Okay, I can't find a really big image but this will do. At the end I'll add a link with more information if you're interested. :DIt actually turns out that this stuff is aimed more towards African Americans. Well, nice to know that now. But I don't care because my scalp is under very similar conditions. I have very curly hair. Not afro tight, but pretty curly. I'll have to take a picture some time. Anyway, it has a lot to do with your skin type and mine can be pretty dry in the winter. In the summer it's more toward the dry/combination side of things. The more dry your skin, the more curly your hair. That's why people with oily skin usually have pretty straight hair (like my mom).
So there was this huge "Buy one get one for 88 cents" deal and Penny's and I had to jump on that. I really wanted to get some more Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum and to get it for practically BOGO free? I was so there. But while I was there I saw this product. The first thing that caught my eye was the "Kera" part of the name. I had learned from my beautician friend over the summer that curly hair is low in keratin, so I had been looking for something to help replenish my supply of the shinifying protein.
After I saw the "Kera" thing, I saw "Glossifier." Hey cool! I also wanted to get a glossifying thingy. I love shine, and sometimes my hair can look a bit dull. And to top it off, in the very top of the label was a box with the words "Dry&Itchy Scalp." That was it! I was gettin this stuff no matter what! I have a very itchy scalp that started a few years ago and I can't figure out what is causing it. So I'm always trying to find stuff to help.
Well actually, not anymore! I've found it!!! This stuff works WONDERFULLY! I can really tell when I don't use the stuff because my head will be killing me all day long. It's absolutely AWFUL! And it's so embarrassing to scratch your head around other people. Plus when you wear black it shows up. :P Ick.
Thing only thing that is a slight downer about this product is that it can look like too much really fast. You only need a VERY LITTLE. Very little. I learned this the hard way. I put too much in when I first got it and then straightened my hair. It looked like I hadn't showered in a week. So what I do now is I rub my fingertips in a few circles on the top of the product, then spread the product (what I got on my fingertips) down the length of my fingers and then rub it all over my scalp. I'm thinking it could definitely be used as an all-over glossifier, but it's only meant for your scalp so it's up to you.
It has menthol in it which is weird to me because I heard that menthol on your lips only dries them out more, and since you have a dry scalp that you're trying to cure, why would you want to dry it out more? But it works and I love it. You can even smell the menthol a little bit. They did try to cover it up with some other smell though.
I got this for somewhere between $7-8 (4 oz.), but if you try to get it online it could cost more or less. It's all where you look. But I would make sure you have an authorized source because if it's not, you could be getting a bad product. I would try to find it at a salon near you!
