Advantages: keeps split ends at bay, shines and adds instant protein to your hair.
Disadvantages: if you use to much can be very greasy.
My hair is my main asset and I do everything I can to have it looking nice and healthy, after a very bad experience at the hairdressers with a full head of bleached highlights, I have really started to take care of my hair.
I still blowdry and straighten my hair daily, I have tried not to but it just has to be done. I always buy good hair products to try and prevent my hair from further damage, because I just couldn't live without the hair straighteners.
The lasted edition to my collection is the GHD angel tears, I am saying latest as I am only just starting to use it but I think it has been around for a long while. The grape vine also tells me that these are going to be discontinued in the near future and replaced by the GHD rescue drops.
I am under the understanding that both products are exactly the same, but these angel tears were brought out as part of a limited edition promotion.
THE PRODUCT
Angel tears is basically a protein keratin that is used to restore the hairs structure, as hair is made from protein keratin this just gives you that bit more protein, to keep your hair in its natural state and looking and actually being nice and healthy.
The product is instantly absorbed into the hair to replace and protein that has been lost by excessive heat abuse, leaving your hair in the best possible condition.
GHD products have always smelt fantastic, but this product is not in the same league as the rest of the products in the smell department. I find it smells strange the only way I can possibly describe it, is that it smell bland with a gingerish aroma. It is a good job you only need a few drops otherwise you wouldn't dream of putting this into you mane.
This is a product that can be used on all hair types, I would recommend you try it if you suffer from split ends, as this is the first sign that your hair is lacking in this essential protein Keratin.
This little plastic bottle basically looks like eye drops and has the same sort of dropping spout, to allow you to only get small amounts of the product at a time. This is great as I am very heavy handed and I would use far too much if it didn't let out one drop at a time.
PRICE
This is a very small bottle and at 12.70 for a small 30ml bottle you can easily be put of by the excessive price tag, but as you only need one or two drops for each application this is very reasonable.
I feel that this product will last about two of three months so the price is not too bad.
This has become very hard to get hold of now, but some GHD salons may still have this in stock, if you log on to www.ghdhair.co.uk they will advise you on where to look for the your nearest GHD stockiest.
I personally bought mine online from www.jasonshankey.co.uk when I purchased my new IV irons, a 30ml bottle cost me 12.70 but as I spent so much I got free postage. So remember you will have postage costs on orders under 100.00.
APPLICATION
This is so simple to use apply a few drops to washed towel dried hair, work the liquid through the hairs mid length and ends. You can apply it to the roots if you think it needs it but in my experience I wouldn't bother as it turned my hair greasy really quickly.
Once you are happy that the product has been worked through your hair, you just style as normal and hay presto your done.
MY OPINION
I don't think this would repair really damaged hair, but it would prevent further damage and give your hair the best possible change against those dreaded straighteners and curling tongs.
At first you will not see much difference but the more you use it the more you will notice your hair is frizz free and it seems to get that extra bit of shine. If like me your hair fuzzes at the first sniff of rain, then this will work for you it seems to have defused the wild hair on damp days.
I really like the fact that if I notice those dreaded split ends I have these angel tears to rescue me, my split ends instantly improve and prevent them from splitting further. This way I can still go to the hairdressers every twelve weeks instead of every time I notice these ends, other wise I would be visiting every few weeks, so in the long run this will save me lots of pennies.
If you have split dry hair, then this liquid protein keratin will give your hair instant shine, strength and softness.
Summary: great for dry damaged, brittle and split hair..........
