\"...This is by far the best conditioning treatment I have ever used!! I have tried so many different conditioners, and so often felt disappointed! This product promises that it \"restores elasticity to ***dry brittle hair***\" and \"repairs damage caused by chemical and heat services.\" And it does exactly that. If you have ever got so upset that your hair is dry, knotted and dull that you have wanted to cut it all off, then this is the product for you...\"
