5.0 out of 5 starsPut the shine and thickness back into my brittle blonde hair
Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2016
I had my hair dyed from Light blonde to dark brown at a salon and I am not sure if it was the dye process or what by my hair was horribly straw dry and brittle/breaking. I decided after a month to get a shorter long pixie style cut and dyed my hair back to blonde. I knew going back to blonde on already over processed hair would make my hair even worse but I really didn't like the brown. (anyway) a friend of mine recommended this product to help my dry itchy hair. I was afraid at first because I was warned the smell is not the most pleasant. I have to say if you can get past the smell this stuff will cure many hair aliments including dandruff, dry hair and breaking hair but use as directed.
What I liked: The oil is dark but did not turn my almost white hair green or darker. The directions state to keep the oil on for one hour and wash out. Because of the state of my hair I left it on over night using it the first time. I would recommend wearing a hair cap if you do this because the oil will get on your pillows. - After washing the oil out and blow drying my hair my hair I was very pleased and very happy with the results my hair was baby hair soft, anyone who has bleached or colored their hair knows that straw feeling your hair gets. This stuff took it away and somehow made my hair appear fuller. Also my hair stopped falling out I used to have strands of hair everywhere and an itchy scalp, this took the itch out of my scalp and I notice I don't have so much hair in the drain after using this for about 1 week.
You really only need to leave it on for an hour as stated on back to get the full impact.
The one con is the smell but you do get used to it. In my opinion it smells almost like a light gasoline smell or rubbery smell, it is not so bad that I can't stand it but I can see why others don't want to use it. I found that if you shampoo your hair with a good shampoo the smell does go away after words.
This product is really the best oil I've ever used and since using it have received many compliments on how "great" "healthy" my hair looks so I would rather deal with a funny smelling head for an hour then hair falling out.
