Nettle, lemon balm, and wheat proteins are listed in this conditioner. What do these ingredients actually do? — Conditioner for oily hair with lemon balm, nettle, and wheat protein extracts, 430 ml - SVOBODA

Each of these ingredients contributes something different, and knowing that can help you decide how to use this conditioner.

Wheat proteins are the conditioning component. They contain amino acids that are part of the hair fibre itself. In this formula, they help form a thin conditioning film on the hair surface. That film is what makes strands feel smoother, look less rough, and comb through more easily. Because the film is described as thin, it fits the idea of a lighter conditioner, not a heavy-coating one. For hair that is oily at the roots and dry at the ends, that is a practical benefit: you get conditioning where you need it without a dense finish.

Lemon balm and nettle extracts are not responsible for smoothing the hair; they are included for the scalp and root feeling. According to the product description, they are commonly used in scalp and hair cosmetics aimed at freshness and light volume. Their role in this formula is to help the scalp feel less greasy too quickly and to help hair keep a cleaner, airier look at the roots.

In other words, the wheat proteins do the work on the hair shaft, while the botanical extracts support the perception of fresh, clean roots. Since this is a rinse-off conditioner, you do not need to keep it on the scalp for long. Rinsing thoroughly removes any excess while leaving the light conditioning film on the strands.
