My fine and fluffy curly hair was in need of a helping
hand. I was keen to try the ALTERNA Moisture Intensive Ceramide Shots (£52.10) as I have found Alterna’s
products to be good.
What
are they?
“A potent dose of nourishing ceramides within a single-dose
biodegradable capsule,” says Alterna.
As well as providing a boost of hydration, the company also
claims these shots reduce frizz and breakage.

Positives
Lightweight, not oily.
Made my hair smoother and helped to tame frizz.
Versatile. You can use this serum on dry or damp hair or
mix it in with your conditioner or hair mask. I tried all three ways. I also
used the Caviar Replenishing Moisture
Leave-In Conditioning Milk (£35) before applying the serum. Subtle scent.
Convenient for travelling.
Helps to protect hair from heat.
Not so
positive
Expensive. The jar contains 25 capsules. You may need to
use two if you have long hair. However, using one weekly makes it affordable.
The products contain silicones. However, they do help
smooth the hair. If you are concerned about build-up, you can limit your use.
