Nice leave in, but did not protect color

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I thought this was good as a leave in conditioner, but unfortunately I do not believe this offered the best color protection. I actually have noticed my hair getting lighter after using this and looking like I have highlights in my hair. I w...

Great spray for colored hair

Submitted 25 days ago

By Mabely

From Chicago

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I have colored/damaged, wavy, hair and am always looking for a nice spray to help detangle my hair and keep my hair healthy so I was so excited to try this! It smells great, the mist is fine, and it definitely makes combing my wet hair a lot easier. I love that it has UV protection too since the sun ruins dyed hair!! I have noticed my hair has felt softer since using this and it never feels too heavy. However, I can't speak on how good it is in preventing hair from losing vibrancy since I haven't noticed much difference in that regards. All in all, a nice detangling spray that's color safe, leaves hair feeling soft and manageable, and can also be used as a heat protectant! I would absolutely pick this up again.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Great product!!!! I used it on my type four color treated hair. It was easy to use. There was much slip when applied for the detangling process. My hair felt healthier after use.

Silky smooth

Submitted 25 days ago

By Kylie

From PA

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I really liked this! It made my hair feel super soft and silky after blow drying. I've also used it without applying heat and it had a nice texture - not crunchy or sticky. My hair is dyed red and although I haven't used it long enough to gauge the color protection abilities, it hasn't had any adverse affects on my color.
