Commenting on the launch, David Popplewell, Global Marketing Manager, Ashland Consumer Specialties, stated, "A large number of conditioning ingredients in the marketplace address dull, rough, difficult to comb hair, but none revert strands back to a hydrophobic state long enough to provide meaningful value for consumers.
