   I said I wouldn’t buy it again, but that’s mostly because of my tendency to not repurchase anything unless it becomes a HG product. I’m also looking more for UV and heat protection now that I’m actually starting to heat style my hair sometimes again. (I haven’t really even used a hair dryer very often for like 10 years, so I was mostly using this on my hair as it air dried until about a month ago.)

   I haven’t really looked into the ingredients to see if this actually does anything more than put a bandaid on the issue of dryness and the like, but I definitely notice a difference in my hair when I use this versus when I don’t, and I do like it for the most part. Is it really doing anything for my hair beyond making it look better? Maybe not. My guess is the silicone makes my hair look nicer at the time, but that could be it. However, I think that this has helped prevent breakage because my hair tangles way less when I use it (again, probably because of the silicones making my hair smoother). So, I think it helps my hair a bit, but I really haven’t done enough research into silicone-containing products to form an opinion beyond that. I think more research, in general, is needed.

   I have very fine, totally straight hair, but I also have a lot of hair and I usually keep it kind of long, to around mid-back (give or take a couple of inches). My hair gets dry very easily and can start to break, and it just looks awful, so I try to almost exclusively use moisturizing products. The problem with that is how heavy some of those products can be, which isn’t great when you have hair that refuses to hold volume. But this stuff? As long as I don’t go overboard, it doesn’t weigh my hair down, and I notice an immediate improvement in the way my hair looks and feels.

   I absolutely love the scent of this stuff, and I think even my husband has commented on how pleasant it is. It’s not quite the same coconut-y scent you find in some tanning products and the like, but it’s also not quite real coconut or coconut oil. It’s kind of in between, a little sweeter than real coconut, but not overpowering. I’ve also only ever used this on color treated hair, and I’ve never noticed any problems with my color fading faster, whether it was permanent dyes or something like Manic Panic.

   Pros:
   -Smells nice and not too strong
   -Makes my hair look and feel smoother
   -Fewer tangles/easier time brushing my hair
   -Adds a little shine
   -Doesn’t feel heavy/weigh my hair down (although it might with curls, but it’s hard to tell because my hair doesn’t easily hold a curl anyway)
   -Doesn’t feel greasy or weird
   -Hasn’t faded my dyed hair
   -Doesn’t seem to build up in my hair/washes out easily

   Cons:
   -I think this might sometimes cause me to break out where my hair touches my face while I sleep

   Ive tried a lot of highend from bumble and bumble, chi silk infusion, alterna, rosarco milk, ouai finishing creme, morroccan oil, basically all the sephora hair serums and this by far is the best smelling and best for my hair. I have thick straight ish wavy hair that can get frizzy. I tried it all and i always always come back to this. I also use the coconut milk shampoo and the coconut curl hair butter. I really enjoy the coconut lines from ogx. Its my hg

   If you like coconut fragrances you will LOVE this. Aside from TBS coconut shower cream and lotion, this is the closest I’ve ever got to a true, strong coconut fragrance. As for performance? My dislike of silicones aside, it does a brilliant job at making my hair softer, more manageable and less frizzy…to the point where I can overlook the ingredients aspect of it.
   I just use half a pump of this, no more and I’m good to go. Zero weighing down or oiliness. Just tangle-free hair that I can brush through without breakage.

   To avoid greasy roots I would strongly suggest to leave at least 1-2 inches above scalp when you apply to your hair. Some of it will naturally travel down due to gravity any way, so keep that in mind. Only slight dislike is the pump as it’s not ideal for travel…end up putting into a sealable bag as it can quite easily dispense when jostled around in suitcase. The pump is also prone to breaking if dropped (as I have done!) but again no biggie for me, the product works well enough for me to overlook packaging flaws. At worst I can just empty into another bottle with a pump that I can pick up from most cosmetic stores for a couple of bucks.

   This product has saved my hair extensions. After spending $400 on Boheyme hair extensions and discovering that the quality had now become so bad, (could barely brush my hair, was matted and tangled everyday, knots) I tried many products. I tried three $50 hair serums/ oils and none made a big difference. I found a 3 year old bottle of this laying around and gave it a try. I am honestly amazed, I can actually brush my hair now, it’s smooth and soft and I can put many layers on without it weighing down my hair. I can wear my hair down again with a significant reduction in knots. This product saved my hair !! I am very happy now.

   I bought this serum after going to the beach under the strong sun. My dried hair became really moisturized and looked healthy. I have been using it for 3 weeks now, and my hair is fantastic. You would love this product if you are coconut lover. If not, do not buy this. very strong scent. I sometimes used it after blow dry my hair but it was fine. It just takes time to absorb the serum. My straight hair is much more straighten and looks so healthy now. I would love this if this is all organic ingredients. For breakage, I’m not sure. I don’t have breakage int he first place, but I am sure that this helps prevent from getting it.

   The BEST ingredients for anyone’s hair should not be listed at the end of this particular product: Coconut oil, Shea butter, coconut milk, Vit E & egg white proteins. The rest are chemical ingredients which are listed at the beginning of the product… not favorable.

   I love this serum!! It makes my hair feel soft and tames the puffiness. I use it the most when I have just lightened my hair because my hair needs a lot of moisture. It helps reduce the breakage that is caused by lightening it.

    I wanted to like this. It smells fantastic, but it left a greasy film on my hair. I used it for a week and it made my fine, wavy hair dull and flat.
