I would not recommend oil for your type of hair. Try a volumizing treatment instead.

I have pretty fine hair and this gives me great body! I notice a difference when I don't use it, my hair just looks flat. I hope if you try it you love it as much as I do!

It does not weigh hair down at all. I apply after towel drying and before flat ironing and there is no greasiness, build up, or oiliness. I live in a humid climate and this oil helps enormously. I have never raved about or rated a product as highly as this and I am a hair product junky who has tried every oil, shine serum, and treatment out there. I will continue to purchase this oil.

I have thick hair & found it a bit heavy. I would try Argan Oil or Morrocan Oil for fine hair unless you just used it on the ends & the mute trace left on your hands for the rest. Or maybe as a treatment but not leave-in styling aid.

I have dry, fine, thin, curly hair but it's long. I thought it would weigh down my hair and make it look oily, but it doesn't in the least. I use about 5 drops, rub my hands together, flip my hair over (so it's upside down) I use most of the oil on the part that is hanging down and the rest on the back of my scalp and then run my hands through the front of my hair. It makes my hair soft, shiny and gets rid of the frizz. I know it's kind if pricey but it is worth every penny. Besides if you don't like it just take/send it back. Sephora has an awesome refund policy.

I bought the spray bottle version which seems to be lighter for a leave in.

This product is fine when used as a treatment, but on fine hair (at least on mine) it did feel "heavy" even though I only applied it to the ends.

no, it's very lightweight on your hair, i have fine hair as well and it's great!

This is good for curly hair...

maybe just use it on the ends of your hair instead of the root, this way it won't weigh it down. i would give it a try tho, It is a very light oil, i have used many oils such as CHI silk infusion, biosilk, and moroccan oil, and this is definitely the lightest one i have tried, in my opinion. My hair isn't exactly coarse and it tends to get greasy fast and this oil works just fine with it. i would play around with it and see what works best, try applying it when your hair is damp one day, and style. Or you could also try to just add a little bit to your ends when it is dry and see which works best for you. I was defintely impressed with this oil tho, i love it .

I have fine, fairly straight hair that has some natural wave when encouraged...this oil gives me body and a little wave encouragement. I don't know if that helps you with curlier hair, but it makes mine more wavy than it is on it's own.

This will be perfect for you. My hair is similar. I use this every shampoo. It is like a repairing shine product. It makes your hair really silky and shiny.

I do there are days when I don't want to go with the hassle of ironing my hair. SO i do just that.

It does not weigh hair down at all. I apply after towel drying and before flat ironing and there is no greasiness, build up, or oiliness. I live in a humid climate and this oil helps enormously. I have never raved about or rated a product as highly as this and I am a hair product junky who has tried every oil, shine serum, and treatment out there. I will continue to purchase this oil.

I have the same type of hair & used it on my wet hair then blew it out & ironed it & it was a beautiful blow out that almost didn't need the iron, so it cut back on the heat I had to use. However, use most at the ends & just whats left on our hands on the rest of your hair because it is heavier than the Argan or Morrocan Oil but I really liked it & on my wet curly air-dried hair it made for a no-frizz day. With hair like ours it works but I wouldn't do it if I had fine or thin hair.

I add a dropperful to my damp hair and just let it air dry. My hair dries frizz free and has a nice shine. I have fine wavy hair and it works great.

I have thin, dry, curly hair but I don't think hair type matters, this is just an awesome product. Sometimes I just wash my hair and put the serum in and let my hair air dry. It looks the same as when I use my styling products so I have actually stopped using most of them. If you have split ends, like I do, just rub a little extra on the last few inches of your hair. I say try it, if you don't like it Sephora has a great return policy.

The product is not pure oil, it has silicones in it. I'm not sure if it will work for what you want to do. I have thick curly hair as well, and I need a bit more moisture if I'm putting it on wet hair.

Yes, Just use in moderation start with half a drop and move up to 1 drop or more see how much more you hair needs.

definitely! i use it on my damp hair and leave it in all day and my hair is not frizzy and wonderfully soft!

It has a nice scent, but nothing strong. I don't notice any smell later in the day, I use a little each morning on damp hair.

a very light and clean almost floral scent.
in other words if it were a perfume i would buy it!

Mild, light, clean fragrance. Reminds me of Marc Jacobs perfume, but much lighter. Fragrance will not over power in any way. Highly recommend.

The product is scented, but it is not an overwhelming smell. It smells light and fresh, and not something that's full of chemicals.

It has a very light, fresh smell that I can't really describe other than fresh & natural smelling. Not a real floral smell but a tiny hint of one. Either way, I am really sensitive to scents & this is perfect, barely there out of a tropical outdoor shower smell.

It has a light flowery scent. Not overwhelming at all. Actually it's quite pleasant smelling.

Very light pleaseing smell, not fruity, nutty, or floral. Can't put my inger on it but it is pleasant.

It has a light fragrance that fades really quickly after you apply it.

I really have not noticed any scent to it. If there is one, it is super light.

i haven't really noticed any scent in it.

You can apply it to wet or dry hair- I prefer applying it to wet hair. You can apply to just the tips if you want, but it's supposed to be evenly distributed throughout your hair (don't put it on the hair near your scalp because that part will get natural hair oil quickly anyway and you don't want to double the grease up there) . I have really thick hair, so I usually use a little more than a quarter sized amount of oil, I put it in my hair and then comb my hair so that it's distributed, then I blow dry or air dry.

I've been applying this oil on towel-dried hair, before I blow dry. Then, after my hair is dry, I'll put a little more oil on the ends if they still look a little dry/frizzy. Most days I don't have to do that, though.

I use it mostly on wet hair, before drying, and just on my ends. A little goes a long way! I have used just a little bit after drying once in a while to smooth the ends a little more.

I apply after towel dry
and if I start with dry hair I just rub a little into my hands and run it through my hair ... especially at my dry ends
it absorbs well and is not heavy or greasy
love it

I have over processed bleached hair and I apply more at the ends, but I do apply it all over. I apply it mostly while it is still damp, but on extra dry days I will put it on my dried locks too. My hair is so damaged though that my hair seems to absorb any oil I put on it. As far as oils go tho, this one is the least greasy that I have tried and makes my hair so much softer.

you can use it as a post shampoo serum to damp hair all over (or just ends) or you can use it as a deep conditioning oil treatment a couple times a week before washing your hair. I do both. Sometimes I comb it through my hair before I shower and hit it with a blow dryer for the hot-oil treatment effect. I love it

I use about a dime to nickel size amount all over my hair from root to tips when it is damp. Depending on the condition of your hair you could use it when your hair is still wet or when it is completely dry. My hair is long, fine, oily, and color treated very blonde. Hope this helps!

I think it's best applied to damp hair because it's an oil and it needs to be distributed evenly. Just a drop or two spread across your palms and applied wherever you need it and then combed through should do the trick.

I use a dime-sized amount on my towel-dried hair (which is about three inches below my shoulders) after shampooing. I avoid my scalp but work it in all the way to the ends. If I need to, I add a bit more. I use shampoo and conditioner first, and this product every other shampoo or so. My hair is chemically treated and somewhat dry.

I use a fair amount of product on dry hair and make sure it covers all of my hair. I then leave it in over night and wash it out in the morning.

Bamboo... and it will protect as well as repair. True story.

Your hair will improve you can use it as a hair treatment I personally love this product it restores you shine to your hair

I like both the Pequi Oil (especially the smell :) ) and the Kendi Oil, but I'm choosing the Kendi Oil for personal hair reasons (but they're both great depending on what you want).

They both made my hair softer, smoother, and have improved the health of my hair without causing any breakout on my skin and without weighing my hair down or making it look greasy (and I only wash my hair every 2-3 days).

The reason I choose the Kendi Oil is because I noticed the Pequi Oil made my hair so soft that is was kind of fluffy (hard to explain lol ) . Since my hair is really thick, it looked like I had a little static going on in my hair. So, it wasn't doing anything bad, but the Kendi Oil seems to react better to my super thick hair. I like the smell of the Pequi better because it's coconutty and subtle. The Kendi Oil smells like strong perfume and it's not subtle.

I think the Kendi is supposed to also protect your hair from environmental damage, and help repair it and make it healthy. I don't think it protects from heat damage though, but I could be wrong.

I haven't tried many
this came as a sample and it works
my hair is noticeably helathier, less dry
and shinier
I bought the bottle
it works as an all kind of moisturizer
I put it on my skin as well

I have tried both the pequi oil and the alterna kendi oil and I prefer the kendi oil for my bleached hair. i don't need to use as much and it works much better. No greasy feel and leaves my hair much softer.

I can't answer about the other oils but can say that Kendi Oil will improve your hair.

I have damaged hair (read my review for story) and this has helped my hair tremendously. In fact, I'd even go as far as saying that this is the #1 product that has helped my hair the most.

I have long, fine hair and both Argan oil and Kendi oil work really well.

I personally have tried:
*Josie Maran Argan Oil,~ great for elbows etc.. hair umm not so much.

*Couture Colour Pequi Oil Treatment ~not bad better than Argan, but not as wonderful as ALTERNA Bamboo Kendi Oil .

*Oscar Blandi Jasmine Oil ~ is prob my runner up serum, but still not close to Kendi Oil. I ahve used it for about a month and LOVE it

Alterna Bamboo Smooth Kendi Oil Pure Treatment Oil is ine of the best products I've tried. The condition of my hair has improved and the oil keeps it protected from heat stylers.

I use it as a heat protectant, and it has worked well....worked better than my CHI products for my chemically treated, fine hair.

The oil itself is not idyllic for "heat"... But they make a heat protectant that has the oil in it that is specifically designed for protecting your hair when using heat to style. It comes in a bigger bottle and has a spray dispenser. I have both the dropper and the spray and I love them both! Split ends be gone!

Yes, works great as a heat protectant...

I've been using it as one for about two weeks now, and so far so good.

It's not going to help protect your hair from heat, but it will help repair it and make it more healthy from damage.

I would say yes
blow drying dries my dry hair out more
this stuff adds moisture

I put it one when my hairs dampish not freshly out of the shower wet. Like before you start styling or even brush and before any other products. After you smooth some through your hair then brush through (if you have straight hair) other wise just loosely finger comb it through your waves/curls.

I use immediately after washing my hair with the Bamboo shampoo and conditioner, while my hair is still wet.

Yes, just put it on wet hair after getting out of the shower. I sometimes put a little on my ends when it's dry, too.

Put a bit on damp hair, then when its dry put a little bit more on.
My hairs is chemically damaged. (Bleach)

IT SHOULD BE USED ON MOSTLY DRY HAIR. I BLOW DRY FOR A FEW MINUTES BEFORE APPLYING. I THEN PROCEED TO DRY AND STRAIGHTEN HAIR.

You can use the Kendi Oil on damp and/or dry hair. I use a nickel size amount on my damp hair avoiding the roots and maybe an inch of hair closest to my scalp and then blow dry. If you want to use a tiny bit more before you flat iron or just as "insurance" before you leave home you can do that too.

Argan oil s*cks, that a dry oil and does not really combat curly or wavy frizzles. I have tried them all! You will usually have to load your hair with Argan oil (even the pure kind). Argan oil is more for like a top coat smooth/sheen look, but to deal with actual frizz I stay away from it. I really love this Bamboo serum, for my thick wavy hair. I have been a loyal John Frieda Frizz-ease user for years, but this is 10x better.

i beleive this is better than argan oil. no build up and a fresh scent too. i too have coarse hair. love this product.

I have used the Argan Oil by Josie Maran and it doesn't work as well for my hair. I know the Josie brand is more natural but it didn't smooth or make my hair as shiney. My hair is very dry though, so try both for yourself and see what you like better. For me, Kendi Oil cuts my hairstyling time in half and that in itself makes it best for me.

Bamboo smooth Kendi Oil worked better than Argan oil for me.

I've tried Morrocain Oil and this is 100 times better. Combats frizz immediately.

I actually alternate the two oils... I have the argan oil from Josie Maran... and the bamboo kendi oils... The heat protectant and the dropper of oil... I think it is good to have two products that do the same or similar effect and change it up. I also have two sets of shampoos and conditioners... To keep my hair on its toes. So to speak.

Like any other hair serum you have to use it consistently, but I don't use it everyday. I did notice more vitality and softness after like a week without the serum on. It's totally worth it because half a dime size amount covers all my hair, I have thick wavy hair thats just past my armpits =)

Although I get some lasting effects from the Bamboo Smooth Kendi Oil, I do have to use it each time I shampoo.

Myself and my hair dresser have noticed a considerable difference in the healthiness of my chemically treated hair. Worth every penny, IMO...and I am pretty cheap.. lol

It's full of silicones and they temporarily give your hair that feeling.

Personally, with any hair product I have ever used... If you like the results that you get from the product you are using it is something that has to become apart of your regular hair regimen. But don't be afraid to branch out to other products that advertise the same features... Because you might find something that fits your hair better or demonstrates what a great product you have already found.

I noticed I am not as bright, but I don't mind it so much as it's really good for my hair.

Thats probably from the "Polysilicone-15" in it, its like a sunscreen for your hair so the hair isn't absorbing as much rays to keep your blonde hair more beige then golden. It also might just be the undertone of your natural hair coming through.

No, I haven't noticed that, but then again I use a purple shampoo to combat brassiness and the goldening effects

I haven't noticed that happening to my hair highlights- sometimes sun exposure can cause that though.
