It's a decent all-in-one product that adds shine, like a serum, but also has a gel-like texture for better styling and hold. It's difficult to get the amount right, because if you use too much, it leaves here sticky and crunchy. I can see where some hair types would love this as an all-in-one product, but my hair is too thirsty and needs more moisture. (I've used this while straightening my hair though and had better results.)

I saw this is my aunt's closet and 'borrowed' a little bit of it b/c I had run out of my usual serum. It was a horribly rainy day and my aunt's shower has very hard water so I hadn't expected to have a good hair day but I was pleasantly surprised to have an amazing hair day!!! Will definitely repurchase!!!

The BEST product I've ever found for controlling frizz in my 3B hair. My first review on this site, but I had to share this. I've been fighting my curls since the 60's, and have done everything to get smooth frizz-free hair. I don't flat iron, but smooth with a brush and dryer, and can walk out in 90% humidity and get NO Frizz!! I can't beleive this is my hair! Got caught in the rain, and my hair just curled into smooth loose curls, without a frizzy in sight. Will never use anything else.

This left my curls feeling dry, stiff and almost tacky. Yuck.

This product is amazing. It instantly detangles and defines my curls. It's very slippery so good for layering. No product has done this for me. I love it!

I bought this stuff and promptly dumped this stuff. It did not tame my hair at all. It sure has a nice consistency with glitter in it but this cannot hide the fact that it does absolutely nothing for my hair.

I've used this for years - LOVE IT. Makes my curls bouncy and elastic, no flaking EVER. Medium Hold, no crunch, nice fragrance. My favorite use is on dry hair next day - smooths everything back into place without a wash-out. Must clarify every once in a while cuz will build up a bit. But worth it.

It didn't have enough hold for me, and didn't weigh my hair down enough. But it did give great curls, and made my hair smooth and shiny. Lots of potential, and could be perfect with people who have less volume-problems (meaning, I have too much!) than I do.

I've used this stuff for a long time and I really like it. When I use this serum, it kinda makes my hair feel like it did when I was little. (Which is a good thing!)

I adore this stuff and have used it for years! I use it alone and it has held up during travels in summer heat/humidity of Bangkok, Mexico and Australia and of course my daily life here in Florida. It smells fantastic too!!!

Great stuff for my long curly hair. Has just enough hold, and actually seems to moisturize my hair. No cones, either.

use both ways...curly or straight... But I dont need a product for when I straighten my hair... But when I use it when my hair is curly, I need a little bit more of a stronger hold.

You can feel it working almost immediately, making my coarse hair smoother. I still needed to use a gel with it, but I liked the smell and the feel.

Good stuff. Good curl formation and hold. Worked fine on its own for me; I didn't need supplemental product with this one.

My favorite gel of the moment. Easy to apply. The one gel I'll be taking with me on a two-week vacation.
