Herbal Essences Long Term Relationship Split End Protector: First of all , it smells great. Like freshly-rained-on gardenias and roses with a tinge of Big Red bubble gum( I'm talkin' cinnamon to ya baby). Second of all, It DOES THE JOB. No matter what I do, how much I deep condition , or what I put on my hair ( except for my orange-infused oil) my ends are always crackly , dry, and crunchy.

Can I get an amen?

But if I put this on my ends after spraying with a little bit of plain water( to aid in absorption) my ends are silky smooth and soft. And OMG! It works so much better with shea butter.
