Even though it's an oil, it's not sticky and feels smooth to use. I love it because it makes my dry, frizzy hair smooth and light, and makes it easy to run my fingers through. The Smooth one has a "pear and jasmine scent. " I love the scent of pear, so the scent and feel are perfect for me!
I use a water-based out-of-bath treatment before drying, but as expected, it's drying out and becoming dry, so I bought this to apply after drying. As it says smooth, it's not sticky and refreshing. I feel like it makes my hair a little more manageable and moisturized after applying it.
This is a repeat purchase. It's non-sticky and easy to use. The only downside is that it's a small amount, so it runs out quickly.
My personal impressions after using it are that I thought the size was just right, and the smooth type suited my hair type, so being able to choose the hair oil that suits my hair is appealing. I also personally liked the scent of pear and jasmine. By the way, I also thought it was appealing that the "Smooth Type," "Moist Type," and "Damage Care" all have different scents. (※All impressions are from a personal experience of use. ) (※Effects may vary from person to person. )
I have thin, loose, bleached, short hair. I use one pump and then dry it with a hair dryer. This is a lightweight oil with a smooth texture. It's the lightest hair oil I own. My hair is thin and tends to get flat, but it's easy to use. It doesn't leave my hair feeling very manageable or moisturized, but it does leave it smooth. Because it's so light, it wasn't very effective on curly hair. It contains repair ingredients and heat-activating ingredients, so it seems to repair my hair to some extent. The scent is neither too sweet nor too refreshing, and has a deep feel that I personally like. I also have other oils that straighten my hair quite well, but if I use them every day, my hair gets very built up, so I don't use it every day and try to use it the day before I go out. On the other hand, this one does make my hair a little frizzy, but because it's light, it doesn't feel like it's coating my hair, so I don't have to worry about buildup, and I can use it every day without hesitation! I wish there were more lightweight oils like this that are easy for people with thin hair to use.
