The Best Hair Essence, Serum or Oil

For Whom/What:

Thick and curly hair

Budget:

as long as it's effective, willing to spend $$$

Requirements:

doesn't weigh hair down

adds shine and softness

has a good scent

keeps my ends hydrated and moisturized

leave in or overnight

Extra Details:

What is your go-to leave-in hair essence or serum? Do you use hair oil as well? I'm looking for a weightless formula that targets split ends in between haircuts. I've been using Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Marvelous Oil, but I find it to be a bit too heavy. I'm also getting tired of the scent.

If you’re looking for a vegan, silicone-free overnight treatment that genuinely improves hair strength and softness, this is a fantastic option. It’s perfect for those who want a low-maintenance, high-impact repair treatment while they sleep. A bit pricey, but worth it if you want salon-level results at home.
