I have long, somewhat frizzy oily hair with lots of split ends at the moment. It's been color treated many times, although not recently. I was excited to try this Profound Beauty Time-Out Treatment, because my hair seems like it could use a good leave in treatment. Especially one that sounds like it does so much stuff! (Here's the product description—it sounds really technical and scientific! �...read more�Our exclusive Hydrophobic Complex™ mimics your hair's natural F-Layer, a barrier that lies on top of the cuticle, maintaining the hair's moisture balance in order to prevent frizz. Color processing permanently removes the F-Layer, compromising the hair's hydrophobicity and resulting in hair that is more porous and frizz inclined. Hush Time-Out Treatment mimics the F-Layer and restores the hydrophobicity of the hair - smoothing the fiber and allowing it to naturally repel environmental moisture that would normally result in frizz. Instantly detangles, absorbs into the hair and will not weigh hair down.”) And it even claims to be “time released!” However, this product is just kind of mediocre. It's first ingredient is water, and it's second two ingredients are alcohols—which are DRYING. The product feels a little greasy on your hands at first, then isn't. It seems like it helps frizz a LITTLE bit, but nothing magical. This product does not detangle my hair at ALL. $30 for 2 oz is also ridiculous. Even though the directions say “apply a precious amount to the shaft and ends,” 2 oz of product is basically travel sized! The packaging is fairly boring, and feels kind of cheap—like an inexpensive lotion squeeze tube. It doesn't really seem to have any scent to it. You can find comparable products in the Hair Care aisle at the grocery store, so I'm not repurchasing this. Made in the USA, not tested on animals.
