This is the first "sleek look" product that's actually worked for me. Before I started using this, I was spending soooo much time with a straightening iron and drying the ends of my hair.

Now I rub a little more than a "pea size" into wet hair, spray on Bed Head's Health Goddess, and blow out with a paddle brush. My hair is straight and verrrry soft - so soft, in fact, my boyfriend can't keep his hands off my hair!

This is one product I don't want to be without (unless of course, I stumble across one that works as well for less $$) :)

I am Afric-Amer with medium-length coarse,thick hair that is prone to frizz. My boyfriend bought this product along witht the serum in a pack as a birthday present. I was amazed after trying so many products (with dissapointment) how well this worked on my thick, tangly hair. I am ususally skeptical about using cremes to dry my hair, but this worked well; the brush basically glided through. I have also tried the shampoo and conditioner as well and they're great as well. The scent is nice and lingers in my hair for days. The only drawback to the system is the lock-out spray. I felt after using for several days seemed like build-up on my hair. Felt sticky. I shampoo every six to seven days. Overall, the products are very good and I would recommend to anyone with hair of my type, or give as a gift.

I have fine,slightly wavy hair and consider the lite smoothing cream a stable product for straightening my hair. I've tried quite a few straightening products and they either didn't work or weighted down my hair so I've ended my search with this one. It only takes a small amount and I do have to be careful to not put it on my root area or it will look a little greasy but that's pretty common sense for those of us with fine hair.

This cream is difficult to master. Its really unpredictable, too. sometimes it makes your hair silky smooth and sometimes it makes your hair coarse feeling. I think the price is a little much for this product that sometimes works.

I like this product, it's another lemming. But I think the larger bottles are a bit more frustrating to use. Because too much of the product tends to pour out of the sqeeze top.
I dunno, just personal preference, I prefer the smaller pop top bottles, because I dont use alot of this at one time.

While I have praised other products in this line, this one just doesn't work on my thick, coarse, wavy hair. Today, I had to do the dreaded "redo everything" halfway through drying. Couldn't take the greasy, heavy what-the-heck-is-this-on-my-hair-and-get-it-off-me-NOW! I had to start all over again. Then had great results with Alberto VO-5 Kiwi and Lime Squeeze clarifying shampoo, Redken All Soft Heavy Cream conditioner, Phyto Defrisant Straightening Balm combined with a little L-Oreal Leave-In Heat Protection Cream, topped off after drying with a little Kiwi Blow Silk. I was starting to feel like the mad hair scientist. Turned out to be a good hair day after all with the old reliables, but, hey, I've got other things to do than redo the do!!!!

This stuff is amazing! I have long blond (highlighted) hair that is naturally straight. This stuff leaves if looking so healthy and smooth (even the ends). The is nearly mandatory for me when blowdrying my hair. I highly reccommend you buy.

The first 1-2 times I used this I thought it was great. But then I realized that it was seriously weighing down my hair and making it look and feel terribly greasy. I wouldn't recommend this product for fine/thin haired girls, but it just may be ideal for ladies with super-thick/curly hair.

This works for a little while but on thick hair it makes your hair parched and puffy and on thin hair it builds up and weighs it down. Does smell good though.

I love the cream. True it doesn;t completely make curly hair smooth and sleek when you blow dry it, but that is only to be expected when your hair is not naturally straight. However, if you use a flat iron after words it leaves your hair very very shiny. I love the sleek look line. It keeps my hair from being super frizzy even in Georgia humidity.

My aunt works at a salon so I get great discounts on products. This smoothing cream was great. I used it on the ends of my hair to smooth out split ends. It went into my hair really well and made my hair look healthy.

I tried this product on my very thick, wavy, puffy hair and while it helped with the smoothness, it weighed my hair down. Then I decided to try the Smoothing Cream Lite, and it still smoothed it yet did not weight it down.

I have wavy/curly hair. This product works well in getting my hair straight. If your hair is wavy or curly you have to use heat to get it straight. Also a little bit of this product goes a long way.

An oklay product, smelled wonderfull, but it kinda weighed my hair down and made it feel greasy....I did try using different amounts and on hair while dry and wet. Nether made much of a difference. Would be much better for someone with a drier hair type, as I am oily.

This is a good styling cream for my frizzy hair. I want my hair to go straight and this helps somewhat for making my wavy/frizzy hair smooth.

I was very disappointed with this product. I even used the entire line (including shampoo, conditioner & hairspray) along with it. My hair is only slightly wavy, but tends to become frizzy and this stuff didn't help. The end result was dried out hair which was still rather wavy and frizzy. I must note, however, that I was impressed with the hairspray in this line - when I used it after styling my hair with my favorite straightening/smoothing products - it held forever...without drying or weighing it down.

Ahhh...I really wanted to like this product. Unfortunately, it dried out my hair. I used this product several times and each time I used it, I felt my hair get progressively drier and straw-like. I think all the "anti-humidity" agents in the cream are drying out my hair. Bummer. My hair isn't frizzy, but dry as a stack. I have better results with Phytodefrisant.

I must be the only person here who doesnt like this creme. I persisted with it for a couple of times but didnt use it today and my hair feels soooooo much better. I thin it dried it out and made it heavy as well. My hair is a lot shinier and softer without this stuff. I might try it on dry hair and see what happens.....Will keep updated.

This is a very good styling cream that won't leave my thik hair greasy or sticky. I use it before I blowdry, and use my CHI iron - the results are stunning! I get super shiny, super sleek, highly light reflecting hair! Without heat styling I don't see much of a difference, but I guess it tames the frizz somewhat. I will buy again - but it does laaaast. I don't think it's terribly expensive. Oh, and I do like the smell - I suppose that's a personal thing, really.
