Better than the Air Dry Creme

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have frizzy, wavy hair that’s kind of all over the place on a good day, so I’m always looking for products that can help smooth things out without making my hair feel heavy or greasy. This leave-in treatment has honestly been a game-changer. I use it right after I wash my hair—just a few pumps on damp hair, mostly on the ends and mid-lengths—and it instantly makes my hair feel softer and more manageable. It helps tame the frizz without weighing my waves down, which is huge for me. My hair still feels like my hair, just less puffy and way smoother. I then use it with my Dyson and use the curler. The scent is really nice too. Light, clean, and not too strong. I can still wear my regular perfume without it clashing. I’ve also noticed way less breakage when I brush my hair out. It just feels healthier overall. This is definitely staying in my routine—especially for those humid days when my hair usually does its own thing. I also have the Air dry creme and I like the peptide better for my hair type. Frizzy, prone to breaking and wavy.
Love the look and feel of my hair with this!

This review was collected as part of a promotion. I love Kristin Ess and was excited to try this! I really like the idea of a cream formula for heat protectant, and this one does a great job of smoothing my hair and giving it more body and shine while also protecting it from heat damage. I don't often blowdry my hair anymore, but now that I have this treatment, I may blowdry more often again because I love the look and feel of my hair!
Very hydrating!

This review was collected as part of a promotion. This was the perfect leave-in treatment. The scent is amazing! I was originally worried that it was too strong but wearing it overnight helps the smell be less strong but still wonderful in the morning. I have low porosity hair so my hair ate this stuff up in the best way. Very hydrating and moisturizing!
Amazing results!
