KRISTIN ESS HAIR The One 12-in-1 Leave-In Primer

Most Helpful Positive Review

Affordable and works!

This is a good, affordable product that claims to do the work of 12 different products, which makes it a great choice. I recently broke my arm, and it's been difficult to style my hair or do much with it at all. As a result, my hair has been very frizzy, unmanageable, and prone to tangling. I've a...lso had to miss hair care appointments because of my arm. I will say that this product immediately detangled my hair. It also feels much less damaged after my first simple blowout, and it has continued to look and feel that way through multiple uses. I also love that it's color-safe. Missing my last hair appointment means I'm trying to preserve my color as much as possible. The directions say to use 5 to 10 sprays per application; I used about five. I have fairly long hair and applied it while my hair was wet. I didn't notice any residue, irritation, or flakiness throughout the day. Does it do what it claims? Yes. I am most impressed by the subtle, light fragrance. Many hair products lately especially heat-protecting or smoothing ones have very heavy fragrances. I know some people like that, but I personally do not. I tend to avoid products that are overpowering. This one does mix well with my perfume. Most products don't do that. I want to smell like my own signature fragrance combination, and I prefer hair products that don't overtake my perfume. However one of the 12 benefits list long lasting fragrance... This one I could do without. I understand that less and less people are washing their hair every single day. And that there are those that are looking for a long lasting fragrance throughout that period. I would love to have a product where I could choose what I want my hair to smell like. I really don't want long lasting fragrance in my products. Hair is the first thing you smell when you hug someone. I would much rather smell like my signature perfume. But that's my personal opinion. It's also vegan. While it's not certified gluten-free from what I could find, none of the ingredients raised any red flags for me. I'll continue using this product, especially for the sake of my split ends. Overall, this is a good, affordable product with decent packaging that's easy to use. I recommend giving it a try.
