Rated 4 out of 5 by from great for silk press I use this before silk pressing clients hair and it leaves it shiny and moisturized. You only need a little because it’s super concentrated

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Use sparingly I love this thermal serum. I wouldn’t use it for a silk press, since it’s really heavy, but I do use it for protective styles.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Needed this! I’ve been in search of a product like this. I prefer to use it over my styled dry hair to give it a nice shine and smoothness. The smell is pretty nice and subtle as well. I would recommend this to curly and straight haired.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from So I used to So I used to used a product similar to this from CHI and it would always make my hair look greasy looking after so long throughout the day . This does not do that and I love it ! It smells nice ! A little goes a long way so this will last forever !

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I received this in I received this in a Voxbox from Influenster and I am in love! I have super dry brittle hair (my medications have made my hair so fragile) and when I sampled this I couldn’t believe how amazing it made my hair feel!! I put it on my hair while it’s still damp before low drying and then I add a little more, just to my ends before flat ironing and I comb it through and then start to flat iron and my hair is silky smooth and shiny! And I even noticed a difference after washing. Like it’s giving my hair deep moisturizer. I will use this daily! I most definitely plan on buying this all the time. I’m in love with this product!
