This is probably my HG hair product.. Sadly I haven't been able to find it anymore, but there's one like it out now, it just has a heavier scent and feels heavier overall..
I loved how light and soft this made my hair, it was very gentle in all aspects--smell, feel, look--and the tube was tiny and lasted so long!
Frizze-Ease just can't compare to Dream Cream, the latter never made my hair greasy!

this product didnt do anything but coat my hair to make it slightly softer...since i have naturally curly hair and i had to use it on dry hair, it straightened out my hair from applying it..seems to take a lot and it says to use a pea size amount...if you have straight hair give it a try

Just a little bit of this tames frizz & makes your hair super soft. Doesn't weight your hair down either, which can be a bit unusual in a cream. Highly recommended!

This is an okay product, nothing really fabulous about it. It doesn't make my hair dreamy, I'll just say that.
I will not re-purchase.

I keep coming back to this product. At this point in my life it's working really well in my short layered hair to calm frizzies I get w/blowdrying(I have naturally curly hair). I find that it has just the right amount of thickness so it doesn't weigh my hair down.

A friend gave this tube to me after she tried it and didnt like it on her thick, fine hair. I applied this cream to the ends of my hair to smooth fly aways, it looked great for an hour or so then got frizzy-like. Cost was not bad... Under 4.00. I have fine very long blonde hair, did not notice any significant change in my hair after using. I dont plan to use it again, nor would I purchase it. Theres better products out there.

oooohhhh i love it! after blow-drying and flat ironing, my hair looked a little parched and boring...i put a pea sized amount in my fingers and applied the way the instructions say, and my hair became so much shinier and brighter! it's not greasy or anything, and it smells great. will repurchase.

UPDATE: oh my gosh, i love this stuff even more! if i put this on my hair before i go to sleep (especially after blowdrying when the hair's warm) it feels AMAZING in the morning...all silky and soft. great stuff!

While this ws a good product for me, it's certainly not outstanding. Doesn't weight my fine hair down and does tame my flyaways, but the fix doesn't last very long at all. I'd be a lot happier with this product if the frizzies stayed away all day.

I have dry and porous but baby fine highlighted blonde hair to my shoulders. I have had NO LUCK with any of the John Frieda Sheer Blonde products, I especially hate the shampoo and conditioner in the line. The dream cream is the one big exception. It is a staple in my haircare routine. It really smooths unruly hairs as a last touch to a home blowout and makes the hair shiny and healthy-looking without weighing it down. I love this!!!!!

I originally reviewed this cream 3 years ago when I had short, highlighted hair. I now have very long highlighted hair and I still find that this is an amazing product! I apply about 2 or 3 pea sized amounts to my hair right before styling (with either blowdryer or curling iron). It makes my dry hair feel like SILK! It's amazing! A lot people want to know what a good substitute for Fekkai Glossing Cream is... well, look no further. This works just as well, if not better than the Fekkai. It also works for ALL haircolors... not just blonde.

This product made my ends stick together. They would not seperate even after combing. Other than that it was decent but I would not fool with it again.

I have been using this for quite a while...almost 9 months... and I still have half of the tube. You only need a small amount and should apply it from the middle to the ends or just on the ends as it will make the roots too greasy. I have dry, curly hair but whether I am wearing it curly or straight it works well to smooth out the frizzies and fly aways.

I think that this stuff would work better on someone with medium thick hair than on me with my fine hair. It did get rid of my frizz, but it left my hair limp and not very shiny. I'll use it until the bottle is gone and then move on to something better.

This product is so thick that it can really only be used on the ends of hair. Even then, I didn't notice any results. My hair looked the same, just slightly weighed down. Save your money and invest in TiGi's After Party or Fekkai's glossing cream.

This is the product i am currently using to help tame my hair. I have fine hair that seems to have lots of frzz. I had used the Secret Weapon, but felt that it was too heavy. I decided to try this products instead. Similar to the SW, you only need a small amount. It is a thick unscented cream. It seems to tame the frizz pretty well, but I am going to look for another product to replace it when it's gone. I would like the product to have a nice scent, and maybe be a little less heavy.

This product is worthless. It actually made my oily hair a drier on the ends, and seemed to stick to each and every split end to highlight it. This smells terrible, and does nothing for my hair except to dry it even more!

My sister got this as part of a Sheer Blonde gift pack and didn't use it so I decided to give it a go when I noticed that this isn't silicon-based. I read that silicon-based products can leave a residue on your hair that builds up as well as 'fry' your hair shaft when using heated appliances. I have found this to be excellent to smooth new hair growth that pokes up or fly-aways after I've used my ghd straightening irons. It's not greasy, doesn't weigh your hair down and washes out easily. It smells pleasant but it's so subtle that you can't smell it in your hair. It helps to make it look shiny and healthy. Be aware that this product does what it says it will but it won't provide miracles because it's not a heavy-duty product and if you have, say, lots of frizz, then it's not supposed to cure this. This will not eliminate frizz, tame unruly hair or make damaged hair look wonderful miraculously. It's merely a finishing product to add a bit of sleekness and shine. It's not designed to have a hold factor. I'm sure non-blondes could just as easily use this. This is very reasonably priced; I only need the size of my little finger nail to lightly rub over my long hair.

I was leary of trying this after reading some of the negative reviews, but I am happy I did. This product is the perfect alternative to oily silicone glossing and smoothing drops. I don't understand how people are getting a greasy feeling from this unless they are using FAR too much. If you use a pea sized amount like the directions say, it is fine. It makes my highlighted blond hair so shiny and healthy looking. It cost $6 at Walgreens and this tube should last an eternity considering how little you use.
