Excellent, non-greasy product
UPDATE: It is now the end of 2016 and I felt like I should update this review since it is so old. I still use this product. Yep, I still use it once a week to straighten or curl my hair with the iron. Either or, depends on mood. A couple things to note. It still works great during the summer for my curly hair. I have tried a lot of hair oils since this review. Some were given to me, some were in my Ipsy bag, and some I bought thinking that I might find something better. Wrong, oh so very wrong. WRONG. This is my holy grail hair product, the one I cannot, CANNOT live without. I have repurchased it only 2 times in the past two years. If you wash your hair more often you would use more. I am still in love with this stuff, and I think I always will be as long as they keep making it awesome. This is an amazing product. I have long, curly, frizzy, thick hair that I wear straight during the winter and curly during the summer. I do this because I have to air dry my curly hair for the curls to turn out okay, and it's to cold to do that during the winter. Anyways, for starters, I've used a lot of products before and this is hands down the best. When I straighten my hair I like to wash my hair once a week, on Saturday. I don't have greasy hair naturally, so I can easily go a week between washes when straightening. Plus, it's better for your hair. Many products do not allow this because they make my hair greasy, and to top it off, I wouldn't notice a deference in straightening time. If it takes me the same amount of time to straighten my hair with a product as it does without the product, and I have to wash my hair more with it, then it's no good. Also, products claiming to last a week with straight awesome hair with washes are pointless for me since I don't need to wash my hair but once a week without any product. That being said, after buying the straightener that had this little sample with it, I read up on all the reviews and thought I'd give it a try. First: it does not, in any way, make my hair feel greasy. Even after a week there is no greasy feeling from the product, and my sister-in-law has commented on how great my hair looks on the Saturday I plan on washing it. Second: the styling time has been cut in half. Literally blow drying and straightening my hair takes me about 30 minutes or less depending on how long after my shower I start doing my hair. Third: before this oil I would have to touch up my hair every morning. You know, get out a few kinks that showed up at night. Not anymore. Perfect hair all week, didn't have to restraighten once. I notice this only when I blow dry and straighten. If I put my hair in a braid and then straighten in the morning it isn't as good, but still better than without. Third: a little goes a long way. I've used this six times now, five weeks of awesome hair, and the oil isn't even under the neck of the bottle yet. I was so worried that I would be spending about $20 a month on this, which for some people is not a lot, but for us full-time moms and college students, I was worried. Considering how much use I've gotten and still have a practical full bottle, the price is pennies. Finally: it works great for leaving your hair natural. For those wondering how I got five weeks of awesome hair for six uses, well one time I decided to put it in my hair like I was going to blow dry and straighten, and my two year old started throwing up. Plans stop, mommy to the rescue. Well, an hour later I finally got to see myself in the mirror, and voila, non-frizzy, awesome, super soft curls. I could not believe it. The secret to good curls in curly hair is don't touch it while it's drying. The secret to awesome curls is use this oil while wet, then don't touch it while drying. Worth every penny and then some.
