I received this item from the Product Review Club from ChickAdvisor.
I have bleached hair so it’s very important for me to take care of it by protecting it from UV rays and heat!
The consistency of this product is great it’s not sticky or greasy feeling and spreads evenly throughout my hair. It makes my hair look great and I feel more confident that my hair is protected from hot styling tools.
My hair is dry from straightening every day and this product helped bring back life to it and smoother. My hair looks and feels healthy and many compliments.
