Since I started using Eight the Thalasso's "Serum Hair Milk" after bathing, my hair has become more manageable, so I decided to try this one too. I bought it hoping for wetness, shine, and damage repair, but it didn't really give my hair that wet feeling or shine. It has a loose texture more like milk than a balm, and it's easy to use without leaving an oily, greasy finish. I no longer feel the roughness in the ends of my hair when shampooing, so I'm using it as a hair cream with damage repair effects. I don't really like the scent, so I've minus one star, but it didn't worsen the damage to my ends, so I'll be buying it again.
