I intend to add a proper review to this thread in a couple of weeks, but am posting the ingredients now because I want to throw the box away! There are very few reviews or other useful information on this product online, so please add your thoughts if you have tried it! *anyone*

Sharp eyes will notice the dreaded silicones, and know that silicones ain't Curly Girl! 😮 I am looking for a product to eliminate or at least substantially reduce colour transfer for a wedding later this month so will get into bed with the devil if needs be! So far I have only applied this to the back of my hand, and it feels similar to a make-up primer or chafing cream, silicone blended with something to leave an almost powdery finish. Definitely not greasy at all, might be able to use it as a leave-in rather than a wash out for less wasted product?

How did your experiments go? *whistle*

So far I am not impressed. I didn't apply the product until a few days after I dyed my hair, and during that time I attempted to fade the dye somewhat and experienced very little rub off with my regular routine (CO-wash, cool water, vinegar rinse, leave in conditioner). For a start I expected amazing softness and shine given the online reviews and the fact the product contains silicones, but TBH I get better results with my regular conditioning regime (oil based). On rinsing after application the water was pink and was a significantly darker pink after my next wash (gentle sulphate free shampoo to shift hairspray, cool water, vinegar rinse). It's a shame I don't really have anything to compare my experience to, being new to semi permanent colours. I may contact the company to see if the product is suited to semi dyes, or if my unusual routine might be a factor.
