Simply wonderful. * Won't ever leave a heavy-product feel. * Increases volume and shine with a luxury look. After shampooing and conditioning, divide hair into small sections and work this elixir through from roots to ends, twirling hair into curls before releasing. Dry hair naturally or blow dry on low.

Didn't work for my hair. Seems like it had little to no effect no matter how much I used. It made my hair appear and feel greasy.

After Michelle's review, I really wanted to like this and tried using more to get more hold. It provided me with some shine, but the hold failed too easily. When I used too much, my curls were stringy (stringier clumps break up into frizz faster/easier). When I used a more "normal" amount, the hold failed and definition vanished into a poofball. Nice for a couple of hours though.

Great frizz control and lots of shine. I had several different results with this depending on how much I used in my hair. I would suggest - apply a small amount otherwise it will weigh down the curls later in the day. Too much will made my hair seem lifeless. But, i did use a few days with a creme and it worked awesome.

This had good frizz control for my fine curls, but no clumping at all. It left my hair stringy and lifeless. It needs to be used with a heavier curl lotion or cream.

Love this! It's not really a thick gel and not really a glaze. I had a hairdresser focus group and they all wanted to know what I had used because my curls looked so good!

I couldn't really tell I'd used a product. If my goal is to get the most curl out of my 2A, I'd have to go elsewhere. No. 8 is quite thin, and I felt like I couldn't get enough product on my hair.

This one didn't work for me. Didn't get enough definition or hold.
