Hair feels stronger too and ever so light. Plus my husband loves the smell and kept complimenting how my hair looked; he thought I had been to a salon to get my hair done’ • ‘The scalp treatment was efficient and made my hair feel very soft and when my scalp was flaky – I have an intermittent problem - the treatment did a very good but gentle job of clearing the problem. Great for a pampering session and giving your hair a little make-over’ • ‘My head felt like it lost weight when I first used it. I have been colouring, bleaching, perming and all sorts from the age of 15 and am now 42, so some sort of magic happened on first application!

This blow-dryer is made to specifically minimize frizz for curly, wavy, and coily hair types with moisture-replenishing ionic technology. Its large diffuser head cups thick hair and gets close to the root to evenly distribute a delicate flow of low heat. In case your hands are full, the blow-dryer also comes with a hands-free stand to dry your hair without laying a single finger on the dryer.” - Allure

“If your bathroom is overflowing with curly-hair products, it’s time to transition to this three-in-one product (consider it the antithesis to a three-in-one body wash/shampoo/conditioner—*shudders*). This conditioner is technically a rinse-out conditioner, but thanks to its oil-based formula (see: castor oil, shea butter, and jojoba oil), it can also be used as a deep conditioner or as a leave-in conditioner. So even if you’re not sure if your porosity or curl type can handle it as a leave-in, you’ll still be safe to use it as a rinse-out formula. Win-win, tbh.” – Cosmopolitan
