I tried this oil instead of the Wella oil reflections light, since it claims to be for repairing damaged hair (while the Wella one is for shine and softness). Its texture is so fluid that it resembles white cooking oil... I'll skip that part. I applied it to my hair, just like that (it was quite liquid) and it was wet at the ends... it didn't even smooth them out... I've never seen this with a hair oil before... I should note that I have fine hair but damaged ends from dyeing, so it definitely doesn't work for thick hair since it doesn't leave any feeling of softness. It's like dry oil.
