Hint: Pour step 1 into a spray bottle
This stuff is amazing. I have a tendency to get bored with my hair color, and every once in a while I will go against my better judgment for the sake of fashion and instead of waiting for my current color to fade, just strip it instead. You'd think I'd know by now that I stand gratification often comes with consequences and sacrifice. Well, after this last color swap, which I brilliantly felt compelled to do at about 3:15 in the morning two weeks ago, I immediately knew upon rinsing that I had just pushed my poor hair over the edge. I could see the damage when I fluffed my hands through and watched tiny little, broken pieces of hair fly off my head and sink to the floor like little blonde, fluffy tears.<br /><br />I used the treatment last night. The first step is runny, like water. I poured a bit into my hand, and most of it went down the drain. Wasted product is wasted money, I want gonna play that game. I almost grabbed a color bowl and brush, but decided to try something else first, because I don’t have time for that. And by time I mean the patiennce. I carefully put the packet down and grabbed a funnel, an empty spray bottle and poured it in. I sprayed the product into my hair and combed it through. Much easier than wrestling a packet, a liquid product, and my hair all at once. In addition to just being easier, I felt this was the safer route to go considering the small bit of product I did get on my hands stung my cuticles and really stung a small scratch from my rude cat. Not sure which ingredient caused it, but I was surprised the packaging didn’t recommend wearing gloves.<br /><br />I let my hair air dry last night and styled it with my flat iron this morning. The first difference I noticed was how much smoother and easier the plates glided over my hair. I can often feel the roughness of my most damaged areas because any amount of buildup product on my flat iron will "catch" the roughed up cuticle. No catching this morning. I am currently floofing my hair....No breakage. Like, zero. No sad blonde tears. I am not surrounded by a hair-nado. I am not adding to the graveyard of sad, sacrificed strands that I should probably sweep off my bathroom floor. HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?!<br /><br />I didn't expect the stuff to suck but I didn't expect it to be blessed by some ancient Goddess of damaged hair either.<br /><br />Ordering the full size as soon as I submit this review.
