Expect a process with this Recovery Balm

Worked for my daily bun
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] As someone who has to wear a bun every single day for work, my ends were starting to feel the damage — dry, frizzy, and just plain tired. Enter the Kristin Ess Anytime Anywhere Recovery Balm + Bun Cap. This balm has been a total game-changer in my routine. I apply it before putting my hair up, and not only does it help control frizz and flyaways, but it actually nourishes my strands throughout the day. It leaves my hair feeling soft, hydrated, and noticeably less brittle when I take it down. The texture is like a solid balm stick, which makes application mess-free and perfect for on-the-go use. Plus, the Zip-Up Technology is supposed to help strengthen and smooth split ends — and I honestly have noticed a difference after just a few uses. If you're someone who lives in a daily bun like me, this is a solid add to your routine.

I didn't love this. I don't think it did anything for my hair at all. It did tame flyaways but that's about all and all I would use it for. The smell was okay too. I personally would not purchase in the future or recommend.I got this product for free

Hair Type Wavy Hair
Product smells good and works amazingly! Packaging is small and easy to travel with and it doesn't leave a nasty texture on hair which I love cause some balms leave a greasy feeling

I have fine, thin hair with frizzy ends. This product has really helped tame my ends. I love that it is lightweight too. It's super easy to use and the scent is light. I love that it is an easy to use balm. I just rub a little on the palms of my hands and apply to my hair.
