The Serum That Turned My Over-Processed Hair Into Flaxen Silk Recently my male coworker made reference to my "natural" blonde hair. ROFL! Boys, right!? I guess he's not hip to the fact that pretty much every adult woman with baby-blonde highlights pays for them. And, boy, do I pay for them -- with ever-drier, ever-tanglier texture from increasingly frequent dalliances with bleach.
Then I used Kérastase Initialiste Scalp & Hair Treatment. When I rub a few drops on my hair, it becomes so dreamily silky, frizz-free, pleasantly perfumed and manageable that I can't stop running my fingers through it. (Another novelty: being able to run my fingers through it.) I even deemed it worthy of carting along on my twice-monthly, carry-on-only plane trips out of state.
I'm almost through with the bottle, but I'm so desperate at the thought of not having any left that I'm trying not to use it, letting the last bit linger in my medicine cabinet like a precious relic. I know it doesn't make sense. Then again, neither does shelling out $60 for 2.2 ounces of hair serum -- that is, until you try it. --Katie McCarthy
