LOVE LOVE LOVE it! It leaves my curls super soft, shiny and well moisturized so much so that my hair really does feel like silk. Yeah it's got a couple of -cones, but I haven't found it to actually build up on my hair. Could be because a little bit of this stuff goes a long way or because I do clay treatments every other week so there's just no time for it to build up. I don't care if it isn't "all natural", I'm keeping it...I need like a gallon of this stuff so I'll never ever run out. For me it actually does define my curls some, I was able to wear a wash-n-go with no hardness, super soft curls after I applied it over my aloe vera gel. I will attempt to see how it looks if I use this over my leave-in (aloe vera + elucence mbc + lots of h20 mix) in bigger quantities because It seems to define my curls somewhat as well and I haven't tried it on fresh, clean wet hair yet. The bad side: It's increased my HIH tendencies though.

This product did nothing for my hair.It left my hair feeling coarse after I rubbed it in. It did not tame my frizzes at all. They are cheaper alternatives if you are looking for a silicon based styling product.

I read all the rave reviews about the Elucence line so I bought this shampoo, conditioner, and elixir. The elixir made my hair very soft and shiny but it didn't do much with the frizz. Still love it! Thanks for all the recommendations :)

This stuff is great! Sometimes I comb it in after my leave-in conditioner, and sometimes I just use it on dry next-day hair. It makes hair shiny, soft, and reduces frizz. Also, you only need to use a little, so it lasts forever!

I love this product. I knew that when Elucence came out with a new product, it would be great. It's a great defrizzer/shine product that doesn't feel greasy. Great smell.

A great shiner with so many more benefits than the usual glosser, as it has silk proteins to strengthen hair. Doesn't weigh hair down or feel greasy.
