Smells Amazing

Very pleased to have been able to buy a trial size (have so many 'used once' full size products which have done nothing for my hair). Smells amazing, doesn't irritate my scalp, and doesn't make hair feel 'waxy' and heavy. Will wait and see to what extent it tames the dreaded frizz, but happy to go ahead and order a full size one IDC.

Thank you so much for sharing this, we are so glad you are enjoying the scent and that it feels light and comfortable on your hair and scalp. It is great to hear the trial size worked for you, and we hope it continues to help with frizz too. Izzy @ ARKIVE

Started using this a while back and love it, protects my hair for blow drying and feels good. Pleased to find that they do a travel size

Amazing

I honestly cannot believe how good this is! I have dry coloured heat damaged hair that can look and feel like straw. I’ve used this twice now and the difference is unbelievable- my hair feels silky and the dry ends have gone. I’m so in love I’ve just purchased Arkive’s shampoo and conditioner to replace the Aveda ones I currently use.
