Default It's a 10 leave in

I was thinking about buying this but It's kind of pricey and comes in a little bottle and I have TONS of hair.. Who has tried this leave in?? Is it worth the price?

I have never tried it. If I remember correctly it contains silicones - something I won't use in my hair. I am also not a big fan of spray leave-ins. I don't find they do much. I think there are a lot of good LI's out there that don't cost as much as this product does

It does what it says it does but it also does contain silicones, and a number of them. I also don't recommend it for fine hair unless you're VERY CAREFUL as it can be very heavy.

I have a bottle that I bought on a whim (a crazy expensive whim) and regret. I mean, for folks who blow out their hair, yes, this works well to smooth. And for hair that likes protein. Sure.

I liked the result when it was a blow out.

I HATED the result on curly hair. Big difference to me. Gross on my diffused hair. Great on my blown-out hair.

Since I don't blow out much (a few times a year at a salon when I feel like having 10 days of fuss free hair now and then), it's a waste of moolah.

I would NOT recommend it for curls.

My hairdresser uses this and likes it a lot. She's used it on me and I was impressed with the results. I haven't purchased it due to the silicones so I don't know if regular use would cause build up issues. I'm assuming it would.

Hello ladies. I am a brand spanking newbie and have been trolling the forums, reading and learning all I can. I did feel the need to put my 2 cents in on the topic of It's A 10. I have a mix of 3a/mostly 3b hair that is extremely damaged and of a very high porosity. I cant remember what good hair feels like and to make matters worse I recently had a dye job, gone very wrong. It really did a number on my locks. My hair was almost black, and that is no where near the light golden brown I asked for. I was fed up with my hair dresser. He had done this to me before (many years ago). He always believed he knew what was best for my hair, and was the worlds worst to damaged it further with rough combing, etc... Now let me get back to the point. I waited a few weeks before booking an apt with a fantastic stylist, who has been helping me get on the right path. I was trying to get my hair as healthy as possible before she corrected the color (in stages). I saw It's a 10 in the drug store, went home and read hundreds of glowing reviews, and purchased it the next day. Horrifying mistake! It ate my hair up. 4 weeks later I am still trying to recover from it, and I had to have my medium locks cut even shorter to remove the damage. I know products react different in every hair type but if someone with hair close to mine stumbles across this... RUN!!

It's one of the best leave ins you can buy if you use sulfate shampoos & heat tools. If not, don't bother.

fine bleached 2a/3b hair that doesn't actually curl, it's just like an S shape that just gets tighter. sometimes some of it curls underneath though.
