What owners single out
In their words
“It is one of my go to products because it’s so lightweight and literally melting into my hair without it ever feeling greasy. It helps keeps my ends looking healthy and reduces breakage, especially when I’m using heat. The shine it gives is everything and I always get complimented on my hair that it looks healthy. The scent is good it’s light, fresh, and fresh without being overpowering.”

“Can be applied on damp or dry hair. Smooths frizz, tames flyaways and adds shine to my dry, medium length hair. Has a citrus scent with notes of lemon and orange peel which I like. Contains Argon Oil (ideal for daily frizz control and shine) and Maringa Oil (excellent for scalp health and deep repair). Both nourishes, strengthens and adds shine to hair.”
