When I got the product, I did not read the box too well. Imagine my surprise when I opened it to use it and a plastic glove was included. I was too curious to not continue. So I followed the directions. For lack of better words, it's like a semi-permanent straightener. It is heat activated, thus the name blow dry perfector!
First, I washed my hair then I combed in the Smooth It Serum. I was instructed to let it sit for 20 minutes then rinse out. It does have an oder, but very livable and short lived
Next, I put in the Heat-Activated Perfect-It Cream. It had a nice smell to it.
I then proceeded to blow my hair dry. I have chin length hair, but a lot of it so it usually takes me a while to dry it effectively. Therefore, I typically do not dry my hair, but let my flat iron do the straightening later. Since it is heat activated, I did as directed. After blowing my hair dry using a nice round brush, my hair came out shiny and straight! I did use my flat iron to take seal the deal! However, I have not had to use my flat iron as often during the week to fix the sleeping on the hair mess that I usually have.
My hair has stayed in place and I am quite pleased with the results. Please note that I also work out a lot and sweat profusely. My hair is soaking wet when I finish. And yet, my hair still straight when it is dry! I am in serious like with this product.
Garnier recommends waiting 2 weeks before applying color. It was perfect timing. I went to get my roots touched up 2 weeks later and my stylist even commented on how much easier my hair was to style.
All in all, I see this as a great product to have!! I will be stopping at my handy dandy Wal-Mart to pick up my next box very soon!
