My favorite product so upset that aveda took it off the shelves. Anytime I see a salon or the stores in the mall has some I buy all of it. I think I have like 6 bottles right now. They're small and they go fast. The trick to this product is DON'T follow to the direction. It says use on dry hair, DON'T. I use it on wet. It works AWESOME.

Yuck. Just a dab of this made my hair feel heavy and clumpy and needing a washing. A waste of a product and I guess I'm not alone in thinking this because I just heard they are discontinuing this product. Wise move!

I recently rediscovered a bottle of this that I had laying around. I had stopped using because it was too goopy. Since then, I went CG, but my hair was looking a little frizzy so I realized that I might be lacking protein. So using it now, it works great for me. I use it in damp hair to clump the curls together. Interesting how much it didn't work before CG (BCG) but now is just exactly what I need (ACG hee hee).

I just couldn't get past the smell, which I thought was horrible. While trying not to breath my curls didn't benefit much from this product. I was hoping for a good second day product. Seemed to make my curls more frizzy.

I was really excited about this product, but it didn't provide enough hold for me. Maybe I didn't use enough? I like the curl enhancer much better from Aveda.

Works great, but don't follow the directions on the bottle. Instead, mix it with the curl enhancing lotion, then apply the mixture to damp hair before styling.

I love this stuff! It works awesome on 2nd day hair. I use a little and scrunch it in to give instant volume and curl revitalization without any frizz!!! I also use it when my hair is about 90% dry to give it an extra boost. Again, a little goes a long way. Also, the smell is amazing

Great for breaking up crunchies from product and for giving shine and softness without messing up curl. Also great for managing a second day--used sparingly holds down the frizz real well.

Smelt amazing (classic Aveda fragrance), but never made any change in frizz/definition. Did add shine short-term.

Well, I believe that it is obvious that someone that does not have curly hair designed this product. What Aveda wants you to do is to put this product in your hair AFTER you allow your hair to dry. The only problem is that I don't want to touch my hair after it dries because it only causes more frizz. I did not try putting this into my hair when it was wet, and that may work out better, however, when I put it in my dry hair, it made it sticky, crunchy, and hard. Not worth the money.

This stuff is incredible. It's the best mid-day fixer-upper, second-day-hair-getter I've ever tried. I would never use it in the morning, but if I've tested another product, and it stinks, I put this on dry hair, and magically, my hair is fixed. It's great for second-day hair, too.

I'm loving this line. I use this sparingly on dry hair to tame stray frizzies, give extra hold or perk up drooping curls.
