ULTIMATE SMOOTH vs. ULTIMATE REPAIR: Which is Right For Me?
Those dealing with unruly hair often ask us whether they need ULTIMATE SMOOTH or ULTIMATE REPAIR, and the truth is, we actually recommend both to tackle the root cause of frizz. ULTIMATE SMOOTH is going to give you that instant silky smoothness, while ULTIMATE REPAIR is going to fix the damage that may have caused frizz in the first place.
The best way to combine the two regimens is by washing and conditioning with ULTIMATE SMOOTH, then applying ULTIMATE REPAIR Miracle Hair Rescue as a leave-in treatment to towel-dried hair. Next, apply ULTIMATE SMOOTH Miracle Oil Serum and/or Silky Milk over the top, focused on the mid-lengths and ends. By combining these 'miracles', get deep damage repair and frizz control in two simple steps.
