This leave in spray is so good! I recently decided to switch leave in sprays and try something new and decided to try this one by Kristen Ess. The smell is sooo good and it makes my hair feel so soft and shiny. I love that protects my color as well. I will definitely be purchasing again when it runs out.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this leave-in conditioner to try along with the shampoo & conditioner. If you’re looking for a lightweight yet effective leave-in conditioner to maintain your color-treated hair, this one is worth considering! Pros: Moisturizing Without Being Heavy – It hydrates and softens without making hair greasy or weighed down. Color Shield UV Complex – Helps protect against fading from sun exposure, which is a great bonus. Heat Protection – Shields hair from heat damage up to 450°F, making it ideal for those who style with hot tools. Boosts Shine & Manageability – Leaves hair looking glossy and helps detangle for smoother styling. Cons: Scent is Strong – Like the rest of the Peptide Protect line, the fragrance is noticeable and may be too much for some. Not Heavy Enough for Very Dry/Coarse Hair – If your hair needs deep nourishment, this might not be rich enough on its own. Overall thought this leave-in conditioner is a great everyday option for keeping colored hair soft, shiny, and protected from both UV and heat damage. It’s lightweight enough for fine to medium hair but may need to be layered with an additional product for deeper hydration.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pleasant scent that does not linger. It leaves your hair shiny. Know that when you spray a leave in conditioner it gets everywhere. So it can leave the shower or bathroom floor slippery.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The complimentary Kristin Ess Hair Peptide Protect Anti-Fade Leave-In Conditioner has been a lifesaver for keeping my color-treated hair vibrant and healthy! The scent is a soft, salon-fresh fragrance that lingers beautifully without being overpowering. I love the sleek, minimalist packaging as it looks so chic on my shelf and the spray nozzle makes application a breeze. The lightweight texture absorbs quickly without any greasiness, leaving my hair feeling soft and smooth. It’s super effective at protecting my color while adding hydration and shine. For the quality and the results, it’s absolutely worth every penny—my hair has never felt better!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I paired this leave in conditioner with peptide protect anti-fade shampoo and conditioner. It protects hair against heat damage and my dry hair has become more soft and there is less breakage after using this leave in conditioner. I have used hair dryer and hair straightener and this product has helped to keep the hair soft.
Good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This leave-in conditioner left my hair feeling like I just left the salon. It smells great, left my hair shiny and soft and most importantly, feeling strong. The heat protecting formula is a game changer! Like walking out of a salon. It protects my color-treated hair and I highly recommend!

Not only does it detangle my hair effortlessly, but it leaves my hair feeling incredibly soft and nourished! 🌿 I adore how lightweight it is, yet still super hydrating. It keeps my hair feeling smooth, frizz-free, and looking shiny all day long. The added peptides make my hair feel stronger and healthier, and I can definitely notice less breakage. If you’re looking for a leave-in that protects, adds moisture, and enhances shine, this is a MUST-try! 💁🏼♀️✨

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ok so I’m not the biggest fan of the smell but it’s not a bad smell . However this leave in conditioner is my new buy from now on . I love the color of the bottle . The sprayer isn’t the easiest but oh well . It’s a big bottle so worth the cost . It made my hair easy to brush through it made it shiny and it looked and stayed fabulous for the week .
Works well, smells good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I do enjoy this product. I use it with another leave in conditioner/detangler. It smells nice, works well. Just wish it was a little more hydrating. That was my issue with the whole line. I have very dry hair, especially in the winter months so I need lots of moisture that this product didn’t offer.
Awesome

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This leave in conditioner was okay. Not my favorite of the products. I am not a fan of the pump but it really didn’t make my hair feel any better. I wouldn’t buy this. Felt heavy and made my hair a bit greasy looking.
Great.
