Nice leave in, but did not protect color

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I thought this was good as a leave in conditioner, but unfortunately I do not believe this offered the best color protection. I actually have noticed my hair getting lighter after using this and looking like I have highlights in my hair. I w...

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I absolutely love this protectant spray. Not only does it smell amazing but it makes my hair so smooth. My hair isn't frizzy and I love that it has a color protectant in it also.

Leaves my hair silky smooth

Submitted 6 days ago

By Marie

From Los Angeles

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This product smells so good and makes my hair feel healthy and look so shiny after using. I chemically straighten my hair every six months and use a flat iron when my roots grow out and this helps prevent damage. I also dye my hair so it keeps the color strong. I love the spray bottle and I have not had any issues with it.

Good for heat styling

Submitted 6 days ago

By J

From Florida

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I used this protector after coloring my hair at home. It smells amazing! The spray distributes the product nicely through my damp hair before heat styling. I think that it works well. I would like to try the whole line of products together to see how well they work.
