Smell alochol

It works for my hair which is getting drier every year and hard to bush so I use it to detangle. However, I can smell alcohol very strongly so I wonder it made my hair drier.

I have my hair coloured red in a salon. I love the colour, but the red dye fades very quickly. SO, I am always on the lookout for something that will maintain my colour longer. I have been using Dessange Color Restore Top Coat Protecting Serum (after the Dessange shampoo and conditioner, which are fab) for 4 months now and I don't notice a lick of difference. My colour still fades as it always did. On the positive side, the product smells nice and it makes my hair a bit softer. All in all, not worth the cash.
