My hair was beautifully soft after using shampoo, conditioner, CAT, and anti snap. But my hair was still flyaway, and needs weight. Will using this line improve that? Or should I use another product with anti snap. I air dry my fine, slightly wavy, colored (no bleach) hair. Most styling products make me frizzy! Thanks!

Best reconstruction product.
This is the best reconsructor made but most people don't understand what it is or what it is supposed to do. 1) Apply to CLEAN Hair (use a Clairifying or Non-Conditioning Shampoo) 2) Use enough product to produce a FOAM - If it dosen't Foam you didn't use enough. (OR your Shampoo had too many Condi...

Tip to make it easier to hold
Hair Type Wavy Hair
First, I've used this for like 15 yrs and really like it. When my hair was long & highlighted, I used it weekly. Now my hair is chin length and not colored so I only use 1-2 times a month. But here's my tip, unscrew the top a little, squeeze the sides of the bottle in, & screw the top back on with the sides squeezed. It gives you a better grip in the shower.
Hair and color loss!!
For some frame of reference, I use Redken shampoo and conditioner regularly for my damage hair. I bought this treatment in hopes it would also help especially a alongside the same line of shampoo and conditioner. I put it on my colored hair and the color literally started to drip off into my palms. Additionally, clumps of my hair kept falling out and it was super tangled after using the spray. I would not recommend this product if you have damaged hair.
Love it
