Our Take
The finishing step in Mielle's Kalahari Melon & Aloe Vera Deep Hydration range — a few drops warmed between palms and pressed through fully styled hair add a brilliant shine and seal the cuticle without the greasy residue that heavier finishing oils often leave. Protein-free and lightweight enough to work on fine hair that normally rejects oils at the styling stage. Can also be used between washes on dry hair to smooth frizz and add shine to second or third-day curls without disturbing the cast. Start with two to three drops; it concentrates well and a small amount covers more than you'd expect.
