Thick 4c hair

I used this product for the very first time today and my word, this hair balm really is the real deal! It really moisturised my thick 4c hair and my hair feels luscious!

A little really goes a long way and it is definitely worth the price.

Wish this would come in a bigger size cos I would buy it in a heart beat. :D

Extremely moisturising. Should come in a bigger size.

A little goes a LONG way!

My initial reaction when I first received this product was "Why is it so small?" But a little goes a LONG way! I use this after washing my hair and let me tell you, my hair feels moisturized for DAYS!!!

Great product :)

Don't need a lot to coat a section of hair, especially if you're low porosity. Smells good and very moisturizing!

Lovely shine

I bought this product as I needed a hair oil to aid my twists.
The product is absolutely lovely, aids with the plaiting of my hair when wet and keeps the final curls, when my hair in unravelled, nice and shiny. Easy to use and adds shine

Low porosity hair

At first I didn't use it well on my fine, low porosity hair and then I got : tiny amount just at the tips of my hair and it did wonders. It's like a styling gel which helps my curls stay defined, shiny, and well hydrated. I bought it 1 year ago and I'm barely hitting the bottom. I'll definitely repurchase it.

hydrates
keeps the frizz away (I live in tropical weather)
Smells good
very, very little goes a long way

If you have 3B/C fine hair, it's a bit heavy, so use a tiny amount.
