This serum is one of the three total serums I have used at the time of this posting. It claims to reduce frizz...obviously.
Short and sweet:
Bad: it in no way reduces frizz. Good: it does work as a top grade sealant. Stars as frizz stopper: 0. Not even a half. Stars for sealing: 4.5/5
Overall: I don't know what to give it. I mean...it doesn't do what it says, but it's awesome at something else? Just refer back to previous scores.
Comment: it loses a half for being more oily than any other serum I've used, but even though it made me deal with an oily issue that I almost never have, it works so well as a sealant that it would be a staple if I wasn't going all home-made.
Thing I'd replace it with: Shea Butter
Long and succulent:
A sealant is a product you apply at the very end of your hair moisturizing, to keep in all the moisture in your hair. It always goes at the very end because it seals everything else you put into your hair. If you apply a liquid, oil and cream in the LOC method, it's the C / last step. If you just moisturize and seal, it's the last step, if you apply several different products to do a bunch of individual things, it's the last step, and if you mix a bunch of things together, you should probably not mix this and just apply it as the last step. Pattern!
If I use this after a wash, I don't even have to use a moisturizer or an oil. My hair just holds onto that moisture.
>> Very few products make my hair stay oily. Most oil does not, in fact. Usually, even if my hair is oily, it's perfectly fine the next morning. With this product, my hair has gotten so bad that it stuck together. I didn't even recognize the issue until I remembered someone else mentioning that oily hair clumps even when dry. I'm not used to dealing with oily hair because my hair always needs more moisture [I've put several tablespoons of coconut oil on my hair, on two occasions, and my hair just ate it. It was completely dry the next morning.] >> so make sure that you remember for serums that less is more, especially in this case. I would start with the smallest amount you can and work your way up.
Grain of salt: No product has ever made my hair not get frizzy, aside from the salon products that probably need to work in conjunction with heat [and I've pretty much sworn off heat, even indirect heat is a bad idea to me].
Shea Butter: Raw Shea Butter gives me a lot of shine, and seals better than anything else I've used. It also doesn't get oily. While it doesn't give me as much slip as this, I have plenty of other things to give me slip, and it's the last step anyway.
Have Healthy Hair~
