I ended up purchasing this product after using a sample. The sample was the older version of the same product (pink packaging), but I used up the entire sample pouch in one go, so perhaps the amount was large per use, but I was impressed by how smooth my hair became after just one use. When I purchased it, it was the current version, so perhaps it wasn't compatible, but even using the recommended amount didn't make my hair smooth, and even using the same amount as the sample left my hair feeling sticky. It seems to be good at protecting my hair from the heat of a hair dryer, so I would like to use it up, but I don't think I'll be purchasing it again.
I've been using this for a while, and I was attracted to the color-keeping formula, so I bought it. I'm not sure if it actually keeps the color (lol), but I like how it keeps my hair moisturized! However, the volume seems to have gotten smaller since the product was renewed...
I've been using this product several times since it was available with the purple cap before the renewal. I wanted to put something other than oil and milk on my towel-dried hair, so I came across this mousse-like product. It has a nice scent, spreads easily, and is quickly absorbed into my hair, so it's easy to use as there's no need to shake it. I have fine, curly hair that tends to spread out easily, but there hasn't been any change to my frizz. I know that this can only be achieved by straightening my hair, so I've given up. However, I think this product is the reason I no longer get split ends, even in the dry seasons when static electricity is more likely to occur.
I have a curly perm, so this loose milk-like texture is easier to spread than oil. It's moisturizing. My hair tends to dry out easily after a perm, so I really like this.
A small amount is very effective in keeping your hair in place. The next morning, my hair was still in place, but I had some mess at the ends, which I rarely get in bed, so I thought maybe it was because it contained a lot of ingredients to help shape it. I didn't want to use it every day, so I use it once every 2-3 days.
