Products:
- Ouidad Omega-3 Replenishing Hair Treatment (discontinued) – The blend of fatty and amino acids, like flax seed oil and acai pulp, are going to work to restore the lipid barrier, the layer that keeps your hair shaft in tact, making it responsible for how your hair stretches without loosing shape or breaking, also known as elasticity.

This treatment also has dead sea mud, which has a rich mineral content that restores pH balance and can help stop shedding from the root caused by lack of oxygen to the to blood vessels in the follicles.

What can I use to get my ends smooth? I’ve been natural for over a year. Finally straightened my hair using a flat iron but my ends are still frizzy. What can I use to make it smooth like the rest of the hair? Thanks in advance.
