Sell-out (but for silky hair, wouldn't you?)

For the past few years, I've heard people praising a singular hair product. There were tales of how hard it is to obtain, how expensive, and how you must use Just A Single Drop to make your hair absolutely fabulous.

Yesterday, I gave in and tried a sample Mother brought back from her new hairdresser's.

Farouk Systems' Biosilk Silk Therapy Serum is, indeed, magic.

The amount of oil that covered the tip of my index finger when I poured it was enough to make my hair a waterfall of silk. For the record, my hair is waistlong, thick and very fine, wavy to the point of rebeliousness, 6 months without a trim, and recently dyed with a commercial non-permanent colour. Just making it fall down without major frizz usually requires heavy-duty conditioner, mousse and hair wax. With just the tiny bit of serum, it's now down, still wavy, and utterly controlled.

I think I have a new addiction.
