Phyto Defrissant - Application

curlsofny · 12-11-2006, 02:27 PM

Hi,
I know there is another post on this, but I have a question on applying it just to get a looser curl, not straighten it. How do I use this? Is it a replacement for a gel? Does it hold or give crunch? Just curious if I need to change my product "arrangement". Right now, I leave in the One C & either use Set it Free (it's been working great in place of gel!) or another Cream Styler. I am getting tired of gels.

Thanks.

I'v used it to reduce frizz and just scrunched it into my hair....it didn't striaghten it at all but probably did smooth it some so I'd suggest combing it through wet hair and then maybe just shaking your head/hair to get it back in it's ormal curl pattern and let it dry. I bet that would soften the curl a bit.

Thanks - I might try that in the morning!

I use it like CK if that's any help - after rinsing conditioner out and before gel (I don't use a leave in).

Don't think so. My hair doesn't like protein much and I can use this with no problems.

My hair is also P-sensitive & I use it without problems!!

Thank You both. Might give this a try in the new year.

Cheers.

Makes your hair silky like nothing else can -- but at a very hefty price tag. Has no hold whatsoever. You'll need to use a styler over it.

Where can I get this? Sounds like just what I need!

I got mine at Bath and Body Works. I think Sephora carries it also.

You are correct about the hold - but it does make the curls nice.

For Euro-curlies, the cheapest place to get it is in France.
They sell it in every pharmacy & its about half price compared to USprices!!

For Brit-ringlets-try lookfantastic.com

US-spirals, try Sephora or strawberrynet.com
