Skala Conditioners
Deep Hydration & Detangling for All Hair Types
Experience Skala’s Brazilian conditioning technology that transforms your wash day. Our conditioners deliver intensive moisture, effortless detangling, and lasting softness while staying 100% CGM approved. From curly to straight, transitioning to chemically treated—we have the perfect formula for your hair’s unique needs.
Why Skala Conditioners Are Essential
Skala Conditioners are the cornerstone of healthy curly, coily, and textured hair care. After cleansing with our gentle sulfate-free shampoos, conditioning is the critical step that restores moisture, seals the cuticle, and provides the slip needed for gentle detangling. Our Brazilian formulas go beyond basic conditioning—they’re enriched with powerful botanicals that transform dry, tangled hair into soft, manageable, beautifully defined locks.
What makes Skala conditioners unique is their concentrated blend of Brazilian botanicals and active ingredients. Each formula targets specific hair needs—whether you need strengthening from Passion Fruit and Patauá Oil, volume-boosting hydration from Castor Oil and Shea Butter, or intensive repair for transitioning hair. All conditioners are 100% Curly Girl Method approved, completely free from sulfates, silicones, parabens, petrolatum, and mineral oil.
Skala’s conditioning philosophy embraces the Brazilian approach to hair care—working with your hair’s natural texture rather than fighting against it. Our conditioners can be used in multiple ways: as traditional rinse-out conditioners, co-wash cleansers for mid-week refreshes, or pre-shampoo treatments to protect hair during cleansing. This versatility makes them essential tools in any hair care routine, whether you follow a strict regimen or need flexible options.
Skala’s Brazilian Conditioning Technology
Traditional conditioners often rely on silicones and heavy waxes to create temporary smoothness. Skala takes a different approach—using authentic Brazilian oils, plant extracts, and nutrients that actually nourish your hair from within. The result? Real, lasting improvement in hair health, not just surface coating that builds up over time.
Our formulas penetrate the hair shaft to deliver moisture where it’s needed most, while botanical oils seal the cuticle for enhanced shine and frizz control. This is conditioning the Brazilian way—deep nourishment that respects your hair’s natural structure and enhances what makes your texture beautiful.
Benefits of Skala Conditioners
Consistent use of Skala conditioners transforms your hair care experience. Here’s what you can expect:
Deep Hydration & Moisture
Skala conditioners deliver intensive hydration that penetrates deep into the hair shaft. Enriched with Brazilian botanicals like Patauá Oil, Shea Butter, and plant extracts, they restore moisture balance and prevent dryness that leads to breakage and frizz.
- Restores moisture to dry, thirsty strands
- Prevents moisture loss between washes
- Improves hair elasticity and strength
- Perfect for high porosity hair
Effortless Detangling
The slip provided by Skala conditioners makes detangling gentle and damage-free. Rich emollients coat each strand, allowing your fingers or wide-tooth comb to glide through knots without pulling or breaking precious hair.
- Reduces breakage during detangling
- Smooths hair cuticle for easy combing
- Minimizes mechanical damage
- Essential for CGM styling
Enhanced Shine & Softness
Brazilian botanical oils in Skala conditioners seal the hair cuticle, creating a smooth surface that reflects light beautifully. The result is natural, healthy-looking shine without silicone buildup or artificial coating.
- Natural, lasting shine from within
- Silky-soft texture without heaviness
- Smooth cuticle layer reduces frizz
- No silicone buildup or dullness
Strengthens & Fortifies
Plant proteins and vitamins in formulas like Maracujá and Crespo Divino strengthen hair structure from within. D-Panthenol and Vitamin E improve resilience, reduce breakage, and support healthy growth.
- Fortifies weak, damaged strands
- Reduces breakage and split ends
- Supports natural hair growth
- Improves overall hair health

How to Use Skala Conditioners
Get the best results from your Skala conditioner by following these expert application techniques for curly and textured hair:
Traditional Conditioning (Rinse-Out)
Step 1: After shampooing with your matching Skala shampoo, squeeze excess water from hair.
Step 2: Apply conditioner evenly to clean, damp hair from mid-lengths to ends. Avoid roots to prevent weighing hair down.
Step 3: Leave on for 1-3 minutes. Use this time to detangle gently with fingers or a wide-tooth comb.
Step 4: Rinse thoroughly with cool water to seal the cuticle and enhance shine.
Best For: Weekly wash day routine, regular maintenance conditioning.
Co-Washing (Cleansing Conditioner)
Step 1: On wet hair (skip shampooing), apply small amount of conditioner to scalp and spread throughout.
Step 2: Massage gently with fingertips using circular motions, just like you would with regular shampoo.
Step 3: Work through lengths to help remove light product buildup and refresh curls.
Step 4: Rinse thoroughly. Repeat only if additional scalp cleansing is needed.
Best For: Mid-week refreshes, sensitive scalps, gentle cleansing without stripping oils.
Pre-Shampoo Treatment (Pre-Poo)
Step 1: On dry, unwashed hair, divide into sections for thorough coverage.
Step 2: Apply conditioner generously to each section, ensuring full saturation from roots to ends.
Step 3: Leave on for 15 minutes to protect hair during the upcoming shampoo process.
Step 4: Rinse, then proceed with your regular Skala shampoo and conditioning routine.
Best For: High porosity hair, preventing moisture loss during cleansing, protecting fragile hair.
Conditioning Tips for Best Results:
- Amount Matters: Use enough conditioner to coat all hair thoroughly—curly hair needs more than you think
- Focus on Ends: Concentrate product on mid-lengths to ends where hair is oldest and needs most moisture
- Detangle While Wet: Use conditioner’s slip to gently detangle with fingers or wide-tooth comb—never detangle dry curly hair
- Leave-In Time: For extra hydration, leave conditioner on 3-5 minutes; for deep treatment, use heat cap for 15 minutes
- Cool Water Rinse: Finish with cool water to seal cuticle, lock in moisture, and enhance shine
- Don’t Over-Rinse: Leave a tiny bit of conditioner in for added moisture—especially beneficial for high porosity hair
- Consistency is Key: Use conditioner every time you shampoo; never skip this crucial moisture step
- Match Your Line: Use conditioner from the same line as your shampoo for optimal synergistic results
Conditioner vs. Treatment Cream: What’s the Difference?
Many people wonder about the difference between Skala’s conditioners and treatment creams. Here’s how they compare and when to use each:
Skala Conditioners
- Daily to weekly maintenance
- Lighter, faster-absorbing formulas
- 1-3 minute application time
- Primarily for detangling and moisture
- Rinse-out after use (in traditional method)
- Smaller 10.99 fl oz bottles
- Essential for every wash day
- Provides slip for gentle detangling
- Maintains hair health between treatments
- Perfect for regular routine use
Skala Treatment Creams
- Weekly to bi-weekly intensive care
- Richer, more concentrated formulas
- 15-30 minute application time
- Deep conditioning and repair
- Can be used as rinse-out OR leave-in
- Larger 35.2 oz jars
- Used when hair needs extra help
- 4-in-1 multi-use versatility
- Delivers intensive repair and nourishment
- Professional-level treatment option
The Best Approach: Use conditioner every time you shampoo for daily maintenance and detangling. Add a treatment cream once weekly as a deep conditioning treatment for intensive repair. For example: wash with Mais Cachos shampoo, condition with Mais Cachos conditioner (1-3 minutes), then once a week replace or supplement the conditioner with Mais Cachos treatment cream (15 minutes with heat). This combination gives you both consistent moisture and deep treatment when needed.
