Joico Moisture Recovery Treatment Balm (8.5 oz) For Thick, Coarse, Dry Hair | Replenish Moisture | Restore Smoothness & Elasticity

If you have fine or thin hair, look away now, because this stuff is heavy-duty, and I mean heavy. The texture is incredibly thick, almost like a rich body butter rather than a hair conditioner, and it has a very strong, aquatic-fresh scent that lingers for days. When I applied it to my coarse, dry ends, the slip was undeniable—I could literally detangle my hair with just my fingers in the shower, which almost never happens. It feels luxurious going on, but because it's so concentrated, I learned the hard way that you really only need a small dollop; using too much made my roots feel a little waxy and flat immediately after drying. The results, however, are totally worth the learning curve. After rinsing (and you need to rinse thoroughly), my straw-like ends felt completely revived, manageable, and insanely soft. It tamed my frizz significantly better than my usual drugstore masks, giving my hair that "just left the salon" elasticity and shine. My only real gripe is the packaging; once you get about halfway through the tube, it is a workout trying to squeeze that thick product out. I’m giving this a 4.5/5 stars—it’s a holy grail for thick, thirsty hair, just make sure you rinse it out like your life depends on it! 🌊✨
