I am guilty of being really mean to my hair. I color it, wrangle it into ponytails, and I use alcohol-containing styling products. But as straw-like as my hair felt, within a few days of using the Restore system it was soft, shiny, and manageable again.

After using the mask, my hair felt more resilient; less prone to breakage. That's enough to make me a devotee, but even my coarse, brittle hair was shinier and healthier-looking after using the system for a week of so. Ultra-moisturizers are too heavy, but the Restore system is lightweight and never made my hair feel limp or stringy. Just healthy. I'm sold.
