Applying this to the ends of your hair at the end of your morning styling routine will reduce frizz and add shine. It has the pleasant scent of the Ichikami series and is convenient because it also has UV protection.
I use Ichikami shampoo and other products, so I bought this to get the whole line. My hair felt smooth even after blow-drying.
I use it on wet hair before blow-drying. It leaves my hair feeling smooth and dry. I usually apply oil after drying, but using this milk as well makes my hair feel moisturized and smooth. Using both doesn't make my hair sticky, and it keeps my hair in place and makes it easy to style the next day.
It has a nice scent and a small amount is enough to moisturize. I think it's good value for money.
I use about 6 pumps on my semi-long, coarse hair, and it works pretty well! It's smooth and I like the scent. Then, if I add a little oil afterwards, it helps calm my coarse hair (^^)
