I've been on the hunt for a leave-in with moisture and without silicones for my fine & bleached hair = dry in the lengths but very easy to get oily at the roots. Shocked at how good this is. My hair feels stronger and not as brittle, and I don't get oilier at the roots than usual. I use just as much dry shampoo now as when I wasn't using the product.
I use it in the following way:
Wash day: Generally pull through after the shower and let my hair air dry 50-80% depending on how much time I have. Spray in heat protectant and blow dry. Sometimes I also use 1-2 pumps after I've blow-dried.
Day 2, I try to part my hair 50/50 in the back and apply to the sides, using one pump for each side. Let it sink in a bit before I braid.
Day 3, same as day 2.
Some mornings when I've taken out the braids and feel they've gotten a bit too intense, I can also smooth in 2 pumps in the morning. Again, I notice no difference in needing to wash my hair more often than before, so I'm super satisfied! Plus the big difference that my hair is no longer dry like straw!
