Texture & Feel

Texture & Feel

Expected texture
Concentrated serum or cream — lightweight yet nutrient-dense
SpreadabilityVery easy
AbsorptionFast
Tackiness / ResidueVery low
Finish:Clean, manageable hair — not a skin finish

Lather and slip — designed for even distribution through hair strands. Silicones create a smooth, velvety "slip" with a blurring sensory effect. Slight initial tackiness that fades into a hydrated dewy finish.
