A little goes a long way. I just expected more from the most expensive hair products I've ever purchased. I still have frizz, tho possibly a bit less. There's no noticeable luster or shine. I will say I am now able to go 2 days without shampooing and my style holds.

This product does not lather. You need to thoroughly brush your hair prior to wetting it, scrub really hard with it on the scalp area, and rinse it out. I notice my hair tangles during that process, but I lose significantly less amount of hair even after brushing through at the end. My hair feels cleaner with this product than regular shampoo. I don’t use conditioner because I follow-up with K18 leave-in molecular repair hair mask.

I’ve been using this product since it started and advertised on Instagram. I was one of the first 20 people to have their picture taken and reviewing it as a very good product. The only thing that I find troublesome is that I cannot afford it all the time it’s very expensive
I have used both the mask and the hair oil. I don’t always buy it on the website but get it from other sources.
