Sleek and shiny hair!
-05.14.13
I got a mini of this as one of my free samples and really liked it. I was thrilled to find out how affordable it is.
The to go size goes a long way... I have long, thick curly hair and only use about the size of a quarter worth of it each time.
Combined with Frizz-ease gel it keeps my hair shiny, curly, and very low frizz.

Life Changer!
-05.07.13
Got this as a freebie and was tossed aside as I wasn't really looking to add anything to my hair routine. I have wavy, frizzy, and uneventful hair. With a lot of dry ends and breakage. I found this recently in my bathroom and decided to give it a go because I'm on my last few drops of Moroccan Oil (which wasn't doing much, honestly). But it changed the life in my hair completely! I won't be going back to any other oil! It was such a pleasant surprise and I wish I had tried it when I first got it. My hair is still wavy, but so much calmer and easier to brush/style. It flows and shines! My boyfriend even complimented on how soft my hair was a few days after I first used this (he's usually faithful to the broad "you look nice today" compliments). As much as I'd like to think it was already soft before, I have to admit that this balm has done wonders for my hair. It's never felt and looked so healthy and fantastic (for real, hop on this stuff).

Beats Out the Best....
-02.24.13
Quick Take: lightweight, creamy, straightens, adds softness
I've, up until this point, used Bumble and Bumble's Straightening Conditioner AND balm, and I gotta say...this beats out that line (I know that line has a cult following, so don't be upset, I'm a big fan myself, but gotta be honest). While B&B's line does a great job straightening, it can leave my hair a bit dull looking, with some frizz still to it. THIS product straightens BEAUTIFULLY, while adding a softness and shine that I've not experienced with other straightening products. It leaves it..how do I say it..."un-fluffy"...that texture your hair gets when it's really fighting frizziness and dullness. This item wipes all of that out.
Usually, after I blow my hair straight with a paddle brush, I still have to use a straightener on it to "tame" it, resulting in creating more damage. This product eliminates the need for that, in my case at least. I don't have to go NEAR my straightener.
Great find!

Quick Take: easy to use
I saw this in youtube video. One of my favorite Guru's raved sbout this. I tried it out for two weaks. Sadly I did not like it. My hair felt a bit dry and stiff. I tried using a lot then less and less. My hair is pretty healthy and this made it dull. Returned it for a refund.

Awesome Hair Stuff
-05.19.12
Quick Take: easy to use, lightweight, non-sticky
I bought this stuff while surfing around sephora, and I love it!
I have what my friends like to call "Asian Afro" and this calms my afro down. I use it after I dry my hair a bit out of the shower, then comb it in, and air dry! Ta da, hair dries, and it's not a Afro! Woot! Will be buying again, wonderful product. No flakes of junk either, really light weight and wonderful, because it works.

Quick Take: non-sticky, lightweight
nice product, like that its all natural, helps with the frizz and doesn't weight hair down or make it greasy, still might try and find something to really help with the frizz for those humid summer days thinking this might not be enough

Quick Take: non-sticky, lightweight, easy to use
I have very thick relaxed african american hair type 4c and I love how this balm makes my new growth so soft and allows me to extend my relaxer by an additional 3 weeks. I use this with a rolloer set and my hair remains soft and straight without using additional heat.

It does its job!
-02.15.12
Quick Take: non-sticky, lightweight, easy to use
I already have smooth hair but the product helps cut my drying time and keeps my style smooth for hours. I will be re-purchasing. You only need a little and apply it the way the bottle states.

Quick Take: non-sticky, lightweight, does not make hair greasy
I have long, wavy "combination hair." Sometimes greasy on top, dry at the ends. I use a dollop on my whole head and then dry my hair with a blow-dryer. It really helps create a smooth, sleek finish. My gripe is that the results do not last in the FL humidity. So I wind up with a voluminous poof after being outside.

I think I'm in the minority here..
-01.27.12
But I am not really impressed by this! I thought it was make my hair blow dry smoother and straighter but it really doesn't do any better than other regular straightening creams have done! I like that it doesn't contain any crazy or harmful ingredients so that's why I gave it 3 stars but performance wise it was just meh.

Awesome!
-12.11.11
Quick Take: lightweight, easy to use
I use this product on my long, curly hair, but not for straightening! I use it when damp and blow-dry with a diffuser, and it keeps my curls beautiful and frizz-free all day long. It's lightweight so doesn't weigh my hair down (still has volume). It's not just great for straightening your hair!

Even helps calm gray...
-12.06.11
Quick Take: non-sticky, lightweight, easy to use, calms flyaways and grays
This product calms gray flyaways, not completely but more than other products I've tried. It really helps me do a great blow dry. I tried other products of theirs in the past and wasn't that crazy about them - this one is a keeper.

-11.08.11
Quick Take: non-sticky, lightweight, easy to use
This product was suggested to me by one of the Phyto
Reps who was in my local Sephora. I am a year post relaxer and I also have a sew in, so I was looking for something that would help me blend the hair I leave out well with the sew in. The rep was also in this same position and said that this product works well with her hair. I've only used it once, but I can say that it's pretty good. After more use, I'll be able to give a more in dept review.

Quick Take: lightweight
I am very happy with this product. It makes your hair soft and easily manageable. I was able to just blow dry my hair, and not use straightening iron. Buying this product, was money "weell spent".
