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...

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Easy to apply with the spray bottle nozzle, it comes out evenly without feeling heavy or sticky. Stays for a long time and I don't feel the need to do much to style my hair. No rinse needed

Perfect Addition to My Summer Hair Routine

Submitted 9 days ago

By Cristina

From New Jersey

**I received this product in exchange for an honest review I've been using this for about a month and it's been great for my thick, color treated hair. It cleans really well without leaving my hair feeling stripped or dry, and doesn't weigh it down at all. I've been using it throughout the summer with lots of sun and time in the water, and my color has stayed noticeably fresh. Slightly too tall for average cabinet.

Color lasted longer

From Kentucky

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] It's easy to spray and I like that it had a lock on it to keep my daughter from wasting it. It has a nice smell not o er powering like other hair products. I noticed that my hair color stayed longer than normal when I started using this. Made it Easter to style my hair. Didnt dry my scalp out.
