A find!
-05.14.13
Quick Take: lightweight, non-sticky, easy to use
I love this stuff. It makes my hair incredibly soft and silky. It looks much more sleek and shiny even if I don't dry it. It's fantastic. And it's cruelty-free, a must for me now.

Love
-04.17.13
Quick Take: lightweight, easy to use
I have never totally fallen in love with a styling product applied to my hair before I blow dry- my hair is fine but with a little curl, so often it gets weighed down. I LOVE this product. Love the smell, love how smooth my hair is, I can't say enough.

AMAZING
-03.22.13
I got a free sample of this in November for a promotion and didnt use it until a week ago. It's a miracle worker! I already have silky soft hair, but this takes it to a whole other level! I definately recommend this to EVERYONE! It's worth every penny.

I love how the product makes my hair feel but I do not like the smell. Thank goodness it doesn't last real long, unless you get caught in the rain and get your hair wet. I suffer from migraines and smells will send me into migraine quickly.

Quick Take: lightweight, smells good
This is a great product, love that it's organic and love the smell of it! It definitely smooths down your hair. I only give it 4 stars because it doesn't beat my other organic product I use called Onesta.. but still is good overall. :)

Amazing Product!
-03.06.13
This product is a miracle worker after adding shine, softness, and manageability to my recently color treated hair. It literally transformed my hair and smoothed out the texture. Wish I could show a before and after picture.

truly amazing
-02.23.13
As all of us who are seeking gorgeous hair, we probably have more products that salons do; I'm a clean product freak too! This is truly amazing and does what it says, weightless, sheer and shine. If you want some smoothness but feel that oils often leave your hair weighted, then try this. Love what it has and definitely what it DOESN'T have.

Awesome
-02.06.13
Quick Take: easy to use, lightweight, non-sticky
I found this in one of the samples I got from a previous order. It's awesome. I have colored, naturally curly hair that I hair dry and straighten every day. So this stuff really smoothes my hair and makes it feel soft unlike any other leave in. I like the smell, others say it's horrible, but I think it smells like some hair product a super professional salon would use. It's not a sweet smell but more earthy. Love it.

Great Strengthening Product!
-02.01.13
Quick Take: lightweight, non-sticky, easy to use, strengthening
A few months back I cut my hair quite short (just wanted to get rid of all the ratty, damaged ends). I've used this product nearly everyday since and my hair looks like it was cut just a week or two ago - no split ends, shiny, healthy, soft, and STRONG. I use it starting on the ends, working my way up, but not all the way to the scalp.
I seriously recommend this product for everyday use if you are looking for leave in cream that leaves your hair strong and shiny and super soft!!

Great for blow outs
-01.25.13
Quick Take: easy to use, lightweight, non-sticky
I have very fine hair that is also very frizzy and unruly. Finding a blow out cream that doesn't make my hair greasy or sticky is nearly impossible, and this stuff is fantastic! If I use a little more, I can even get my hair to curl with it. It does double duty, and I've gotten rid of half my hair products as a result.

Greasy!
-01.19.13
Quick Take: greasy heavy smells good
It did not work on my hair at all :(
I found it to be heavy and greasy and my hair looked bogged down. I gave it a few chances but it didnt win me over, had to return. Plus side, it's smelled good...but not good enough to work for me.

Wow!
-01.17.13
I bought the bamboo shine travel set just to try it and I loved it all but this was my fav! I had to buy the full size. I have frizzy wavy hair and I was skeptical that this would do anything for it... Pleasantly shocked! It didnt weigh my hair down, didnt make it feel greasy, and actually made my hair look gorgeous... Which I still can't believe because I've tried so many products and none have worked as well as this! Plus it smells amazing. Don't pass this up!

CRAZY good!!!
-01.14.13
Quick Take: a stubborn-hair must-have!
Got this stuff as a sample. I have fine, thick hair that tends to frizz and the ends are like straw from styling and coloring. Nothing seemed to work other than expensive protein pack treatments at the salon. This stuff works WONDERS! Even the ends are soft, and styling is SOOO much easier.

Amazing shine and feel
-01.14.13
Quick Take: soft, silky, shine
Got a sample of this, stretched it out as much as possible because it was amazing how great and soft my hair felt after one use! Bought a tube of it the second I had the chance to. Adore this stuff, and used it daily on my wet hair before blowing out my hair, then after as a smoother. Take a chance, it will make your hair feel so Silky!

I received a sample of this along with the shampoo and conditioner in another Sephora order and fell in love. It makes my hair shiny without making it look greasy. I love the way my hair feels and really highlights my highlights. i highly recommend.

Huge Results!
-01.04.13
I always try various salon or high end shampoos/conditioners because I have long, thick and unruly hair. I am usually satisfied, but one does not strike me as too much better than another. I tried this with the shampoo and conditioner in a sample pack while traveling. Didn't think twice, but Loved the shampoo and conditioner, and then was blown away by this shine cream! My normally tangly and giant post-shower "fro" was instantly calm and silky. Will buy full size. Without a doubt.
