Neil George Pure Shot Intense Repair Treatment Spray

In my latest search for silky, smooth, shiny, manageable hair, I came across Neil George's Pure Shot Treatment Spray. As an Asian, I am blessed with a thick head of hair, which I have destroyed many times by religiously dying, straightening and intense blowdrying.

I found this treatment when browsing through the online shopping site strawberrynet.com as a new product. Being in Australia and away from other part of the civilisation, the only way to obtain American products is through online shopping sites.

This is the description taken from http://www.neilgeorgesalon.com/

The miracle product, our popular at-home treatment for hair damaged by chemical processing, the sun and hot tools. This five week treatment spray restores your hair from root to tip with our unique Neil George Treatment Complex. Reduces the amount of time it takes to blowdry your hair, leaving you with extra soft and silky smooth locks.

The most intense at home treatment yet from Neil George; this spray restores your hair from root to tip and is the answer for hair damaged by chemical processing, the sun and hot tools. Infused with Indian Gooseberry, Jojoba and Avocado Oil and a unique Neil George Treatment Complex, this miracle product penetrates the hair cuticle to offer deep conditioning, resulting in longer lasting benefits over several shampoos. The amount of time to blowdry your hair is reduced, leaving you with extra soft and silky, smooth hair, increased color longevity and shine, free of flyaways and less breakage.

This is my personal review of the first treatment spray that I have used so far. I first washed my hair with a normal shampoo (I used Panteen) then roughly towel dried for the treatment. I found the spray very easy to apply as it came with a spritz head. I sprayed the ends first as it is the most damaged part, then worked up along to my roots. I found the smell soothing, with a cross between a lemony-ginger smell. Waited for approximately 5 minutes then rinsed.

This is the result after the first treatment:

The photos were taken at night with my Iphone straight after the blowdry.

I did find the blowdrying time to be less as usually, my hair takes a while to dry. The next day, I found my hair to be really nice, smooth and SHINY!! My boyfriend did tell me that my hair was bright and shiny (thats amazing because he actually noticed!). There seems to be light halos when the sun hit my hair, from the reflections.

So therefore, in my opinion, I do find that the treatment does work. Now I cannot wait until I have tried all 5 of them. I will keep u guys posted...

Price: at the time (Oct 2011) I bought this from Strawberrynet, I paid AUS $65.60 but if your in America, it retails for around US $55 from Neil George's site.

Week 3 is here and the results.....I am loving it! My hair feels smooth and looks shiny and vibrant. My temporary plum dye is washing off as expected. I did do the treatment 2 days later than the designated day Thursday as I was really busy with work.

These are the pictures for weeks 4 and 5 :

Week 5

Overall, I think the treatment is most noticeable in the first treatment. After the first treatment (week 1) my hair felt more shiny and vibrant then the proceeding weeks, which might be because I was getting used to the effect.

Would I recommend this?
I would if you don't mind sending the amount on a weekly treatment. Compared with other treatments (Sebastian Cellophane treatment, Kerastase Pixelist Vial Colour treatment) I feel that this works better in achieving the result. I would buy this product again.
