• History

  For many years oils had been used to moisturize the hair, however earlier types would leave hair oily and would stain clothing and furniture. The first modern day conditioner, brilliantine, was introduced in 1900 at the Exposition Universelle in Paris by Ed. Pinaud. Modern science has improved the quality of hair conditioner by adding silicone, fatty alcohols, and quaternary ammonium compounds, allowing it to moisturize without feeling oily and weighing hair down.
