Advantages: conditions, shines and detangles
Disadvantages: slightly wary of the promises it makes!
INTRODUCTION
I am constantly trying out new conditioning products due to my dry long and colour damaged hair! This one caught my eye in the local budget toiletry store probably because of its shimmery pink bottle and two tone liquid.
Basically its a spray on leave in conditioner in a recyclable 200ml bottle. Unlike conditioner that you wash in and then out after so many minutes this one is to be applied to clean towel dried or dry hair and LEFT IN.
COST/ AVAILABILITY
Gliss Hair Repair is available in local chemists such as boots, bargain toiletry stores such as Body Care, supermarkets or online.
It costs around £3.79 for a 200ml bottle. Using every day on mine and my daughters hair this bottle will last us around a month.
THE PROMISES
Ok this bottle is full of those on the front.... "liquid hair repair technology" "express repair conditioner" "immediate combability and shine". Talk about getting my hopes up!
On the reverse of the bottle there is varying information including how the new liquid keratin specifically targets damaged areas of hair. It suggests that this product is specifically for dry brittle hair.
There is information on directions: SHAKE BEFORE USE (this mixes the two tone liquid into one) and apply to clean towel dried or dry hair, do not wash out.
There is information on ingredients, recycling and contact information together with shelf life once opened.
The bottle has a plastic lid and a pump action spray.
THE PRODUCT
The smell of this hair product is divine it has a floral but fresh smell.
There is no doubt at all that this product works, it left my hair shiny and conditioned. It was also far easier to comb through with this product in it than without it. I was impressed to say the least.
HOWEVER.......... as far as repairing my hair was concerned I don't think so. It provided a temporary solution to my dry damaged hair it certainly does not transform it into undamaged perfect locks!
THE VERDICT
A great leave in conditioner but to say they "over egg" what this product can do is an understatement. YES it conditions, YES it makes my hair shiny, YES it is easier to comb.... REPAIRED IT IS NOT!
