    A MUST HAVE

    This is one of those products that I immediately repurchase once I hit empty (actually before it actually gets empty). I have pretty unmanageable curly hair at times and this is a miracle worker. It helps me get through my hair with a brush much easier and makes my hair so soft and shiny in the process.

    Smells like heaven; feels like silk

    Hair stylist uses this every cut & style. This stuff is a game changer. Smell is very bold but dissipates. Kinda wished it hung around longer. It's so good! Works like a charm. My hair is on the rebound, thick, hard to moisturize, easily tangled. A few spritzes of this and a seconds later, pain free brushing. Packaging was way above par. Will buy again.
