I have used this product daily for years and I cannot say enough good things about it! It has transformed my hair and has made it much easier to manage. My hair is soft and bouncy with the perfect amount of shine because of this serum. Other brands haven't worked near as well. I never leave on a trip without it

I'm not sure I know how to apply serum without roughing up the hair cuticle, but this did more to weigh my hair down than to prevent/control frizz. It does, however, add shine, so that's a plus.

It needs some time to find the right dosage, but it really does form the hair and reduces frizz. However, it dries out the hair extremly, so I don't recomend daily usage and only for well cared for hair.

This really works on my hair. It doesnt give me ringlets but i get tight individual curls. It's hard to get the right amount, if you use too much you'll get greasy and stiff hair. Remember not to use it on your roots, only on the ends.

I used this product way back in the day (10 years ago) when I was in high school to straighten my hair. I remember liking it then so I recently started using it again, except this time for wearing my hair curly (woo hoo). It reduced my frizz to a certain extent, but not completely. It worked better for me when I used a good leave in conditioner.

This is by far the best hair serum/silicon I have come across in years. It has been my staple for years after I couldn't find any more Zero Fizz products in my area. It definitely eliminates ALL frizz on the planet. I love to use this product when I am blow drying my hair straight. My hair is bone straight and shiny.

It fools you, doesn't it? It seems to feel softer at first, and you feel less frizzy at first.... but only for a very little while, and only when used once in a while. Why bother? There are so many other good things out there. I'm in agreement on the cones. Any cones left on your hair only seem to make things worse in the long run.

It bothers me that so many people buy this product b/c its justa waste of money. It would spread evenly through my hair, and i ended up using too much and my hair was just untouchable and GREASY. Please don't give anymore money for this product. There are soo many better products out there.

I've tried this again and again. Because I keep hoping to see how 'amazing' it's supposed to be. Nothing, it does nothing. No matter if I put the dime sized amount, or a palmful. Such a waste of money for me.

I actually had pretty good results when I tried this product-- no crunch, nice curl formation and definition, and a cut-down on frizz. But this is definitely not a daily-use product. You have to be careful not to use too much or it will weigh hair down. I think it would be a bit too much for wavy hair, but maybe the light formula would work.

I hate this stuff. It stopped working very quickly and eventually did nothing for my hair. I felt it was drying too. The product itself feels greasy, which I don't like. It's also expensive in the UK. Overall, it's probably the worst product I've ever tried.

This stuff dries out my hair, which makes it even frizzier than it was to begin with. No thank you.

This is a horrible serum. It doesn't do anything for my hair...it actually makes it frizzy..and my hands get sticky. I do like the fact that it blocks from UV rays.

This does nothing for my hair. Although the packaging says to use a "dime sized amount," that much product just does not last through my masses of hair.

Not good on CG because of the cones. Tried light formula and it worked a few times and then my hair frizzed, then upgraded to the regular formula worked for a short time and then upgraded to the extra strength...same thing happened after a while. Not good for long term...maybe ok once in a rare while.

Perhaps this product page should be updated. I paid less than $10 for it and the picture is no longer accurate. The package labeling clearly tells how much to use (a dime-sized amount). I am 4 days into using the Lite Formula for my fine, curly hair and so far I adore it. My curls are defined, my frizz is controlled(in Memphis humidity and heavy rain!) and my hair is shiny. However, I think I might be seeing the beginnings of what the other reviewers have complained of as far as build-up. My hair was VERY soft the first day (I used the serum along with Dream Curls) but my hair now feels just slightly crunchy and a little dryer. I'm going to try using less of both products on my short hair to see if I can get the softness back so that I may continue to enjoy the definition they provide.

I love the initial results, but after 4 or 5 days of using it I'm left with weighted down, dirty looking hair, regardless of how little I use. I wash between applications but it's like it builds up or something.

The first time I used this, I loved it. No friz and my hair felt really soft. The more I used it, however, the drier my hair became until it felt like straw. Whenever I try to use it now it doesn't even control the frizz no matter how much I use.

Eh. Nothing less than the Extra Strength formula does a thing for me. I also noticed it left a build up that I had a hard time shampooing out. I had poo-pooed the idea that silicones can ultimately be very drying until I used this! I stopped using it and my hair was indeed dryer than when I started using it.

I've been using this for years on my 3a curls. Oddly enough, I've found that the extra strength is thinner and more effective on my hair than the standard variety. I find if I use a small amount sleeked over my hair when it's braided, it keeps the frizzies at bay for hours in the DC humidity. I don't have a problem with the packaging, but that's because I saved one of the large 1.5 oz pump bottles the serum used to come in. I dump almost two of the 0.8 oz eye-dropper bottles in there and I'm set.

I like this when mixed in with some mousse or gel to really define my 2a/3a curls. Unfortunately, it is so small it doesn't last long - and I find it pricey for so small of a container.

Hard guessing how much to use. But works quite well. Not brilliant, effects don't last long on 4a's 3 days max. Good for a night out! recommend just not right for me.

You have to tinker to come up with the right dosage for your hair, but it does reduce frizz.

I like this. Really smoothed hair, cut back on frizz and flyaways. Gave good curl formation. Hair was shiny.
