Hair feels heavy or greasy after use
Ensure you are rinsing thoroughly after the treatment. Shampoo and condition as usual, and consider using a clarifying shampoo occasionally if heavy build-up is a concern.
No noticeable improvement in hair strength or texture
Ensure the product is applied generously and evenly to damp hair, covering all strands. Leave it on for the recommended minimum of 3 minutes, or longer for more intensive repair. Consistency is key; results improve with continued use.
