 Acidic Bonding Concentrate Hair Bandage Balm for Split Ends

I have very long wavy hair that is prone to split ends and breakage and I have been looking for products to help with this, and I have to say this balm is exactly what I needed. After showering I apply a bit from midlengths to the end, focusing a little extra on the very tips since that's where I usually see the most frizz and fray. I then air dry for a while until my hair is about 50-70% dry and then hit just the roots with a blow dryer to add some volume. The balm stays very well during this time, it's liquid enough to evenly spread through my lengths but it doesn't run or drip and it seems to dry fairly quickly, and it's not at all greasy or waxy. Then once my hair is fully dry I gently run a brush through it and enjoy a few days of soft, smooth hair with less frizzing, more shine, and that still has plenty of movement. It's only been a couple weeks of use but I also think I'm seeing less breakage and finding fewer bits of broken off hair when I wash it. It also makes my hair smell wonderful, it's a clean and fresh scent that dries to be less potent than when it's fresh out of the jar so if you're sensitive to scented products I think this could still work for you. My only complaint is I wish it came in a larger size! This has become a permanent part of my routine. I highly recommend to anyone dealing with split ends, breakage, frizz, or overall dullness or rough texture.

So far, so good on this product. My split ends look smooth.

I've only used this product a couple of times since purchasing it but I can tell a noticeable difference each time I use it. It makes the ends of my hair look and feel healthier. You truly only need a small amount for fine hair as it is a little thick.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I absolutely loved this product! The texture is creamy and soft, and doesn't feel oily at all, which is great for oily hair like mine. I noticed a difference after just the first use, especially in my split ends. They looked so much healthier, and my hair overall felt shiny, sleek and soft. Another plus was that my hair did not get oily as quickly as it usually does after using this product! The only downside for me was the scent. I found it a bit strong for my liking, and I personally prefer sweeter and more floral fragrances for my hair. But overall, the results made it for it. Highly recommended.
