I’ve been using this product for about a week and I’m absolutely in LOVE with it!!
I colored and dyed my hair for years which caused lots of damage and hair loss. Last year I chopped all of my damaged hair off and I’ve been on a journey to grow it out long, strong and healthy.
Now as stated on the bottle it won’t make a person grow more hair (I’ve been using Rosemary oil shampoo and a scalp massager for that which works very well) but it is designed to make hair stronger/better conditioned so that it won’t break. Right now the length of my hair is about halfway down my neck and I was noticing that a lot of the hairs were sticking out and feeling dry/full of static despite using conditioner in the shower. I live in Canada where the winter air is very drying and doesn’t help this problem either.
I read up on leave in conditioners and this product had excellent reviews as well as a great price point (I paid $10 Canadian at the time of writing this review).
These are my observations so far:
- The spray nozzle can be a bit finicky/difficult to use as it’s kind of small. I find that spraying it in your hands then working it through the hair can make it easier to apply. It can feel a bit greasy on the hands but it washes off with no problem
- I like to comb it through my hair using my hands and a hair brush to ensure even coverage from root to the ends. The brush glides through my hair and it never gets snagged on any knots
- It smells wonderful! It smells stronger when first putting it on damp hair, but once your hair is dried I find that it isn’t as strong. I like this because I am sensitive to scents and get headaches if I smell a strong hair product all day
- My hair is now very soft, silky and shiny. Theres no frizz anymore and my hair doesn’t feel heavy which I was worried about. It actually feels lighter and I can pass my fingers through my hair without them catching in any knots
- I find it takes a little longer to dry my hair with the hair dryer, but it’s worth it because my hair doesn’t feel like straw anymore. I used my Revlon brush dryer which REALLY dries my hair out due to the high heat, and after using it to dry/style my hair it still felt soft, smooth and there were no split ends or frizz
- If I let my hair air dry after using it I find it can look “greasy” but if you brush the hair out once it’s 100% dry it will look nice and shiny
- I haven’t noticed any irritation to my scalp
- You can really feel the conditioner in your hair when you shower the next day/the hair gets wet but I’m always able to wash it out with no issue after a good shampoo
- I don’t notice any product being left on my pillow after sleeping with it in my hair. My hair also doesn’t have as many dents in it the next morning which is awesome because shorter hair tends to do this
- It hasn’t caused any acne breakouts. I’m acne prone and was worried it would break me out if my hair that’s covered in this product came into contact with my skin, but so far there’s been no issue
- I don’t notice any hair falling out in the shower or while brushing my hair out
Overall I am very impressed with this product and the only thing I’m not a fan of is the spray nozzle. But as I mentioned before, if you spray it into your hands you can apply it more easily. I can’t wait to see how my hair looks as it continues to grow out!
