The result was softer, smoother, and shinier hair — no greasy or stringy strands, which often occur when I guess or misjudge the amount of a new product. In fact, the sleek finish made light work of styling my hair later. I like to create waves using my straighteners, and the plates glide through my lengths with ease, never snagging on my drier ends. Actually, I’m convinced that this serum minimises the appearance of split ends (helpful considering I haven’t had a haircut since last summer). I can use my hairdryer and straighteners safely in the knowledge that my hair is protected and doesn’t need an additional veil of sticky heat protector spray.
