What They Say: "This uniquely concentrated, versatile hair rejuvenator contains 100 percent Ojon palm nut oil to improve the condition of damaged, color-treated, or processed hair without weighing it down. Fortifying, rebuilding, and nourishing, it leaves hair extraordinarily shiny, silky, and manageable.

To use:
As a Deep Conditioning Treatment: Warm ½ teaspoon full in the palms of your hands (more for longer hair) and distribute onto to dry hair from scalp to ends, leave on for 10-20 minutes, and shampoo well.

As a Leave-In Conditioner: Warm a small amount in the palms of your hands until it becomes a lightweight oil, and distribute thoroughly through towel-dried hair. Style as usual.

As a Shine Enhancer: Heat a very small amount in the palms of your hands and smooth over the surface of dry-styled hair."

Melissa's DeLush Downlow: Oh. My. ...Where to begin? When I first got this I thought, "how the heck do I do this?" Upon opening the container, I saw a little comb for spreading through the hair, a mini foldout sheet with info, and a lip to put inside the jar to seal it under the lid once you've broken the plastic inner seal (because of the product's consistency, it's very important to retain its moisture and keep its temperature average - though they say if it gets too warm and liquefies, you can put it in the refrigerator to get it back to its original texture).

The product is semi-solid, brown and soft in texture, and quickly turns to a golden oil as soon as you warm it between your palms. I apply it with my hands and use about 2 1/2 finger-scoops for my semi-short hair. Then I use the supplied comb to spread it evenly throughout. After the waiting time, I shampoo it out.

I was afraid that this might really weigh my hair down and/or make it look extremely greasy. NOT SO. I was thoroughly ecstatic to get soft, shiny, and non-flyaway hair after using it. Now, keep in mind that I have semi-coarse, thick hair. So try to take that into consideration as you try this out on fine hair - perhaps just use a little less of the product. All I can tell you is that my hair didn't get weighed down at all, and I hadn't had a hair day that good for a few months. It has a wonderful earthy, clean scent (don't worry, it does tone down a little after you rinse it out) which stays in your hair for a few days. It kind of makes me feel like some sort of tropical princess.

I am addicted.

P.S. - Word has it that the hairstylist from "The O.C." uses this on the cast and crew.
