I mix these little packets with warm water in my hands once a month for a deep reset. It dissolves that dingy buildup right off my hair and makes it feel weightless again.

I spray this all over my dry hair three minutes before jumping into the shower. It acts like a magnet for copper and calcium deposits, keeping my hair from turning brassy.
