Review (1/5): Do not recommend.
I loved Pacifica's Hairvana and have been looking for a replacement since it was discontinued. This isn't it.
Why I Bought It:
-No silicones. It's specifically described as being silicone-free.
-It contained moisturizing ingredients to which my hair responds well, such as glycerin and aloe juice.
-While described as a shine serum rather than a leave-in conditioner, I had high hopes that this product would provide some moisture while giving my hair some sheen.
Results:
-First, the smell was horrendous. Many Pacifica products have a coconut scent, and that's what I was expecting here. However, it smelled rancid and even kind of dirty. Is that possible? Is dirty a scent? I don't know, but it smelled like a zoo animal. Fortunately, the smell dissipated once it was on my hair. Yes, I put it on my hair despite the scent. This tiny bottle was pricy, and I was determined to use it.
-I actually attempted to use this 4 times, but the worst thing about it is that it is sticky. I let my hair air dry, and 2 of 4 times my hair was so sticky and gross that I couldn't wait for my regularly scheduled daily shower. I HAD to get this stuff out of my hair ASAP.
So as much as I hate to throw away money, I can't use this. It's awful.
