I don't have any disappointments yet! If I had to nitpick, I wish they'd come out with refills... Are there any? Well, I haven't seen any yet. Refills, please!

My hair was on the brink of total destruction from frequent coloring, but everyone around me kept recommending this, so I gave it a try. While a deep treatment would be ideal, when you're really short on time, just spraying this on before drying your hair makes it incredibly manageable. I absolutely can't recommend it enough!

It might be a humble tip, but it's really handy to transfer some into a small spray bottle from Daiso to carry around!

However, the scent might be a bit divisive. Even though I've used up a whole bottle and bought a new one, the fragrance isn't particularly pleasant. It has that distinctive salon smell. I wish it had a more refreshing scent.

I only use this mist because cream formulas are cumbersome and unfamiliar. I've finished one bottle and bought a new one - I'm very satisfied. It's great for taming frizzy hair without making it sticky. I especially recommend this for people with curly hair that's hard to manage.

It's all about the scent... I'd like to apply it generously for better effectiveness, but the fragrance is so overpowering that I end up just spraying a bit on my palm and dabbing it on the ends of my hair.

The spray-type application is convenient, but the scent is quite strong, so I can't apply too much. The fragrance is very intense. It does fade quickly, but I'm hesitant to spray it liberally.

If you use it too often, the effect diminishes, and your hair can still feel dry and tangled. It works best when alternated with other essences.

The scent is too artificial, like a strong salon smell. It's fine at first, but suddenly it becomes nauseating. Unlike other essences, it seems to lose its effectiveness with daily use.

I love hair essences, and I'm on my third bottle of this product. After using it, my hair feels incredibly soft and doesn't tangle. It's also great for preventing static electricity.

for portability, the tube essence type is actually better.

It can be slippery if it falls on the floor. When applying, hold your hair close to the ends and spray carefully to avoid getting it on your scalp.

I love how easy it is to spray without getting it on your hands. It feels soft and velvety as soon as you apply it. After using regular essences, I tried this spray type - it's convenient, but

The spray nozzle could be a bit softer, but overall the product is good.

It's great for use in dorms, and I love how the spray covers a wide area.

There's not really anything to complain about, but if I had to nitpick, I'd say it runs out quickly when you're spraying away. The amount is a bit on the small side.

It's definitely convenient since you don't have to get your hands messy - just spray and go. My hair instantly becomes softer. The spray power is great, making it easy to apply. I've been using it consistently since I first tried it.

The scent is quite polarizing at first, though you get used to it over time. The moisture in your hair doesn't seem to last as long as expected.

It's great for light use. The best advantage is that you can easily apply it without getting the product on your hands.

My hair essence routine:
Towel dry -> Apply hair oil -> Blow dry with cool air from roots -> Apply a small amount of hair oil -> Finish blow drying -> Spray essence
When applying the essence, I spray from a distance near the roots and apply 2-3 sprays on the ends, then brush through.

1) Spray mechanism
While it sprays easily with a light pull, it often comes out in clumps at first. It's best to spray on a tissue first before applying to your hair for even distribution.
2) Lasting power
If it's windy outside after application, the essence can sometimes harden and create clumps in your hair. People with thick hair may need to apply more product thoroughly for it to last. Otherwise, the inner layers can become dry and frizzy again.

1) Price
Many hair essences are quite expensive, but this one offers great value for money in terms of quantity and quality. You can use it without breaking the bank!
2) Scent
It's unscented, but if you spray a lot, there's a subtle, cozy fragrance. It reminds me of fabric softener. I love how it leaves a delicate scent in my hair.
3) Packaging
I appreciate the on/off switch at the bottom of the spray nozzle, which prevents accidental spraying.
4) Effectiveness
My hair has been bleached twice and dyed once, leaving it very dry and difficult to brush without tangling. After spraying this essence and brushing, my hair becomes smooth and easy to manage. With consistent use, I've noticed my hair becoming stronger.

For those who find regular conditioning a hassle, this is a must-have! It's faster than conditioner and leaves your hair super moisturized and incredibly soft!

Ages ago, when I first borrowed this from a friend, the scent was a subtle, natural sweetness - like flowers or peaches. Now, the fragrance has changed to smell more like a typical hair product. It's not off-putting, but it's just not as amazing as the scent I remember from before.

I used to avoid conditioner because I hated how it made my hair limp, but since discovering this, it's become my 10+/10 holy grail item... No more flat hair! At first, I wasn't sure if I'd sprayed enough, but the moment I applied it, my hair became miraculously smooth and easy to comb through. How is this even possible? The subtle floral lingering scent is lovely, and the on/off cap makes it perfect for carrying around. The price is also much more reasonable compared to those heavily advertised brands. It's just too good... Please, you must try it!

Wrapping a towel around your neck before spraying it and then drying your hair definitely helps a lot.

If it gets on your body when you spray it, it can cause pimples or acne to come up... The spray is not a fine mist, it's like a direct blast? It just whooshes out. If it gets on the floor, it gets really slippery and you have to wipe your hands thoroughly... It's so slippery.

Applying it before drying your hair and then drying it will reduce the frizziness a bit, and it definitely combs through better. I'm also satisfied with the scent - I've even had a few people ask if I just came from the salon when I sprayed it around.

The fragrance is too strong, a more subtle scent would be sufficient. 
Also, the spray nozzle feels a bit cheap - I wish it sprayed more like a fine mist.

My hair was dry and frizzy, so I bought this product and it seems to be making my hair more moisturized.

The spray could be a bit finer. Other than that, there are no other downsides.

It has a lot of moisture and the hair feels soft and smooth. This alone is perfect for the hot summer.
