Redken Diamond Oil

[Etna]

I purchased this.

I cannot say enough good things about it. Honestly. I have the intense version and have had a week of good hair days.

A friend purchased it on my recommendation and she likes it a lot also.

It doesn't make my hair look greasy like every other oil I have tried.

If this is ever discontinued I will probably cry.

It still costs way too much considering the ingredients, but I won't buy it in a store next time. That was stupid of me but it was so intriguing.

Eta: The dropper in the bottle is not very good. It would be better to be cheaper in a simple bottle with a normal dropper.

Thx for your review Etna- sounds great. Im really tempted to buy it!

Samples of this are available on ebay for $5.

I'm sure it works beautifully and the bottle looks nice. But I've just looked at the list of ingredients and the only oils in it are:
- sunflower oil
- olive oil
- jojoba oil
- coconut oil
- camelina sativa oil
- coriander oil
- apricot kernel oil
- tocopherol (vitamin e)

I don't like any other ingredients listed (preservatives, perfume). The list of ingredients really reminds me of a very expensive nail & cuticle oil I used before doing research and buying my carrier and essential oils. I think I can easily make my own blend out of these oils, avoiding the bad stuff and for a fraction of the price.

Let us know how you go meteor. I can't get results like this with any of those oils on their own. I have tried most of them too and preferred coconut oil over the rest, but it tended to make my hair stringy quickly, so I suspect my success with the diamond oil must be something to do with the ratios/combination. Like everything else, others may not have the same success and for an expensive purchase like this that is something to keep in mind.

Any updates?

I am very intrigued by this thread. We sell this oil in the salon where I just started working. I get 50% off so it may or may not be my first purchase there. We sell it regularly for $40.

I can't wait to try it. I love the Pureology Precious Oil Serum and imagine the Redken will be similar.
I am going to order the Redken next month (if I can wait that long) and will post result.

Anyone else tried it lately?

[Marika]

I'd like to try this! I have a deluxe sample of Pureology's Precious Oil Serum and like Erin, I also think this would be similar. My shopping list just keeps on growing..

[ErinLeigh]

Mine too. I need to stay off the internet as it is getting expensive seeing all these products.

Do you like the Pureology? I have a ton of oils for general hair treatments but for styling I like the professional blends. The Pureology is lighter and makes my hair shiner somehow. So for styling I use that and panacea. I wonder why the blends seems to add more shine? I had to check the ingredients like 9 times to prove there were no silicones. Maybe its just me applying it differently or something but it is different in a way I cannont describe.
