Texture & scent

A richer, more moist finish than Smooth. It comes out generously, and on some hair a full pump can look wet or greasy, so a small amount is enough. The scent is a sweet, elegant apricot & jasmine, made to feel like a perfume.

By the numbers

Suited for

Dry, brittle or spread-out hair that needs moisture and weight. It may feel too heavy on fine or oily hair; Smooth or Aurora are the lighter choices.

How to use

Spread a small amount over your palms and work it through towel-dried hair from the mid-lengths to the ends, then blow-dry. It can also go on dry hair as a finishing oil. One pump gives a generous amount, so start with half a pump and add more only if needed.

Cautions

For hair only. Keep out of the eyes and rinse with water right away if it gets in. Stop using it if it does not suit your scalp or skin. Contains fragrance, ethanol and silicones, plus animal-derived ingredients (wool keratin and collagen), so it is not vegan.
