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...

Nice wash day product for color treated hair

Submitted 17 days ago

By Jessica

From Louisville, KY

I received this product complimentary in exchange for my honest review. I have been coloring my own hair for many years and have spent many of those years with some variety of red/auburn/copper which fades quickly. I haven't been out in the sun much lately or I a pool but I have been using this after I wash my hair as kind of a heat protectant/leave in treatment. It's worked nicely. I don't notice a lot of difference in how much color is retained over time but it smells nice, doesn't leave any residue on my hair and works nicely for high heat blow drying. The difference in my photos is 2 weeks. Looks shiny and healthy. It's a nice product and even better if it helps me keep my red color longer.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] So easy to use - I spray it into my damp freshly washed hair and then I comb it through. It really help my color treated hair. It help my color stay vibrant and not dull especially the summer - being in the sun and in a pool does so so much damage to my hair. . And it definitely leaves my hair soft and manageable. I received this product for free.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Frizz and damage are things that we're handed when dying our hair and using heat tools to style. But with this, it's a leave in made for color protection and strength! How amazing. It smells good and leaves my hair beautiful, smelling good and strong!!

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I used it everyday and I've already finished the bottle. It makes my hair smoother, softer and much easier to manage and brush. I also noticed that my color stays vibrant longer and doesn't wash out as quickly. Definitely one of those hair products I'll be buying again!
