So, as you can see from the ingredients, there are a lot of emusifiers, stabilizers, fragrances (a tad too many), disinfectants, antibacterials, and preservatives (many of them), and somewhere along the list you will actually find some oil ingredient too. There are so many (SO MANY) fragrance ingredients that most of the money that you pay goes for the fragrances only.
Coming to the oils in the order of their respective volume present in the oil are mineral oil, coconut oil, olive oil, argan oil, camelina oil, jojoba oil, and sweet almond oil. Sweet almond oil is the 4th last ingredient in the list so it means that it is present in minute quantities. It is also safe to say that there are more fragrances than sweet almond oil. Mineral oil is a petroleum derivative, jsut like petroleum jelly. It does no nutrition for the hair but coats it well so that external factors like pollution, humidity, etc. don't affect it. Coconut oil is one of the best oils for the hair for its deep penetration properties. Olive oil makes the hair super soft. Argan oil is all the latest rage in hair care these days, and this oil from Argan kernals is native to Morocco. It is known to help split ends and damaged hair in general. Camelina oil may seem new to us in India, but it is a popular oil in Northern European countries where this plant grows well. It kind of looks like a western version of our mustard plant. Jojoba (pronounced ho-ho-ba) oil is very moisturizing for the hair. And last and also the least here, sweet almond oil is known for helping hair grow to its full potential.
Now, over to the product. Firstly, its packaging. It comes in a mustard yellow, gold packaging and just by the looks of it, it is just gorgeous! The cap is a flip one.
Speaking of the product, the first thing that will come out of the tube is the fragrance. oh my God! It is so strong. Then the product is like a white conditioner. It is more watery than creamy. Even on the hands, it does not leave any greasy feeling. Just after application on the hair, it sits there for a while and then completely vanishes. Like, hair doesn't even look like it's got something on it. There is no oily feel too. So, it is perfect for everyday use. There is a sunscreen in the product! Can you believe it?
The product absorbs immediately in to the hair lengths and tips. It feels wet on application and within 2 - 3 minutes gets completely absorbed. Hair does not feel even the slightest bit oily or greasy. It gave a mattified look which I did not expect nor liked it because we all like our hair looking glossy and shiny. On the roots and scalp though, it did look oily. Even the product did not completely sink in. I wonder why.
So, for this reason, I recommend you use it only along your hair length if you will be stepping out or using the product after shampoo. If you are using it before shampoo or overnight, no problem. It is not so oily that it will stain your pillow cover.
It does take a lot of product to coat my entire hair and scalp. I have thick and long hair up to my waist and this tube won't last more than 3 uses, if I were to. But if you have thin or shorter hair then it will work on you, I guess.
It makes hair fluffy, so it is goof for flat hair. Doesn't tame flyaways or control frizz. Its moisturizing/ conditioning effect is okay, not great.
Overall, it is good for everyday use, just to protect hair from pollution and the sun. It offers hair just a little bit of help vs no product in the hair at all.
Priced at INR 80 for a 100 ml tube is pretty much on the pricier side for what the product actually does.
