Analysis: I purchased this on a whim a little over six months ago while in Sally's looking for some new products to try. The thing I love most about this product is the way the product is dispensed via an eye dropper. I don't know what it is but I absolutely LOVE that! It allows me to get as little or as much product as I desire, prevents waste, and I am not left with a sink slick with oil residue from drips.
The oil smells like a diluted lavender (it contains Lavender oil) that does not linger. The consistency of the product is pretty standard for your run of the mill oils - I would say it matches that of olive oil - not too thin but not too thick.
I typically leave the oil on my hair for about five minutes prior to washing - longer if I remember to start my wash day early, and the result is always soft and moisturized hair that does not feel stripped. I have left this in over night on a number of occasions and the next day prior to washing my hair is always super soft and I noticed it stops shedding in its tracks. I would really like to try this oil as a sealant after moisturizing seeing how it softens and smooths my hair when left in over night, but the instructions say to shampoo after use so I am unsure about using it as anything other than a pre-treatment.
The Verdict: At $1.99 this pre-shampoo treatment is much cheaper and honestly more convenient that using other natural oils. I love the way this oil leaves my hair feeling: soft and strong, and the fact that a tiny 2 oz bottle lasts for nearly seven months. I don't have many staple products in my collection, but this one definitely makes the cut.
