iconic Merit Shampoo, providing just enough conditioning to leave hair smooth, detangled, and manageable without the heavy silicone coating that weighs fine hair down. KAO developed the Merit Conditioner to complement the shampoo's thorough-cleanse approach — the conditioner restores surface smoothness after cleansing without clogging the scalp. Its light, quick-absorbing formula makes it ideal for daily use by the whole family, including those with fine or medium hair that goes limp with richer treatments.
How to use
- After shampooing and rinsing, gently squeeze excess water from hair
- Apply conditioner to the lengths and ends — avoid the scalp if hair is prone to oiliness
- Work through with fingers or a wide-tooth comb for even distribution
- Leave on for 1–2 minutes to allow conditioning agents to penetrate
- Rinse thoroughly with warm water until slipperiness is gone
Ingredients
- Stearyl trimethyl ammonium chloride — cationic conditioning agent that deposits on negatively charged damaged hair to restore smoothness and reduce static
- Cetyl alcohol — emollient fatty alcohol that softens the cuticle and contributes to creamy texture
- Dimethicone — lightweight silicone that adds slip and shine without excessive buildup on daily use
- Glycerin — humectant that supports moisture balance in the hair shaft
- Citric acid — maintains product pH to keep cuticle sealed and hair glossy
- Fragrance — fresh, clean scent matching the Merit Shampoo for a cohesive wash experience
FAQ
Should I apply conditioner to my scalp?
Apply to lengths and ends only; applying to the scalp can cause excess oiliness and product buildup at the roots.
Can I leave the conditioner on longer than 2 minutes?
A longer leave-on time does not significantly increase benefit with this rinse-out formula; 1–2 minutes is sufficient.
Is this conditioner suitable for fine hair?
Yes — the lightweight formula is specifically suited to fine to medium hair that may be weighed down by richer conditioners.
Can children use this conditioner?
Yes — Merit is formulated for family use across age groups; rinse thoroughly and avoid eye contact.
How does this pair with other brand conditioners?
It is designed to work optimally with Merit Shampoo but functions normally with other shampoos.
