Words From Our Community
Honest reviews from skincare lovers around the globe.
It has a rich, thick texture and holds hair well from the middle to the ends. However, the scent is a little weak, which is not to my liking...! (It may not be satisfying for those who like sweet scents.)
I've bought it many times. It's great value for money.
I use a hair iron every day, so I tried this. I feel like my hair condition has improved the next morning!
When I use it before ironing, the gloss of the finished product is completely different. It makes the surface smooth without making it heavy, and I feel like it's less likely to become stiff due to heat damage.
It was a good feeling (*^o^*)
