Optical Illusion Smoothing Oil

I have to say it again, this is the first use. I didn't even buy it, it was a sample in my beautylish box. But here i am writing this review, I love it!

let me give a bit more details. I have thin hair. I wear a hair topper (human hair, not synthetic) regularly. The one i'm constantly wearing is bleached with highlights and lowlights. as soon as i started washing it regularly, (as often as you should) it started to get very tangly and dry. I couldn't tame it or style it properly. It's a very expensive piece, but this is what happens when you choose to go blonde with a topper. Anyway, i learnt from watching youtube videos that the best way to tame the hair is to apply a dab of hair oil daily at night after taking it off and brushing it. And true to those tutorials, the trick worked. I've been using Anillo hair oil, and this japanese serum viral on tiktok (forgot the name) and it got really better. Much better than before. Apparently, this hack works for all hair, not just toppers and wigs. on to the main point... i received today my order from beautylish. in the box i found this sample. i read the name of the product but didn't think much of it. i had seen the brand before, but didn't realize that this is a different line than R+CO. I opened the sample to a slightly thicker than water consistency for the oil. It's not as runny as the K18 hair oil. the smell is divine. and the texture is rich and elegant. i have (with the help of the topper) long and thick hair, but less than a pea sized drop was more than enough to do the job. IMMEDIATELY, i felt the difference! the shine, the moisture, the smell, the lush sensation. the frizz is gone and the tangles were brushed away. it's been more than an hour, and i can still feel the moisture. My hair didn't tangle once (unusual in my case). no fly aways and no frizz.

I need to remind you (and myself) that this is my first use. But if this is like this really... i think we found an ultimate winner.

I've been using this for the past week and absolutely thrilled with the results! With this oil, I was hoping I could use it on damp, but most importantly, on dry hair. With most hair oils, I can easily use while the hair is damp, as it disperses the product a bit better and it will generally dry down non greasy even if it is a bit heavy to begin with. The challenging part is finding a hair oil lightweight enough to use while the hair is dry. For reference, I have coarse, wavy hair with bleached blonde highlights. No only does this oil not leave a greasy finish on my hair, it leaves it just super silky, shiny and slippery to the touch. My hair is fairly damaged from the bleaching but this tames down the frizz on my ends perfectly. The best part is the effect lasts for the days after I apply this so there is no need for me to reapply until I wash my hair again. My previous favorites are the Oribe Gold Lust Hair Oil as well as the Sisley Precious Hair Care Oil. While both of those are fabulous and I still consider to be my holy grails, I have to say I like this one best.
