## Description

Repairs and protect hair bonds A pre-shampoo, hair bond repair serum with our Patent Pending combination of Maleic Acid, Transglutaminase & Amino Acids that strengthens & repairs damaged hair & helps maintaining the natural texture. Formulated with Argan Oil, Squalane & Coconut Oil to nourish hair from the inside out and make them soft and healthy. How to Use Strictly avoid using it on the scalp. Take 4-5 ml (for mid to long-length hair) & spread evenly on dry & combed lengths. Leave it only for 1 hour. Wash it off in an hour with a mild shampoo. Avoid using it overnight. Use once or twice every week. Remember, it’s not a leave-on or oil treatment & must be followed by a shampoo. Use in moderation for healthy & nourished hair.

Review: It really repairs hair - I have used this 5 times so far. From first use itself, my hair became healthier, fuller, softer, less hairfall. It has also saved me from the hassel of oiling my hair which while good for hair health, used to result in a lot of hairfall during washes. I can't believe how quickly my hair is getting healthier and stronger. It does smell bad, but it means that it at least doesn't have toxic fragrance. I will continue to use this. Thank you minimalist and desertcart! P.S. This is to be applied only to your hair length, not roots, keep for an hour and then to be washed off.
Review: It has a strong odour (smell) - I am still using it, awaiting results. I use it before hair wash only to roots as leave in as it has strong smell.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It has a strong odour (smell)
*by N***L on 22 April 2024*

I am still using it, awaiting results. I use it before hair wash only to roots as leave in as it has strong smell.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the best pre wash serum for frizzy hair.
*by S***T on 18 August 2025*

I have got the worst frizzy hair in the world and whenever I use this serum before washing my hair. My hair feels smooth soft and frizz free after hair wash. But when I skip this I can feel the frizz so I can clearly see the difference using this serum Vs not using
