I have naturally wavy & dry hair all my life. Since hitting puberty, I have had to apply oil while my hair is wet after shampoo & conditioner to make my hair look healthy & shiny. I've used different oils, even baby oil, which was probably not good for hair. Since I bought this, I've been applying this to my wet hair instead & enjoying the subtle scent of this! (I don't usually like candles & French cosmetics due to their fragrance, but I love the scent from this serum, which I quite can't put finger on what it is yet find very nostalgic.) Compared to baby oil, this serum doesn't weigh my hair down but gives less shine toward the bottom of my hair, so I probably have to apply more there.
