I wish it was the weekend. It has already been a shortened week and yet still feels like it's been dragging. I kinda want to watch a movie to pass this Thursday but nothing looks interesting. Last week I watch Lilo and Stitch because I was going to watch the Live Action. It's definitely one of the better live actions and Lilo was just as cute as she is in the cartoon- made me want to adopt a six year old 😂 It's also a tear jerker. It will pull the ugly cry.
But back to the leave in. I'm so proud of me because I've really been pretty faithful with the leave in conditioner over the past year or so. I don't think it's made a huge difference in my hair...but I'm gonna keep sticking with it.

This is definitely on the pricy side for a leave in conditioner. I know I didn't pay full price..I might have paid around $20.00. And I don't think it was worth that.
It smells like the iconic bum bum cream. I wasn't a big fan of the cream, thought it was overhyped and smelled like something from Victoria's Secret. But I did like the scent of it much more in the deodorant. But that didn't really work for me. I guess you can say I'm not the biggest fan of the line- but figured I would give it another go.
I believe this is the first "spray" leave in conditioner I've used. Though it's not really even a spray. It's like a really thin cream. Not as lightweight as one might think though. Or it might be my fault because I used too much. I wouldn't say it really builds up on my hair or weigh it down at the end of the week....I can't feel it coating my hair at all. It mostly feels like nothing but I can still tell the difference in my hair by the end of the week. It just feels a bit stiff by the end f the week. It might also be the gel I put over top of it.
Other than that, it doesn't really do much for my hair. Can't say it adds any substantial moisture. Nor does it help with frizz. It definitely doesn't repair split ends- nothing does that. It might help with tangles though....my hair doesn't seem to get as tangled as it normally does....but it could just be the magic of the Unbrush which I caved and finally bought. I plan to review it later but I LOVE that brush so far.
I did want to test the heat protection but not sure if I want to straighten my hair again just yet. It is nice to have that option though.
It works well as a hair perfume...if you like the scent. I don't mind it. If you love the original bum bum cream and want that scent for your hair- this would be the way to do it.
They do have a q&a that gives more information- like how to use it on the different hair types. For my hair type you just scrunch it in. I try to remember to focus on my ends...but usually in my rush I just do a quick rub all over.
Almost forgot to mention packaging. Very unique and bright yellow silky feeling bottle. But beware the sprayer does get clogged every now and again. Rinsing it with warm water usually gets it unclogged and ready to go again. It was still an annoyance. Especially given this price point.
I like that it has a few more exotic ingredients like Babacu Oil, Brazil Nut Oil, and Cupuacu Butter. It has some interesting ingredients- likely in very small amounts but at least they are there?
Ingredients:
AQUA (WATER, EAU), ETHYLHEXYL OLIVATE, PARFUM (FRAGRANCE), BEHENTRIMONIUM CHLORIDE, HYDROGENATED ETHYLHEXYL OLIVATE, STEARYL ALCOHOL, GLYCERIN, CETYL ALCOHOL, PANTHENOL, HYDROLYZED RICE PROTEIN, SQUALANE, BERTHOLLETIA EXCELSA (BRAZIL NUT) SEED OIL, THEOBROMA GRANDIFLORUM (CUPUAÇU) SEED BUTTER, ORBIGNYA OLEIFERA (BABASSU) SEED OIL, ASTROCARYUM TUCUMÃ SEED BUTTER, HYDROGENATED OLIVE OIL UNSAPONIFIABLES, GARDENIA JASMINOIDES FRUIT EXTRACT, HYDROLYZED GARDENIA FLORIDA EXTRACT, TOCOPHEROL, ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN, MALTODEXTRIN, PHENOXYETHANOL, BENZYL ALCOHOL, LIMONENE, BENZYL SALICYLATE, HYDROXYCITRONELLAL, COUMARIN
Overall, even with the the exciting butters and oils it's not a repurchase for me. I'm glad I tried something new though!
