Great product. Love the way it feels in my 3c/4a hair. Moisturizes my hair and has great slip. I put it in after I wash my hair and before I put in Paul Mitchell Foaming Pommade. I also I love using it to make finger coils. I wet my hair then squeeze a little of The Cream on my fingers and go one coils at a time. Excellent definition, soft strong hold and humidity control!!! I totally recommend this product

Brought my hair back from the brink! Turned a dry, crunchy, neglected mess into supersoft shininess by applying generously to my ends and covering with plastic for a few hours. I now use it as my ONLY leave-in for dry styling. I use the Generic Value from Sally's.

Got great results as a stand alone (over a little dab of The Conditioner which I used as a Leave in) No frizz, no puff. The second day I had even better results by spraying over with water and scrunching a little: still no frizz and good curl formation

I use the generic, and LOVE it! I tried a few leave-ins and had decided that I didn't need one since my hair wasn't dry. I gave in because so many of you love it, and now I know why. Nothing has given me so much curl! It has a little PVP (not as much as Gelee though it's 2nd in the ingred) so it has some hold (not enough to last thru the day though so I have to combine with a separate gel). Wonderful curl boosting! Soft, natural curls! Touchable! Not greasy at all for me (and I have the tendency for buildup--none with this stuff).

I use the Generic version of this. It provides great clumping and definition. I layer it with Super Sculpt and I get great curls with hold and without stick or crunch. This is my favorite combo.

I had similar results as cyndi - not bad, but not great either. It really did nothing for my hair, so it is pointless for me to use it.

I wasn't that impressed with this product. It didn't make my hair look bad, but it did not make it look any better and it didn't seem very moisturizing either.

This product is great! I also use the generic from Sallys...I was a little skeptical at first, but from all the chatter about it, I decided to give it a try. The only downside is finding the perfect amount for your hair, because if you use too much it will be greasy. Once I found the perfect amount, my curls were really defined and frizz free!

2c) I use the generic from Sally's. It really makes a difference in my hair. By itself it doesn't do much for definition or antifrizz, but layered under a bit of Rockin Ringlets, it really makes my hair soft, defined, and I have little to no frizz.

Nice, but it has cones. Limited use of it for me. Tended to pull my curl out.

This product is very similar to Sebatsian Potion #9, and gave great curl formation- very soft with a hint of hold (make sure to distribute evenly or in damp hair). I've tried both the Generic version and the original, and they both work the same, although the original smells better.

Been using this product for about three years. It's a leave in conditioner that you apply to towel dried hair. I like it! It is one of the few things I've found that defines my 2a/3a waves. The only negative is that it takes a looongg time for my hair to air dry and the next day, my hair is a bit greasy.

This is a great new product. It has some of the characteristics of Sebastian's Potion 9.
