I bought this to make my hair look smoother and shinier. I'm so over the whole thing where nothing - conditioners, masks, or sprays - can get rid of the frizz at my hair's ends.

I was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable this product is, but you do need to be careful when applying it to get the right amount.

The packaging has all the essential information about the ingredients and properties on the label:

I was impressed with the packaging, everything was intact and functional.

Texture, scent, and color:
The fluid is incredibly thick and has high viscosity. Viscosity is a major issue with this product – it's really hard to apply.

There's no tint, just a clean finish:

It doesn't absorb well into the skin, but if you warm it up in your hands, it becomes more pliable and easier to work with:

I love the strong, cosmetic scent – it stays on your hair nicely.

Ingredients:
Cyclopentasiloxane (and) Dimethiconol, Grape Seed Oil, Cyclopentasiloxane, Fragrance

Application and effect:
After washing, I often notice a "frizz" at the ends. When I wore extensions, the stylist would profile them, and now I need to blend them in. I get my hair trimmed every three months and lightly tidy up the mess.
Here's what I got with this product:
Before
xa0
I bought this product to tame my unruly hair, make it sleek without using a flat iron or styling tools.
I wanted my hair to look shiny, not dull and lifeless.
Unfortunately, this product was a bit too rich for my hair. It's super dense, and it's hard to apply evenly. When I put it on, I'd end up with too much in some areas and not enough in others... It took me a while to get the hang of it.
The trick is to use just a tiny bit, a small drop will do. Apply it with a gentle, smoothing motion, and then:

After that, I'd comb my hair thoroughly, letting the product really soak in. And that's when the magic happens - my hair looked noticeably better, with a subtle shine.

As a result, my hair became much smoother, with fewer flyaways:

But the downside is that it quickly loses volume. My hair's super fine and porous, and even a small amount of this product feels too heavy. It takes a few hours to get the look I want, but even then, it's a bit of a gamble:
the result
xa0
I was really disappointed with the lack of volume, but my hair looked smooth and shiny, almost too shiny, like it was greasy.
By the morning, my hair was visibly dirty, which was a major letdown. To be honest, this product isn't suitable for my hair length, only the ends. My hair's too fine, and with the fluid, it looked even more limp.
I experimented with it, but I understand now that using it sparingly, only on the ends, is the way to go if I don't want to end up with greasy-looking hair by the evening.
I ended up giving it to my daughter, whose hair is naturally thick and dense, and it worked much better for her.
No allergic reactions or irritation, so that's a plus!

The Verdict:
This product isn't bad, it's just not for me. It's too heavy for my hair length, and I think it's better suited for thicker, fuller hair.
xa0
So, what did I like about it?
It's got a nice scent
It's rich and economical
It smoothes and nourishes
It smooths out my hair
No harsh chemicals
Convenient packaging
xa0
And the downsides?
It devours volume in fine hair
It makes my hair look greasy quickly
Using too much will cause my hair to stick together
xa0
I've tried a few products from this brand, and it's marketed as professional, so I picked up the shampoo, conditioner, and fluid. Unfortunately, the fluid didn't work out for me:
xa0
My Rating: 3 - It's a good product, but it's too heavy for my fine hair, even in small amounts. It slightly clumps my weak hair. I've passed it on to my daughter.
I'd recommend it for thicker, fuller hair, as I think it would work much better for that hair type.
