Once upon a time, in the small town of Willowbrook, lived a young boy named Harry Pattern. Harry was known for his wild imagination and his love for all things magical. He would spend hours daydreaming about fantastical creatures and enchanted worlds. One day, while exploring the attic of his grandfather's house, Harry stumbled upon an old wooden box. Curiosity got the better of him, and he opened the box to find a shimmering golden pen. Intrigued by its beauty, he picked it up and noticed a small inscription on the side that read, "The Magic Pen.

Intrigued by its beauty, he picked it up and noticed a small inscription on the side that read, "The Magic Pen." Without a second thought, Harry took the pen and began to doodle on a piece of paper. To his amazement, as he drew, the images on the paper came to life.

A product that conditions and styles in one-step? Sounds great to me! Simply Smooth's new Xtend Keratin Reparative Magic Lotion is a dual-usage product designed to act as a light styling cream and a leave-in conditioner.
Xtend is infused with keratin. Hair products with keratin are a must for my highlighted hair! Simply Smooths Xtend claims to both extend the life of a keratin treatment as well as provide detangling benefits, smooth out the hair, provide frizz control, and to boost shine.
On any given day, I use a "cocktail" of about 3-4 hair products after shampooing and conditioning to detangle, strengthen my hair, protect it from heat damage, to style, and to add shine. I mean, really, how much would I love it if ONE product could do it all! It would save time and energy (not to mention money) to have an all-in-one product. So, I am thrilled to test out Simply Smooth's Xtend Magic Potion!
My Hair Background:
My hair is very long and heavily highlighted. While the highlights are beautiful, they really dry out and damage my hair. Salon chemical processes (like coloring or highlighting) strip hair of protein and cause damage. This damage can be combated by using good keratin/protein products. Products containing keratin/protein can strengthen the hair and prevent the breakage that often results from chemical damage. My hair is thick. But, it is also fine. So, I like hair treatments, conditioners, and styling products that provide protection and moisture without weighing hair down.
While protein and Keratin treamtents are nice (I do one every 6-8 weeks), they take a lot of time and effort. It is nice to have daily use products that are infused with keratin to use in-between deep hair protein treatments (much like how the use of a daily tanning lotion can extend the life of your fake tan).
So, I am very excited that BeautyStat.com send me a sample of Simply Smooth's Xtend Kertatin Reparative Magic Lotion to test out! How do I like it? Keep reading to find out!
Simply Smooth's Xtend Keratin Reparative Magic Lotion:
Yes, an all-in-one product sure does sound "magic", right? LOL! But, seriously, this product is designed to act as a styling cream and a leave-in conditioner. It smooths, protects, detangles, and adds shine. It does all of that plus it contains Keratin which is repairative for damaged hair. No this is not a Keratin treatment, but this product is great for extending the life of your Keratin/deep protein treatments.
- Simply Smooth Xtend Keratin Reparative Magic Lotion retails for approximately $25-$30 for a 4.25 fl oz bottle.
- The Scent: Wow! This product seriously smells so good! The scent, to me, smells of cocoa butter and something tropical. Pineapple maybe? I find that the lovely scent lingers in my hair and leaves it smelling very fresh and nice.
- Application: The product comes in a spray bottle that makes application super easy! After shampooing and conditioning, just spray the product into your wet hair and comb to distribute. It detangles beautifully! Just style as usual. That is it! So quick and easy.
- Amount to use: I spray about 8-10 sprays into my hair concentrating on the length and ends. Adjust the amount depending on your own hair's texture, length, and thickness.
- Detangling? My hair combed out effortlessly. I felt that the product distributed itself well.
- Moisture? This product prevented my ends from feeling "dry".
- Protection? I felt like this hair provided a barrier from future damage from blow drying. Actually, I feel that the heat from the blow drier helps the keratin to penetrate. I can't really know this for sure. But, I know that the use of heat combined with protein products generally helps increase penetration.
- Shine? Yes, my hair was left shiny and smooth. No frizz either! Now, my hair was not quite as shiny as when I use a shine spray or a serum. But, it still had shine. It is always easy to add a shine spray or serum after your hair is dry if you want to give your hair an extra boost of shine. But, you might not need it!
- Did it weigh my hair down? Nope! My hair styled well and had body and bounce. The product did not leave behind a greasy feel.

A smile crept across his face as he realized the extraordinary power that lay in his hands. From that moment on, Harry used the magic pen to create his own magical world. He drew castles floating in the sky, friendly talking animals, and even a flying carpet to explore the skies. The possibilities were endless, and Harry's imagination soared. With the magic pen, Harry could bring happiness to anyone he encountered. He would draw pictures for his friends, showcasing their dreams and desires. He became the town's beloved artist, using his gift to bring joy and wonder to all who crossed his path. But as Harry's power grew, so did the responsibilities and challenges that came with it. He soon discovered that the pen had a mind of its own. It would sometimes create mischief, leading to unexpected consequences. Harry had to learn to control its powers, harnessing the magic for good rather than letting it run wild. As Harry grew older, he realized that the true magic was not in the pen itself, but in his ability to bring joy to others through his art. He discovered that his drawings had an impact far beyond what he initially imagined. The magic pen became a symbol of his creativity and a reminder of the power within him. Harry Pattern and the Magic Pen became a legend in Willowbrook, inspiring generations to embrace their imagination and explore the magic within themselves. To this day, children in the town dream of finding their own magic pen, hoping to create their own enchanted worlds. In the end, Harry Pattern taught everyone that true magic lies within us all - in our ability to dream, create, and bring joy to others. The magic pen was just a tool, but it was Harry's heart and imagination that made it truly extraordinary..
Reviews for "The Battle Within: Harry Pattern's Struggles with the Magic Pen's Dark Side"
- Sarah - 2/5 - I was really disappointed with "Harry pattern and the magic pen". The storyline felt incredibly rushed and underdeveloped, with many plot holes that were never addressed. The characters lacked depth and there was a lack of character development throughout the book. The writing style was also quite simplistic, which made it difficult to fully immerse myself in the story. Overall, I found the book to be lacking in substance and would not recommend it.
- David - 1/5 - I struggled to make it through "Harry pattern and the magic pen". The writing was clunky and repetitive, making it a chore to read. The plot was predictable and cliché, with no originality or surprises. The dialogue was poorly written and unrealistic, with characters speaking in a way that no one actually does in real life. I was hoping for an engaging and original story, but unfortunately, this book fell short of my expectations.
- Emily - 2/5 - "Harry pattern and the magic pen" felt like a cheap imitation of other popular fantasy books. The world-building was poorly executed, and I found it difficult to fully understand the magical elements of the story. The pacing was off, with long periods of nothing happening followed by rushed and confusing action sequences. The main character, Harry, was also quite unlikable and lacked any depth or complexity. Overall, I was left feeling unimpressed and disengaged with this book.
