Gardenia Veil Color Shield Hair Essence – Lightweight Leave-In Treatment for Color-Treated Hair – Shine Boost, Damage Repair, Color Fixing System, Floral Scent – (50 ml / 3.38 fl oz)

I have super fine hair that I have been dying blonde since I was about 12 (I’m in my late 40s now). I have hormonal and medication induced alopecia, and I’ve been treating that for several months. Now that I have some growth, I had wanted to nourish the dried and split ends that were wispy and made me look like a cross between the hobbit thing “my precious” and Albert Einstein (as far as hair goes).Enter this stuff. My daughter told me to avoid using it at the roots so my hair wouldn’t look greasy, and to use it in the rest of my length. I have hair a few inches past my shoulders, and two pumps rubbed between my palms is more than enough. After I shower and gentle towel dry my hair, I distribute it to my bangs/fringes, then my length avoiding the roots, finger comb and fluff and let it set for about three to five minutes before gently combing out with a wooden wide tooth comb. By the morning, my fine, limp and frizzed out hair looks plump, refreshed and hydrated.I use this a couple times a week so that my hair doesn’t get too used to it and this stops working. It adds shine and style but not grease, which I’ve always been afraid of with hair oils. Oh, and the smell? Freaking gorgeous. Not like old lady roses, but a gentle whiff of the first roses of summer/spring carried on a soft breeze. It’s calming and luxurious and I’m looking forward to trying more from this brand.

I love the smell and feel of this product. It’s just the right amount of “oily” and not so greasy if that makes sense. It’s light on my hair and the smell lasts for a decent amount of time. I have thick, full curly hair that gets dry and this product helps reduce the dryness. I apply this at night time especially after showering. Only thing is that it doesn’t last for a full day and I have to re-apply.

Update: this company has fabulous customer service. They reached out with their concern about my dissatisfaction with the product and offered to make it right. I must emphasize that I LOVE the smell of the product and wish they made it in a lotion or body oil. If you have thicker, wavy or curly hair and like this scent profile, buy it. I wish I could use it. The smell is so long lasting.I have really thin, wavy hair and cannot use products with silicones as it has a tendency to seriously weigh my hair down. Despite listing no silicones, this hair oil does have it. It greased my hair right up and provided too much moisture/oiliness. Avoid if you have thin/fine hair or can’t use silicones. Make sure you wash your hands thoroughly after putting in hair. The product got near my eyes and they are watering like crazy. Not sure which ingredient leads to eye sensitivity, but be careful. I have to say that I do, however, love the smell. Can’t recommend overall.

I'm Autistic and have sensory issues. I can't have anything on me that is thick, sticky or heavy. Sometimes I don't have a reason I can articulate.This oil is none of those things.This oil is absolutely gorgeous smelling and absorbs instantly. The scent is present but not overpowering.It is not oily or greasy but seems to moisturize my hair wonderfully.I am so thrilled I'm going to place an order for some of their other products.

My hair is not thick but also not thin, mid length down my back, straight, I used two pumps and it works great! Not too oily, nice and lightweight, made my hair shiny and silky! I wish I could love it, but I got the black tea scent expecting it too really smell more like black tea but it’s very manly..and only a hint of black tea. I give it 5 stars for effectiveness, 5 stars for strength of smell, 5 stars for price, 2 stars for smell. I’m sorry! It just smells very manly and quite strong. So overall I give it three stars.

⭐️Wowza! I'm so thankful I decided to try this..... I wasn't sure because f the review were back and forth, but DANG! THE SMELL IS SUBTLE YET AMAZING! the SHINE!!!! IS PERFECT AND SO LIGHT! I'm so happy I tried it. It was at a good price point too. I bought the pink, Rose one. It smells a bit stronger at 1st then subsides, but leaves a fresh, and beautiful smell. It brings a little bit of happiness on cloudy days...I'm in love. ⭐️

This Black Tea Nourishing Hair Essence with Green Tea, Protein & Biotin for Nourishment and Shine, Creamy Woody Scent made my hair feel very dry the second day. I won't use it again, as I am worried it will further dry my hair.When I first used it, this essence did detangle my hair, although not as much as I thought it would. For reference, I have waist-length, highlighted blonde hair. The ends tend to get dry, so I am very careful with my hair health. When I applied the essence to my hair, at first my hair felt silky. The second day, my roots were greasy and the ends of my hair were very dry. I used a moisturizing masque when I cleaned my hair, to inject as much moisture as possible.The fragrance was more unisex than I expected, and not flowery or fruity.Much more drying than I want in a hair product.

Smell is incredible, love this for breaking the cast on my curls. It’s not overpowering and yet still lingers all day. Love this.
