It's amazing because it makes my hair smooth from the day I use it! The amount I use also depends on how damaged my hair is, as I have a short bob, but I was able to see results with about a teaspoon or less, so I'm very happy! I feel like I can maintain the shine and smoothness of my hair by using it once or twice a week! However, it may also depend on the shampoo you use. If your shampoo is too moisturizing, the top of your hair may feel too moisturized and sticky, so I recommend trying it on just the ends the first time you use it! I personally find it better to use this product without a conditioner! The scent is great, so it's both hair care and a way to treat yourself! It's reasonably priced and easy to purchase, so I keep it in stock!
