Advance Techniques Damage Repair Split End Mender

I have not been kind to my hair over the years to say the least. From flat ironing, coloring to highlighting. And after awhile it really began to show. My hair was rittled with split ends. I could hear strands snap at times when I'd brush out my hair. It was frizzy & had lost it's shine.  I knew I needed to get a product to help nurture my stressed stands back to health.

I have a cabinet full of products I tried in hopes of fixing my damaged hair, but none of them were very successful in the long run. Most gave a temporary fix which was gone once the product was washed out of my hair.

Then I tried the Advance Techniques Damage Repair Split end Mender by Avon.
It comes in a 5oz bottle with a pointed nozzle similar to a bottle that comes in a hair coloring box/kit.

The product has the consistency of a watered down conditioner. And does not have an oily serum texture that most split end treatments have. Which is were the temorary fix comes in with those products. Oil smooths the cuticle and when it's washed out you have frizzy hair again. That is not the case with this product.

There is a mild subtle scent to it that smells like a combination between a sweet conditioner with a hint of a medicated scent. It does go away soon after applying it to your hair, so for those who do not like lingering scents from a product you don't have to worry about that.
To Use:Apply a small amount to damp towel dried hair & style as usual.

I dispense a a pea size or more into the palms of my hands and rub them together & then start by scrunching it into my ends & then work through out the rest of my hair. Then brush my hair with a large tooth comb to ensure even distribution.

After application my hair does not feel greasy or weighed down. I have very baby fine hair, so I'd notice right away if this was a heavy product. It just obsorbed into my dehydrated stands.

After the first use once my hair was dry I noticed it felt very soft & didn't have that dry/crisp feeling it had before due to the damage. With that alone I was happy.

As each week went by with continued use I noticed that the general condition of my hair was getting better. It felt stronger & softer.  There was a healthy shine back in my strands &  my hair was no longer snapping or breaking when I brushed it or when used heat styling on it. I could tell it was less brittle & had stretch back in it.

It has been 3 months now since I first started using the split end mender & can say it saved my hair. And I can vouch to the fact that this is not a temporary fix product & that with continued use your hair becomes more healthy.

What It Does:
Repairs up to 95% of split ends, with regular use, and helps protect against heat styling damage.
Simply apply a dab to damp or dry hair to moisturize and protect from further damage. Why It works - Ingredients:Contains Creatine - Which helps strengthen hair
Conditioners - Restores moisture to hair & help prevent future breakage
Surface Smoothers-  Smooth hair cuticle

I wouldn't have thought that something costing around $8 would have worked so well at repairing my split ends, but I am happy to say that it has & would recommendit to anyone who has damaged hair in need of major TLC. Just remember this is a "treatment" which means you should use it regularly to get the full results.
