When I first used this, the first thing that came to mind was: \"Wow! This smells AMAZING!\" I really loved the scent - it wasn\'t the usual smell I would expect from a hair spray. It smelled natural and I loved the bottle. I loved to blow drying and straightenin and I do have a long black hair that damages easily. My sister in law is working in a saloon as a hairdresser and introduce this product - heat protectant to me. After one month used, she noticed my hair looked healthier with less breakage. Just spray into your hands first then distribute throughout hair. It leaves hair shiny and glossy and protects from any heat tools.
