Is this balm suitable for colored or heat-damaged hair? — Traditional Siberian Balm No. 3 - Against Hair Loss, with Burdock and Propolis, Grandma Agafi's Recipes, 550 ml

Yes. The product is specifically positioned for hair stressed by coloring, heat styling or seasonal changes. That means it is intended for the kind of dryness, roughness and tangling that often appear after repeated dyeing, blow-drying, straightening or curling. The conditioning base — cetearyl alcohol, cetrimonium chloride and amodimethicone — helps detangle and smooth the outer layer of the hair, which is exactly what colored and heat-styled hair usually needs after shampoo.

It is not a color-depositing mask and it does not rebuild the hair fibre or seal split ends. What it can do is coat the hair surface so strands feel softer, look smoother and are less likely to snap when you brush or style. Hydrolyzed milk protein and panthenol contribute to that coating effect, while burdock root extract, propolis and ginseng extract give the formula its herbal character.

For very dry or porous hair, you can use a slightly larger amount and focus on the ends. If your hair is fine, start with a small amount and add more only if needed, because too much conditioner can weigh it down. There is no need to change your usual shampoo; just follow it with this balm and rinse thoroughly.
