This Not That: Ouai In-Shower Hair Gloss

I feel like I have personally duped every product Ouai owns at this point. Their stuff is genuinely good, the packaging is gorgeous, the scent is classic Ouai — but the price? Always a little too much for what you actually get. If you have color-treated hair that starts looking dull and brassy two weeks after your salon appointment, or your natural hair just looks flat and lifeless and you cannot figure out why your shine has disappeared, a hair gloss is the answer. It boosts shine, refreshes color, smooths frizz, and makes your hair look like you just walked out of the salon — all in the shower. The Ouai In-Shower Hair Gloss is the one everyone raves about, but at $34 for a hair gloss you rinse off, I was not convinced it needed to be that expensive. Enter the Kristin Ess Signature Hair Gloss. It gives me that same glossy, smooth, super shiny finish, my hair feels softer, and the color stays looking richer between salon visits. It is a fraction of the price and honestly works just as well. If you love the Ouai gloss but cannot keep justifying the cost, this is such an easy swap.
