my ends are extremely damaged due to constant colouring and frequent blow drying as well as the daily straightening of my bangs, and while obviously, an oil won't heal the broken/split ends, it makes my hair incredibly smooth. now that I've used up my first bottle and have to wait a while for my next order to arrive, I can practically feel my hair screaming from being so thirsty for this oil :( it has a nice scent, almost like a perfume, pretty strong at first and it lingers after blow drying and makes you feel like your hair is extremely clean! if you wash your (long) hair every two days or so, one bottle lasts for ~2 months. my hair dressers only apply oils on my ends, but if your hair is as horribly dry as mine, I recommend carefully smearing some not only on your ends but on the whole length (except your scalp, obviously), because it will make your hair very smooth, soft and nice smelling :) smear a coin size amount in your palms and lightly brush them over your strands and there should be no problem with the amount! don't forget to apply it on your ends after blow drying either, it will get absorbed very quickly and won't stain your clothes at all!
