This was also one of my favorite products in the joico defy damage line. Even after I ran out of the shampoo and conditioner I was still using this shield and it made a huge difference in how shiny and frizz free my hair was. I swear my hair looks like it belongs in a commercial after using the whole line. After using all four products in the Joico Defy Damage line I was amazed by how my hair looked. It is summer here and extremely humid so my hair had been a frizzy mess until I used these. After the first use my hair wasn’t frizzy at all!
Love that the travel size of this product came with a small travel bag to make transport easy for the long weekend. All I had to do was throw it in my bag and I was ready to go.
This is my favourite in the defy damage line. It is thicker than a serum and comes in s great pump bottle. It left my hair feeling silky and shiny.
Such a great product for anyone who uses heat to style their hair or spends a lot of time outdoors in the sun.
I received this product for trial purpouses and free… I just love it you only have to apply a little amount avoiding the roots cause is kind of oily the smells is good and it last long which is awsome!!
