Why Your Conditioner Matters
Baby hairs are the most vulnerable part of your hair growth journey. They're fragile, brittle, and break off easily from brushing, styling, or even towel-drying—prone to disappearing before they can contribute to visible thickness.

The KilgourMD Strengthen + Shield Conditioner was specifically formulated to protect these fragile new hairs by rebuilding their structure from within, increasing breakage resistance by over 60%, and delivering the essential minerals follicles need to produce strong hair. When used with the KilgourMD Shampoo, it also helps extend serum activity to as long as 6–8 hours, ensuring growth signals can actually translate into visible, lasting results.
Why Drugstore & Salon Conditioners Fall Short
Most conditioners are designed for immediate cosmetic results—instant shine, slippery-smooth texture, that "silky" feeling when you rinse. Not for protecting fragile baby hairs or supporting long-term hair strength. Conventional conditioners use heavy silicones and waxes because they create that immediate smooth, shiny coating that feels luxurious, but they smother baby hairs and weigh down fine, thinning hair in the process. "Volumizing" conditioners coat your hair shaft to create temporary fullness without actually strengthening the hair structure or protecting new growth from breaking off. They optimize for how your hair feels for a few hours after the shower-not whether your baby hairs survive or your existing hair gets lasting strength.

KilgourMD Conditioner uses dermatologist-grade ingredients that address what actually matters— baby hair protection, structural reinforcement, and mineral delivery, so fragile new growth can survive and your hair can build real strength instead of just feeling slippery for a day.
How to Use with the KilgourMD System
Conditioner: After shampooing, apply to hair—can be used from roots to ends or just mid-lengths and ends depending on your hair type. Leave for up to 5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.

Serums: Apply your KilgourMD Prevention and Treatment serums as usual after cleansing. By restoring the scalp barrier and reinforcing hair structure before serum application, the Shampoo and Conditioner extend the active window of treatment ingredients from 2–4 hours to as long as 6–8 hours while protecting new growth from breakage and delivering lasting improvements in texture, softness, and manageability. Consistent use helps maximize serum performance while improving volume, strength, and scalp comfort over time.

KEY INGREDIENTS

ResistHyal™

Penetrates the hair cuticle and forms a moisture buffer along the entire strand. Locks in up to 189× more moisture in the hair fiber, reduces brittle, broken hairs by 65%, and boosts hair volume by 48% after one month. Protects your emerging baby hairs from breakage.

Vegan Silkgel Neo™

Forms a micro-thin protective film that shields hair and scalp from thermal damage and chemical exposure while maintaining color vibrancy. Increases breaking strength of heat-damaged hair by up to 70%. Protects your serum actives from environmental degradation between washes.

Results

Most women notice immediate improvements in detangling, shine, and manageability from the first use. Hair feels softer and styles more easily. Within 4–6 weeks, hair becomes noticeably stronger and more resilient, with lasting visible improvements in volume, texture, and baby hair survival becoming evident after 90 days of consistent use.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION
Have a question? We are here to help.

Why is the Shampoo & Conditioner only available to existing serum subscribers right now?

For the initial launch, we’re offering early access to KilgourMD serum subscribers because the Shampoo and Conditioner were designed to complement the existing system. They help gently cleanse and calm the scalp while protecting the newer, more delicate hairs that often appear with consistent serum use. We’re also launching in limited quantities to ensure the level of quality and consistency we expect from every KilgourMD product. Offering early access to current subscribers allows us to do that responsibly before opening availability more broadly.

I'm already happy with my serum results. Do I really need this?

If you’re seeing good results, that’s great. The Shampoo and Conditioner are designed to support and refine those results by keeping the scalp calm and the hair fiber protected. Many people choose to add them to improve hair texture, strength, and overall hair quality, but they’re not required to continue using your serum successfully.

How often should I use the Shampoo & Conditioner?

The Shampoo and Conditioner are designed to fit easily into your existing routine. For many people, using them 2–3 times per week works well to support scalp balance without over-cleansing. That said, the sulfate-free formula is gentle enough for daily use if you prefer to wash your hair more often. Whether you wash every day or just a few times a week, the system is designed to support a healthy-looking scalp and hair without harsh stripping.

Will this weigh down my fine or thinning hair?

No. The Conditioner is intentionally lightweight and designed to condition without heaviness or residue. It smooths and protects the hair fiber while helping maintain natural movement and volume. The conditioning agents were selected to deliver softness and manageability without greasiness, making the formula well suited for fine, thinning, or volume-sensitive hair types.

Is this safe for color-treated hair?

Yes. The Conditioner includes protective technologies, including Vegan Silkgel Neo™, designed to help maintain color vibrancy and protect hair from environmental and heat-related stress. It’s safe for color-treated, bleached, or chemically processed hair.

What if I'm using other topical treatments?

The Shampoo and Conditioner are compatible with other topical treatments, including scalp serums, oils, or growth products. However, it's specifically designed to complement the KilgourMD delivery system for maximum synergy. The three-mechanism approach (barrier repair, oxidative protection, microbiome balance) helps create a clean, balanced scalp environment that supports healthy hair care routines.

Is there fragrance?

Yes. The Shampoo and Conditioner feature a light, clean signature scent with notes of yuzu, bergamot, and cedarwood, designed to feel fresh and subtle—not overpowering.

Can I use the Conditioner as a leave-in?

Yes. The Conditioner was designed to be flexible. A small amount can be applied to towel-dried hair before styling to help smooth, hydrate, and reduce frizz. Start with a small amount and adjust based on your hair’s needs.
