This was my first time using this product. I received the product in a gift bag at an event that I attended in May. I normally use my Fekkai straightening balm before I blow dry my hair. I forgot I let my roommate use it so picked this product up instead.
My hair has been chemically treated and I have color in my hair. I haven't had a relaxer since September and I don't plan on getting one any time soon, but that's another blog post. My hair is also very thick and naturally wavy as opposed to curly. Since I haven't had a relaxer in a bit the natural wave pattern is starting to take hold again.
I didn't like the way the product felt on my hands as I applied it to my hair. I hate when I put products on my hands and they feel greasy or sticky. I want to constantly wash and dry my hands before I apply product to the next section of my hair. I did apply the product when my hair was lightly towel dried. I then let it air dry for a bit before I hit it with the blow dryer and a round brush.
I absolutely love this product! My hair was super straight and soft and fluffy! I applied just a drop of oil on it after then ran a flat iron through it and was hair flipping all over the place. I will definitely be using this product again and again and again.
One thing that I like is that it doesn't have a fragrance. Your hair will still smell like your shampoo and conditioner of choice after you use it. That is a plus for me because I love the smell of my shampoo.
Since I received the product in a swag bag I was unaware of the price of the product so I looked it up and the price ranges from $12-$32 (depending on the size you purchase). I think the price is reasonable considering I don't wash my hair often and you don't have to use a lot of product at all.
This is the first time I've used a Phyto product but now I'm intrigued to try more products from their line.
Overall: I would suggest that my WOC (women of color) try this product. I honestly don't think the price is THAT bad for what the product is able to do. I love it.
