It has a consistency more like a soft cream than milk, with a slight balm-like feel to it. It's easier to spread and use than a balm. The packaging is simple and nice, but you can't just snap the lid open with one hand; you have to hold it with both hands and twist it around to open it. The lid is also really small. I accidentally dropped it and it fell into the sink, and it got wet a few times. Considering how stylish it looks when it's on display, this lid is the right choice, but it doesn't seem very convenient. Which one should I choose...?
I have long, wavy, fine hair, and my problem is that my waves get flat and fall apart easily. I generally don't like styling products, so I buy a lot of them and then put them away. This one seemed to have good reviews, so I bought it. The scent is great. It's a soft, creamy formula that's easy to use. It doesn't hold much (I expected that from the start), but it doesn't last long. The worst part is that the cap is so small and screw-on, I keep dropping it! It's so small! Overall, it passes the test.
I bought it after reading the reviews, but as expected, it's not suitable for people with thick, dry hair that tends to be frizzy all year round. It's like a balm for people with perms, but, well, it just didn't suit me. It manages to hold my hair together at first, but it quickly becomes dry, and no matter what I use, it never lasts, even though I think it's soaking in. lol I have a triple whammy of thick, dry, and easily damaged hair, so I've been trying so hard to find a hair styling product that suits me.
It smells nice, like after a salon visit. It's a tube, so it's easy to adjust the amount you use. However, the cap is small, so it can be a little tricky to open and close (especially during busy mornings). It's a little tricky to balance when storing it. It feels light and smooth, and natural, and not too oily. My hair tends to be dry, so I'd prefer it to be a little heavier. However, compared to other styling products, it doesn't leave my hands sticky after use, and it has a nice scent, so I like that about it.
It's good. It looks good even if you just set it randomly, so it can be used on days when you don't have time in the morning. If you leave it on after perming, it will stay in place, and if you want to make it a little heavier, you can use it in combination with oil. The scent is also nice. Also, unlike push-type products, you can adjust the amount.
