A solid addition to your hair care arsenal

Expect a process with this Recovery Balm
I was excited to try the Kristin Ess Anytime Anywhere Recovery Balm to nourish and repair my locks. I had zero expectations since I had never used this type of hair balm previously and this was also my first experience with a Kristin Ess product.

Love this product ..tames frizz and adds shine!
Hair Type Wavy Hair
Love this hair balm..it' tames any flyaway hair and adds shine to my hair leaving it nourished and very healthy looking. Never sticky and doesn't have an overpowering scent. I highly recommend this product bc it makes your hair so healthy looking..love it!
Lovely
Hair Type Straight Hair
This product truly does what it says! It's super moisturizing and gives a nice shine and gloss to the hair which makes it wearable! The reason it is not 5 stars for me personally is because the scent can be a little much after wearing for a while. I am pretty sensitive to perfume and scents so definitely be careful for that. Thank you for sending this complimentary product!
Worked for my daily bun
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] As someone who has to wear a bun every single day for work, my ends were starting to feel the damage — dry, frizzy, and just plain tired. Enter the Kristin Ess Anytime Anywhere Recovery Balm + Bun Cap. This balm has been a total game-changer in my routine. I apply it before putting my hair up, and not only does it help control frizz and flyaways, but it actually nourishes my strands throughout the day. It leaves my hair feeling soft, hydrated, and noticeably less brittle when I take it down. The texture is like a solid balm stick, which makes application mess-free and perfect for on-the-go use. Plus, the Zip-Up Technology is supposed to help strengthen and smooth split ends — and I honestly have noticed a difference after just a few uses. If you're someone who lives in a daily bun like me, this is a solid add to your routine.
I would not buy
Hair Type Wavy Hair
I didn't love this. I don't think it did anything for my hair at all. It did tame flyaways but that's about all and all I would use it for. The smell was okay too. I personally would not purchase in the future or recommend.I got this product for free
Would recommend
Hair Type Wavy Hair
Product smells good and works amazingly! Packaging is small and easy to travel with and it doesn't leave a nasty texture on hair which I love cause some balms leave a greasy feeling
