After I got out of the shower and squeezed as much water from my hair as possible, next up was the leave-in Mizani 25 Miracle Cream ($22).
The cream is a primer and heat protectant, especially good for colour-treated hair (like mine). I was extra careful to not add too much as the instructions say to apply a nickel- to quarter-size amount and, let's just say, my natural inclination is more like a half-dollar . . . or two.
This felt lightweight (yet not at all watery) between my fingers, and I was able to spread it evenly throughout my hair. It does have a pretty strong smell when it first comes out of the tube — I personally liked it, but it's far from fragrance-free if that's a concern of yours.
