Rusk

Let me start off by saying I have naturally curly, bi polar hair somewhere between a 2c and 3a. It frizzes horribly in it’s naturally state at the slightest hint of moisture. Thanks to a helpful MUA user, I discovered One N Only keratin treatment from Sally’s, but it had been discontinued/reformulated. It was the best I have found, it made my hair manageable and didn’t damage it a lot blah blah blah. I continued my search and stumbled upon this. I like Anti Curl much better. It works and is easy, and didn’t fry off my hair. PROS: It’s customizable , so read directions carefully. I only wanted to loosen my curl, make it less frizzy and more manageable, not stick straight and flat. It did not require a flat iron for this result. CONS: Can be hard to find if you want to DIY, otherwise it is an in-salon treatment. It does have a strong perm smell.

This iron does not cut it for my thick hair. It takes numerous passes to get slightly straight. It leaves creases in my hair in some instances. Hair catches and pulls often. For the price I expected better. Would not repurchase.

Overall, I found this serum to be a good product and great value; sadly though it didn't work as well as I had hoped ( finicky hair here lol). Here are the pros & cons: +Great price & lasts long; +Lovely scent ( somewhat fresh /aquatic); +Alcohol free; +Non- greasy; +Easily available; +Sturdy packaging ( twist cap to lock in place - great for travelling etc); +Doesn't leave residue/flakes -Didn't really do much for frizz; -Took longer to blow dry; -Didn't add as much shine as I wanted Verdict: 4 lippies and will not repurchase. In fairness, this serum is still a cut above most of them out there ( both d/s & high end). Also if your hair responds well to argan oil, this will probably be awesome; on my hair though , argan works sometimes but not always.
