Most Helpful Positive Review Amazing Product! The Kristin Ess Hair Anytime Anywhere Recovery Balm + Bun Cap compared to other products I've tried, Is The BEST out!

Most Helpful Critical Review Maybe I'm crazy.. Maybe I'm crazy and I seem to be the only one but this stuff sucks. It smells incredible! That's about the only good thing. The deodorant style application is weird and inefficient, I wish it was just a balm or lotion like other hair repair products. The 1st time I used this, I slathered my whole head for 24 hours and didn't notice a thing after washing it out...it doesn't even make your hair soft. The 2nd time, I put it only on the very ends of my hair during a 3 hour hike and after washing my hair, the ends are ruined, need a hair cut ruined. They're dry and brittle, the rest of my hair is fine and my ends weren't like this before using recovery balm. I now need a product to recover from using this. Maybe it's my hair type or the weather but I threw this away and am disappointed to say the least.

I just couldn't get past the terrible smell of it.
Not worth it 2

Needed to wash my hair 4 times to get product out Will be returning it
Terrible 3
teemy from PA
I do not understand all the great reviews! This product is difficult to apply, the bun cap is a joke (will NOT stay on), and it does absolutely NOTHING for my dry color treated hair except to make it more dry.
Great for my dry, stressed hair 5
Amanda from Boston, MA
I really like this balm. I haven't used to as an overnight treatment yet, but I've been warming a bit up in my hands and working it through the ends of my hair when they look dry. It makes it much softer and gives it a nice shine. Just don't use too much or it will look greasy. The bun cap seems like it will work well for the overnight treatment.
for the feet 2
lex from Undisclosed
This product didn't work very well for me. the ingredients are heavily oil based so it just sits on top of my hair and is difficult to wash out. I ended up using this product as a heel balm so at least I'm not wasting something and throwing it into the trash.
greasy, wet look 3
P from Undisclosed
I ordered this to help tame fly aways and to use on my dry ends. It makes my roots greasy and my ends just look wet. It seems like it does the same thing as basic coconut oil. it smells good but isn't working for me, and I'm kind of bummed because I like a lot of other Kristin Ess products.. but not this one.
Great for frizzy hair 5
Andrea from Undisclosed
I'm going on a trip and wanted to give my hair a good blow dry before leaving so I put a good amount of this from mid to ends and slept with it in the bun cap. After a wash and blow dry my hair is looking healthy and shiny and ready to fight frizz!

Good product, difficult to use, not enough for longer hair 5
Crazy L from Undisclosed
I really liked this product because it did exactly what it says. However, I am not a girly girl and need a more simplistic product. One request is to make a product for longer, thicker hair
Pretty amazing 5
Jwilli81 from Undisclosed
This product has a subtle scent that is delightful. I used it on my hair from roots to ends overnight. It left my hair so touchable soft and silky and tamed most of my frizz. This will now be a regular part of my weekly routine!
I love this product! 5
Odie1103 from Undisclosed
I love this product! It leaves my hair so soft and smooth. Adds manageability and tames fly always on the go. Perfect size to toss in even a small bag. The Bun Cap is a great addition to use as a deep conditioning night time treatment without leaving a mess in your pillow. I would definitely purchase this product it is wonderful.
Nice Product! 4
Varunas from Undisclosed
This was a great multipurpose product! It smells amazinggg! I expected it to smell like coconut oil or something but it didn't and wasn't a scent I minded for multiple days. I liked using it for flyaway hairs and some frizz but I also tried it for my scalp since castor and coconut oil are good for the scalp. The main problem with this was the package style. The deodorant tube was a little strange for a hair product and kind of inefficient having to rub in my hand in a messy way.
Mixed feelings on Kristin Ess Anytime Anywhere Recovery Balm 3
Kris A from Undisclosed
I received a sample of Kristin Ess Anytime Anywhere recovery balm for all hair types courtesy of Viewpoints in exchange for my honest opinion. First of all, I found it difficult to rub onto my hair as it had a roll-on applicator like deodorant making for a tedious application process. Once I started to get it onto my hands a little with their warmth, it blended in easily with the tips of my hair. I appreciate that it came with a cap so I could keep the balm on overnight without messing up my pillow and/or sheets. It provided shine and nourishment to the ends of my strands; however, I do not find myself using this product again due to the lack of convenience.

This was so amazing for my hair. Before using this my hair felt brittle and dry, and this stuff got rid of both problems!

First time trying Karen Ess anytime anywhere hair balm and c 3
Barb39 from Undisclosed
I was excited to try the Karen Ess Anytime Anywhere Hair Balm. This was the first time I tried it and had never heard of it in the past but I looked like a good concept. After applying to the hair your hair felt a little sticky. The bun cover was uncomfortable to sleep in. I washed my hair twice to get out the balm then blow dried with a Dyson drier. My hair felt very soft and that was nice. It was also flyaway. I would probably not buy this product as I did not see a lot of improvement. My hair is very fine but thick. It might work better on different types of hair.
A Definite Must Buy 5
Elizabeth0513 from Undisclosed
I love the applicator, it is in stick form so you dont have to get your hands all messy. You can really concentrate on certain areas that might need extra repair/hydration. I love that it comes with a little cap that if you lay down, you won't get the formula all over. It really does make my hair feel smooth, shiny and overall much healthier.
Not For All Hair Textures 3
N W from Undisclosed
So the Kristin Ess Hair Anytime Anywhere Recovery Balm + Bun Cap was used as edge control and as a moisturizer for my bun. As far as edge control, it worked really good when I put it on. My hair laid down smooth. After 2.5 hours, my hair started to frizz up again. I've used other products which would last for several hours and give me that slick look. This gave me a more natural look and it actually tamed my edges. I can't say that this is great as a hair moisturizer even with the bun cap which served absolutely no purpose. After using it for one week, it's almost gone. This was my first time hearing of this product. Since I have kinky hair, I wouldn't purchase this product. I need something with more hold and longer control.
I love this product!! Would buy again 5
Cassidy E from Undisclosed
I used this product last weekend for the first time and it was a game changer!! My hair is softer and less damaged, it helped with my split ends and it is easy to use.
Love this stuff! 5
Kerry from Undisclosed
I love this stuff. It's the only product I have used that actually helps my damaged/dry hair look and feel healthier! I left it in overnight and washed it out in the morning. It's great and smells wonderful. Definitely recommend! :)
Made my flyaways take ground 5
Ashes from Undisclosed
I loved how it made my hair feel and look. Everybody noticed it and my flyways hairs took ground and less wild. I loved styling my hair after and over all my fine hair finally looked amazing.
To good to be true 5
Trina from Undisclosed
I just love this product it's so easy to use it don't weigh ur hair down like most product do and the best thing it really works I can't wait to get more
such a cool product 5
Juniper from Undisclosed
I have never tried this product before or anything like it but I followed the directions and used it both on my dry hair during the day and then with the bun cap overnight...both times my hair looked shiny and healthy. It worked beautifully, subtle fragrance and no greasy feel or look. I will definitely use it again
It really makes my hair smooth and soft 4
Sherabbit36 from Undisclosed
I used this product with provided bun cap and it works great on dry damaged hair, it makes my hair so soft and smooth. I purchased a different full head cap so I could apply to all of my hair and wow my hair came out amazing. So beautiful. My hair feels great and full of life for days after using. I didn't really like the bun cap much because if I wore to bed it would somehow gets product onto my pillows. That's why I bought the full cap and worked much better for leaving on all night.
Its ok 3
purplereign125 from Undisclosed
It is an alright product. It comes in a tube that is like deodorant that you have to twist the cap to pull it. I like the packaging but I would need a little more directions of how to use. I wish it came in a jar and wasn't in solid form so I can scoop it out. Initially I rubbed it on my hair and then it broke apart. I took the broken piece rubbed it in my hands and then put it in my hair. I left it on then washed it out. I have thick and coarse hair. I would recommend for someone who had thinner hair. I wou
