Well, I finally broke down and bought this overnight hair treatment serum that attracted me in the first place because it’s a serum that you put in DRY hair at night, which is nice, because you don’t absolutely have to blow it out in the morning, as long as you don’t over do it and weigh your hair down with the stuff, and also because if you choose not to and have the right hair type for it, like me, you may not even need to shampoo it out that morning after, unless you really need to or want to, even though he does recommend you do that just because most people do wash their hair daily.
I recently had the Brazilian Keratin hair treatment done, and while I love the results, I still feel like my hair looks a little dry from time to time, and I wonder if it has to do with the fact that I did get my hair wet during the first 3 days of the treatment, which you’re not supposed to do, or just because my hair is naturally dry right now. Whatever the case may be, I needed a hair treatment that could be left in that would bring the moisture back into my hair. I also think the shampoo I have to use for the Brazilian Keratin leaves my hair a little lackluster, but I’m looking for another sulfate free one that will not take the product out. That’s another story for another time though.
I bought John Frieda’s Overnight Repair serum at a local CVS for 7.99, which was marked 2.00 off, so it was originally 9.99, although I know you can buy this product for much cheaper on Amazon.com. It’s hard to find in stores, even the ones that carry John Frieda’s full line of products, so I felt lucky to find it at CVS. It comes in a midnight blue package, and the bottle of product itself is pretty small, although he does say on the back that you only have to use about a quarter size of it, but that’s not true if you have long hair like mine, it’s more like three quarter size squirts, which with how small this bottle is, you use up quite a lot of it in just one use.
I’d say it’ll last someone with long hair about four times, would be my guess, although I haven’t put that theory to the test yet. It has a very pleasant, clean smell going on, and it feels like it glides right into your hair. It is a light formula, so it doesn’t feel sticky or weigh the hair down, but rather you see a sheen pretty quickly which is more than I can say for a lot of other hair care products. I woke up the next morning to hair that did look slightly stringy, but felt amazingly silky.
I guess the real test is how long it lasts, but he recommends to use it about two to three times a week at night for best results, so my guess is that it doesn’t last too long, but forms a sort of coating on the hair that lasts a few days. My hair does feel and look better, I can tell you that.
