This product worked for me, although I find that using a ceramic flat iron without this type of product works just as well.

This product didn't do anything for my hair. It wasn't straighter than the normal 2b day. It wasn't curly (some straightening products seem to help frizz and not kill curl). I had less frizz than some other straighteners, but frizz isn't not really a problem for my hair naturally (usually product induced). Save your $$$. There are better frizz-fighters. This product didn't straighten me at all.

Cheaper than Sebastian's Get it Straitt and has the same effect. Apply to sections as you blow dry your hair straight and the product will make the whole process easier, and the hair-do last so much longer. Apply by sections. :) It helps your blow-dried straight hair survive heavy humidity.

Awesome to straighten my fine curly hair. Prevents frizz in high humidity, and makes blowouts 100% easier.

Contains alcohol, and will dry out your hair, eventually making it damaged and frizzy. Avoid!

I like the product when I want to straighten my 2a/3a hair. When first applying, it seems greasy, but makes my hair feel smooth and moist once I am done blow drying with a brush.

This is a good straightener, which I tried on the top of my hair. It left it shiny and smooth.

I straightened a little part in the back; this product worked fine.
