  • Worth the Spend!
Size: 3.38 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Style: 3.38 Fl Oz
LOVE this stuff!! I have been using this in my hair for 2 years now. I use the shampoo/conditioner line as well, and then add this in for heat protection right before drying. I recently got extensions, and my hair dresser, who is really big into hair health, said its even safe for use on extensions! This product maintains hair health, adds moisture and protection, and does not leave hair greasy. I always wait for prime days to order and you can usually find a pretty good discount on it! You will want to stock up! ... show more
