Review: Special Effects Silk Drops Hair Serum

So I have a sister, Maddie, who is obsessed with hair products. I'm not into hair styling as I am coloring since my hair is so difficult to deal with. But when my sister brought this home from the drugstore I knew I had to try it. The bottle says its "sheer liquid silk smoothing and polishing hair serum that smoothes frizziness, split end, and glosses hair." The directions say to apply small amount to palm, rub hands together, and apply to surface of damp hair working into ends.

The first thing I noticed is the smell, it smells exactly like the BedHead products from Tigi, so that was a plus right away.This product does a great job at smoothing and softening your hair. I thought that was really important for my hair since its been damaged from coloring it inthe past. Another plus is that you can apply this to your hair dry or damp [I tried both], and it won't make your hair look greasy like some serums do when applied to dry hair. It just soaks into each strand leaving them soft and easy to brush through.
Overall Rating: A-
The scent does fade fairly soon after application.
