Q: Does this product have any heat protection?

submitted by N - 10 months ago
  • A: Hello! Thank you for your question! Kristin Ess Hair Subtle Shine Softening Oil does not have a thermal protectant. You can pair it with the Kristin Ess Hair Style Assist Blow Dry Mist for heat protection up to 450 degrees, just use the Style Assist Blow Dry Mist as the last step in your routine to provide the heat protection before your blow dry. Hope this helps!

I have dry hair. I use this midway down to my ends before I'm going to shampoo my hair. Really makes my hair shiny and soft. I also use her milk oil on my scalp before shampooing. I really like her line of hair products!

This is literally a bunch of chemicals and fragrance + sesame seed oil? None of this seems beneficial to hair. Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with some chemical additives to smooth and protect hair from heat but there are no good, nourishing oils in here.

I’ve noticed a difference in my hair almost immediately after I started using this hair oil. I leave it in my hair for about 20 minutes before I shower and use the Kristin ess shampoo and conditioner. My hair is the softest it’s ever been!

Too oily/looks greasy immediately

KC - 8 months ago, Verified purchaser
Obviously it’s an oil, but it makes your hairy extremely oily with only a tiny amount of product. Not a “healthy glow”.. more like a “haven’t washed my hair in 2 weeks”. Had to return it and will be going back to my old Dae product.

Nice value for drug store

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a good value for a drugstore product. I was afraid the smell would be too strong but it was nice. It’s a really beautiful bottle and a good amount of product. I don’t use oil much as I have thin hair but this isn’t too heavy or thick with a texture that weighs down. I like to put it on before I wash to help moisturize my hair and then sometimes wear overnight like a mask in my hair. My hair is too oily to wear it on a daily basis.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted to take my time before posting this review so that I could see how much my hair has improved over time and I am impressed with this product. My hair is so much smoother and shinier than it was before. I felt like my hair had somehow gotten so dry and dull looking and this shine oil has revived it. I am very pleased!

If your hair is wavy, frizzy, and easily weighed down by other oils, this one is for you! This works great between washes to keep my hair soft and help with brushing out tangles. The scent is nice - not my favorite, but not bad either.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] **Kristin Ess Subtle Shine Softening Oil Review** I've recently incorporated the Kristin Ess Subtle Shine Softening Oil into my haircare routine, and it has quickly become a must-have product for me. Here’s why: **Performance:** This oil delivers on its promise of adding subtle shine and softness to the hair. After just a few uses, I noticed a significant improvement in the texture of my hair. It feels smoother, softer, and looks much healthier. The shine is natural and not greasy, giving my hair a polished and vibrant appearance. **Application:** The oil is lightweight and easy to apply. A little goes a long way, which makes the product last longer. I use just a few drops on damp hair before styling, and it absorbs quickly without leaving any residue. It’s also great for taming frizz and flyaways on dry hair. **Scent:** The fragrance is light and pleasant, not overpowering. It leaves my hair smelling fresh and clean, which is a nice bonus. The scent doesn’t clash with other hair products I use, which is important for maintaining a harmonious scent profile. **Packaging:** The packaging is sleek and functional. The bottle is easy to handle, and the dropper allows for precise application, ensuring that you don’t accidentally use too much product. The design also looks great on my vanity. **Ingredients:** I appreciate that Kristin Ess products are formulated with quality ingredients. This oil is free of harmful chemicals and is cruelty-free, aligning with my preference for ethical beauty products. It’s suitable for all hair types, including color-treated hair, which adds to its versatility. **Overall Experience:** My overall experience with the Kristin Ess Subtle Shine Softening Oil has been excellent. It delivers exactly what it promises: subtle shine, softness, and improved hair manageability. It’s a great finishing touch to my haircare routine, and I love the healthy, radiant look it gives my hair. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking to add a touch of luxury and effectiveness to their haircare regimen. It’s a game-changer for achieving soft, shiny, and beautifully manageable hair.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This formula left me feeling similarly disappointed as their “lightweight” conditioner. The packaging was the only part of this softening oil that I slightly enjoyed. Same as the conditioner, this formula even after minimal application of the product completely ruined my freshly washed hair leaving major trauma signs of oil and grease. I was so frustrated that I had to then use dry shampoo and wear my hair in a bun. There are too many superior products do not waste your money here.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Honestly? I was so excited about this product bc my hair is so dry and I desperately needed a new serum. I am a super fan of Biosilk so I thought this would be similar. I. WAS. MISTAKEN!! it was so thin it felt like water. and while we feeling thin, it left my hair feeling oily. Not a fan!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The oil product didn't work well in my thin hair. My scalp and hair gets oily pretty quickly so I have to stray away from oil products. Using them makes my hair greasy and dirtier looking unfortunately.
