Overall:



The idea of this product is that you are supposed to be able to put it in your hair after lightly towel drying it, and it will add frizz free volume, enhance texture and give you a great natural look without blow drying or styling your hair. I am a little obsessed with it.

So first of all the packaging is clean and professional looking, and it is my favorite kind of packaging! It is a squeeze tube that sits on it's lid, which means you get a lot of product quickly. It has a really light crisp smell. The only thing is I wish it were a little stronger. You can't smell it at all about 30 to 45 minutes after you apply it. When I use it I apply the product on my palms and and then scrunch it into my hair. It is super easy to use with almost no learning curve.

After I use it my hair has a weightless feeling, and it is soft and hydrated. I can comb my finger through my hair and I love that! It has a lot of body with little frizz. Sometimes I do add a little bit of lightweight hairspray, but not always. My hair has a lot of texture when I use this. I have natural wave that if I just air dry is almost nonexistent, but if I use a curl cream they are full curls! This cream is perfect because I get loose curls and waves that are touchable, not crunchy and not clumpy. I am converted!
