Great product for Curly Hair! - 11.21.09
Quick Take: lightweight, non-sticky, easy to use, does not dull hair

I've used many styling products for naturally curly hair, but none have lived up to the expectations as the Phyto Relaxing Balm. The best part is I can apply on wet or dry hair and the product defines my curls without leaving a heavy residue or dulling the shine. Another plus is that after applying to wet hair, I do not have to use a difusser to dry my hair. (I don't have time) A regular blow-dry and I'm good to go!
Thank you Phyto for making such a great product for us curly-haired types.

The BEST! - 11.21.09
Quick Take: lightweight, non-sticky, easy to use

I've tried other balms, serums, etc. and nothing, absolutely nothing can compare to this product. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get the large size...hope it comes back. The sheen it leaves is incredible and it is soft soft and sexy.

I like it! - 11.12.09
Quick Take: lightweight, non-sticky, easy to use

I bought this product as part of my "going green" hair/body makeover and so far, so good - it is fresh and simple and thus far, my hair feels softer and less unruly. You only need a teeny tiny dab so one tube should last ages and ages. Doesn't feel sticky or greasy and doesn't weigh your hair down in the slightest. :-)

obsessed. - 11.05.09
Quick Take: lightweight, non-sticky, easy to use

oh my word. i hesitated for weeks about buying this because, well, i'm in college, and i should buy food instead. i will happily live on macaroni and cheese in exchange for the way my hair feels right now.

it is so soft, so smooth, and so shiny! i have A LOT of hair, and i only need a pea-sized dab or two, so it's going to last forever, which makes it completely worth the price. after a few weeks of daily use i felt a little bit of buildup, but nothing that a little extra shampoo couldn't tackle.

i'm in love.

It's amazing!! I have very dry curly hair and whenever I would flat iron my hair it looked horribly damaged. My hair feels super soft and it looks healthy. I'm so glad I bought this!

This works really well on my thinnish, frizzy hair. Keeps my hair soft and frizz free and does not weigh down my hair or make it greasy. Have been using it for a long time!

Best. Stuff. Ever. - 10.29.09
Quick Take: lightweight, non-sticky, easy to use

I love this stuff and my hair regimen wouldn't be complete without it! I use it as a sort of leave-in on my towel-dried hair before I blow dry and flat iron. It helps make my hair so soft and straight. I love it! Definitely notice the difference in my hair when I don't use it, which is why I ALWAYS keep a back-up now!

Quick Take: lightweight

staff told me this was great, wanting to believe them I put more and more on with still very little result. I feltt as if I had put a drop on when I was putting handfuls and handfuls, and my hair was still fluffy. way overpriced and rated.

This is worth every penny. I have very course, color treated hair that I straighten every day. It takes the frizziness away and makes my hair easier to straighten

Still Frizzy - 10.10.09
Quick Take: lightweight, non-sticky, easy to use

Never having much luck with Phyto products I bought this one on the advice of my daughter who really has had a lot of luck with it. I like the way the product absorbs into the hair without leaving sticky, oily or a stiff feeling on my hair but I still have frizz. There are a couple other products out there that actually work a lot better for me.

I really love this product, I put it on and let my hair air dry and it comes out sleek and shiny. I also blow it out and it takes all the waves and curl out of my hair when I want the straight look.

LOVE - 10.06.09
Quick Take: lightweight, non-sticky, easy to use, soft, great for frizz, manageable hair

This product is amazing. I have really thick, frizzy, and curly hair and when I apply it before blowdrying/ironing, my hair is super soft and straight and it doesnt frizz up of get poofy. I have a short bob cut so its important that my hair isnt poofy since its already thick, and this just makes my hair look naturally straight. The only problem I'd say it that I can't keep my hair straight for long because after a day or two, my hair starts looking greasy from the product, but nothing a dry shampoo cant fix! I don't even need to use that much product to get the effect.

Excellent product all across the board. Great if you use a flat iron; equally so if you just leave it natural. I loved it.
