KaoMelt Moist Conditioning WaterMy hair is on the thicker side and the ends tend to get dry, so I used the moist type. It really does live up to being called a toner for your hair, with a very watery, runny texture. It makes my hair sooo silky, and I can run my fingers right through it. It was hard to tell if it added shine since my dark hair is already pretty shiny, but the ends of my hair looked more put-together. There's just one downside: the scent is very strong. I wasn't a fan because the sweet, perfume-like scent lasts through the night💦 By the next day, it's faded to a light scent, so it doesn't particularly bother me. I liked how it felt to use, so I'm planning to try another line as well. I think people who like strong, sweet scents will love it!

Healing BirdRevive No-Wash Treatment Ultra ShineThis Healing Bird line works amazingly well for me, so I use all three products. This one is great for adding shine before styling. It feels a little heavy if I apply it while blow-drying, so I use it on dry hair before flat ironing. It also makes the iron glide more smoothly, and my hair gets seriously glossy. No more tangles either! It gets sticky if I apply too much, so I'm careful about how much I use. It's a must-have whenever I curl or straighten my hair.

THERATISTerra Night Control Hair Milk✍️Thoughts after finishing it ・The rose tea aroma smells nice 🥀💓 ・It leaves my hair feeling super silky smooth! ・The texture isn't heavy, and it feels lightweight when applied It's more silky than moisturizing, so people who usually want to moisturize with heavier oils and such may find it isn't moisturizing enough or that their hair feels dry. On the other hand, I'd recommend it to people who don't like anything sticky ◎ It comes with 180 g, so it's a good value 👍🏻 Honestly, I was going to repurchase what I'd been using before, but it was out of stock, so I bought this as a stopgap, and it was surprisingly good. I like that it makes my hair silky, but winter and the dry season are coming up, so I probably wouldn't buy it during that time

WellaUltimate Repair Miracle Hair RescueJust a few sprays of the mist before drying, and my hair doesn't tangle and feels so smooth when I run my fingers through it—amazing! If your hair is dry or gets tangled... you HAVE to‼️ HAVE to‼️ try this!!
-
ReFaMilk Protein Outbath TreatmentIt doesn't feel too heavy when you apply it and absorbs quickly! Might be good for people who don't like oils, but maybe it won't be enough for people who want tons of moisture It wasn't sticky, which I personally liked The scent and packaging are super nice, and they put me in a good mood 🤍 It's cute and the way it feels will probably work for most people, so I often get it and give it as a little gift 🎁 I used this on its own, but maybe it'd be better to use it together with the shampoo and treatment from the same line!

MeltSmooth Conditioning WaterThis stuff is seriously amazing‼️ Out of all the affordable leave-in treatments, this is my favorite right now, and I keep repurchasing it🫶 Just like the name "Water" suggests, it has a water-like texture that's just a tiiiny bit thick It absorbs right into my hair It's not sticky and the scent isn't too strong, so I also love how easy it is to use every day🌟 But my absolute favorite thing about it is that it cuts down my blow-drying time👏 I was using it without even knowing about that major benefit, and after I finished it up, while I was using a different treatment, I thought, huh, blow-drying seems to be taking longer... Then I found out that Melt helps hair dry faster with a blow-dryer😂 Ever since having a baby, I want to cut even one second off my blow-drying time & I'm impatient, so this is beyond perfect for me💘 My hair feels smooth after blow-drying✨️ That said, I feel like this alone might not be moisturizing enough, so sometimes I use a milk-type product from another brand after Melt. I'm super happy with these results at this price, so I plan to keep repurchasing it💫

Little ScientistReKERA EmulsionI have coarse, thick, long hair that I get fully straightened every six months to a year, and it’s damaged from dryness, friction, and flat ironing. It has a lightweight texture that’s easy to work into my hair, and it feels like it keeps everything nicely under control all the way to the ends. It doesn’t leave my hair feeling too heavy, and after drying, it calmed down the frizz and puffiness and made my hair easier to manage. It works especially well with my dry, stiff-feeling ends, and since it’s easy to use when I want my hair to stay together but oil alone tends to weigh down the surface, I use it as a leave-in hair milk. Since I have long, chemically straightened hair, I’m always concerned about dryness and damage at the ends, but I liked how this moisturized my hair while smoothing out the texture and making it easier to manage. I think it’s an easy-to-use hair care product for anyone concerned about dryness, color damage, or other damage.

Mise En ScènePerfect No-Wash Treatment Cream PackThis product is supposed to work as both an after-shampoo treatment and an out-of-bath hair care product. It's also a time-saving item that cuts down on the number of steps in your hair care routine. (Quoted from Olive Young Global above) When I used the same amount as my usual hair milk, my hair looked noticeably dry, so after figuring out the right amount, it ended up being about as much as shown in the photo. You need about as much as you would use for an in-shower hair pack. The packaging is large for a hair milk, so I wondered how long it would take to use up... but if I use this much every time, one tube will probably last around 2–3 months. It feels lightweight while leaving my hair moisturized and manageable. I do think you have to apply a lot, but it doesn't make my shampoo lather poorly the next day, and one shampoo is enough. Floral fruity scent (official description) It's a light scent, and only lingers enough to notice when I let my hair down or smell it up close. It has heat-protecting properties, so I recommend it not only for blow-drying, but also for anyone who uses a flat iron or curling iron. My dry hair would probably need more than the official suggested method of skipping treatment... so I won't use it that way, but as a hair milk, it contains seven types of oils, which I think are good for nourishing the hair.

MilbonJemile Fran Melty ButterMy hair is fine and damaged from a perm, but when I apply this all over after a shower, focusing mainly on the ends, and blow-dry it, my hair becomes silky smooth. If I apply too much, it feels heavy and greasy, but there's no problem if I use the right amount. It has a sweet scent that people will probably either love or hate. It doesn't actually improve your hair quality and just feels like it moisturizes temporarily, so I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking to improve their hair quality.

GrowusDamage Therapy No Wash Treatment ExIt’s such a famous product, so I was curious and decided to buy it, but wow, the glitter… Once you spray it, there’s literally shimmer everywhere… The floor around where I sprayed it gets so slippery. It’s also kind of oily, so if you spray too much, your hair looks a little greasy and weighed down, and the scent is Bulgarian rose, but it’s pretty strong, like perfume. I gave it to a friend just a few days after spraying it, seriously 😭 I definitely recommend testing it before you buy it.

GrowusDamage Therapy No Wash Treatment ExIt has a subtle floral scent, so I’ve been enjoying using it. 🌸 My hair usually tangles easily, so it wouldn’t brush through smoothly and my hair would often break, but after spraying it a few times and brushing, the tangles are definitely reduced and it brushes through much more smoothly. Also, it has a subtle shimmer that sparkles when you shake it, so it’s pretty, smells nice, and seems to help with taking care of my hair, so I’m happily using it. The only downside is that sometimes the shimmer gets on my hands after I touch my hair.
