French to English translations [Non-PRO]
Cosmetics, Beauty / Hair care product
French term or phrase: démêlant
In a description of a hair colouring product: Composition
"agents démêlants et brillantants"...

My logic tells me this is probably an anti-tangle agent - but I would welcome any comments or suggestions as to how to correctly phrase (for an online descriptive product brochure aimed at young women) Thanks.
