Been using this since it came out.

I love how it smells and just one pump is pretty much all I need to use on my hair,mainly on my ends.

After straightening I sometimes get flyaways and this works great to fix them and the added shine this gives my hair is great!

The scent of this is so wonderful and not over powering at all.

I really love this. It leaves your hair silky smooth and shiny with and even without a blowdry. The smell is awesome it seems potent at first but then gives a fresh scent when your hair dries. I would definitely repurchase.

Great Product!! The smell is gorgeous! (Kinda reminds me of VS's Rapture perfume.) I remember this coming in a larger glass bottle but was so sad when I dropped it and it broke. I remembered how well this worked on my baby fine hair in the winter and just picked up a bottle again. Fell right back in love with this product. Does wonders on my hair when I straighten it. A definite re-purchase in the future!!

Great product! I just used on my friend who has a major problem with flyaways, and it immediately made her hair shiny and smooth. Make sure to use sparingly, as with all serums can be greasy. I like to use when my hair is damp, because it spreads more evenly, but you can also use dry for stubborn spots.

Love this serum, it leaves my hair so soft and shiny. The scent is great too. I usually wear it when I straighten my hair and it leaves it silky smooth! I also use it when my hair is crazy and frizzy, it helps a lot and I definitely see some shine adding to it.

I was less than thrilled with this serum. Normally, I stick to drugstore (or Sally's) hair care products, but I thought it'd be nice to treat myself to something new, but salon brands aren't really in my budget. Since VS So Sexy line is on sale 3/$24, I figured it'd be a perfect inbetween. I picked up the Balancing shampoo and Nourishing conditioner along with this serum. My hair is bra-strap length, fine (but there's a lot of it), layered, and colored. I blow dry it straight 3-4 days a week, so I need a light serum that will help protect my hair from damage. I also like a product that can help control how poofy and frizzy my hair gets when I let it air dry. The first day I used this, I wasn't impressed. I applied two pumps to my hair while it was still damp, and let it dry overnight. In the morning, my hair was just as poofy and frizzy as if I never put anything in it. I did notice, however, that my color looked a little brighter and my hair was a little more shiny, so I gave it a lippie for that. I also thought the scent was nice, not as strong and overpowering as the shampoo/conditioner, but just right. I tried it again the next day before blow drying my hair, and once again, wasn't impressed. My hair was pretty smooth, and a little more shiny, but the results were average at best. This did nothing to control frizz or flyaways. This is an average product in fancy packaging. I've used a number of d/s serums that work better than this one, for the same price or less.

I'm nuts about this product and have gone through many many bottles since I've been using this product ever since it was introduced. It does a great job in softening my hair without making it feel greasy and I can easily comb my hair after a shower (my hair is very prone to tangles). I don't have to use very much of this product; a little goes a long way. I only use it on my ends. I only wish the bottle was made of plastic instead of glass since I'm afraid of breaking it by accident.

This smells amazing! I always get compliments on how I smell when I put this in my hair. It makes your hair shiny for only a couple of hours, and it doesn't really control frizz and flyaways (but the product doesn't claim that it controls frizz, so...). Overall an average product that makes your hair smell AMAZING.

This is a good, basic silicone oil hair serum. The consistency is runnier than other products of this type, but it still works fine. It gives my hair a light sheen and provides a little bit of leave-in moisture. $10 for 1.7 ounces is a little expensive in my opinion but VS frequently has their hair care products on sale for 3/$24. I'm on the fence on whether or not I would buy this product again... it's a decent product but I've used better ones.

Smells great, good shine that seems like it only last for a couple of hours. kinda disappointed because it didn't control my flyaways and I had to use three pumps to get a shine that doesn't last long :-(

I've tried a lot of serums, basically because my hair is humanly impossible to handle unless there is some sort of serum in it.

This one is light, smells really nice, and effective.

However, it's thin, meaning I have to use twice as much as say, PM SSS or my most recent Samy...

And upon my first pump... nothing but a perfumed, watery substance came out... so I actually have to shake this serum up VIGOROUSLY before I use it.

Still on the fence about it.

A really great product. It is so light yet it definitely does it's job. It makes your hair so shiny and smooth and frizz free! I used this after I got out of the shower so my hair was damp. It smells so great but you shouldn't overdo how much product you use. I would definitely purchase this again being that VS sells the "so sexy" products in 3/$21 or $24 or whatever it is.

I tried a trial version of this stuff and a little really does go along way. The smell is great, makes my hair nice and shiny without overdoing it and keeps the frizzies away...HOWEVER...after awhile the smell gave me such a headache it turned into a migraine and it really does as good as a job for me as the SSS or Paul Mitchell or even Chi. I am on the fence about trying it every again and like I said I had such a headache by the end of the day because that is all I could smell and I only used a half a squirt and my hair is past my shoulders. While it did the job it isn't anything to jump and down for especially if you are prone to headaches.

I like this serum a lot. It's light enough that it doesn't weigh my hair down but helps control frizzies and add some shine. Of course I love the smell. It's A LOT lighter that the Super Skinny Serum I've used before. I'm not sure that it works any better than the Super Skinny Serum but it's harder to mess up. I can add two-three squirts of this to my ends and not end up with the greasies where as with the SSS I had to squirt out just the right amount or it wouldn't be right. I like being able to just grab the bottle and squirt a few times, rub in my ends and go. I don't like the little glass bottle all that much. It adds to the luxery feel but not to the function. I also wish the little spout didn't clog up so much.

Yuck. Worst serum Ive ever tried. I got a sample size of this stuff, and Im glad thats all I did buy. It did nothing for my hair except make it oily, and I only used 1 tiny drop. It smells really good, but thats about it. After a couple of days using it, my hair started to feel very dry and brittle. SO yeah, I dont even bother with it anymore.

Is it possible for a smoothing product to not weigh down fine hair?? Well, I think this is it!! The directions read to either apply to damp or dry hair and I choose to do so on dry. It leaves my hair so smooth, silky and smelly - all without weighing it down!! The scent is not too strong for me and I love how a little really goes a long way! I bought this as a set along with the S/C, so it was 3/$24. So far, I think it's all worth the money and I hope that VS keeps this around!!

This was garbage for my hair. It barely provided any shine. Smells great but I've have used much better shine serums.

***HG ALERT!!*** Seriously, this is the ONLY shine serum that has actually worked on me AND it doesn't weigh my hair down! Amazing and smells amazing too!!!! This and my Generic Tea Tree Oil are what keeps my hair shiny and heathy looking. For reference, I have baby fine color-treated hair. YAY!
