OK, so I didn't like this the first time I used it but I admit I rushed to judgment. This smells so good I might even repurchase. It helps with styling somewhat, but it really doesn't do a lot to assist with straightening so if that's what you're looking for, you should probably not purchase.

I am a HUGE Bb fan from way back, so I hate to not like one of their products, but I just don't like this one. I have a lot of fine/medium curly/frizzy hair. Initially, I did like this product but I feel that it builds up in my hair and leaves a waxy residue. My hair is a little dull and not quite as soft as it could be. It's like a coated soft. I do think that this probably works great for coarser curly hair, and is worth a try for those women. Obviously, a lot of people like this product. For me, I'm sticking with my Kerastase Nectar Thermique. It's a little more expensive, but my hair is much happier with it.

I only have the travel size in this styling product because I don't often spend time styling my hair but from what I have used of it (and that is most of it), I am really pleased.

I use this while blow drying my hair with a round brush and it does everything it says it will. It holds the style, it keeps it sleek and it does not frizz; static is another matter though than con does not outweigh the pros of this product.

doesnt really help straighten,but hair does feel softer after blow drying, and its too expensive, any hair cream or gel which aims to defrizz could do. will no repurchase

I have the straight shampoo, conditioner, lotion and gel.
I do not use a flat iron and I have curly, voluminous hair. This line does softens your hair (especially if you add a bit of Moroccan Oil when done towel-drying your hair) but, of course, it doesn't make miracles and it won't straighten your hair.

I have thick, wavy hair and this product gives me an awesome blow out (I don't even straighten after). It also reduced the time needed for blow drying. It is expensive, but a little goes a long way. I layer this product with the bumble and bumble prep.

I have been using this for about a week now and I love it! I use about a dime size amount and sometimes I mix some DeFrizz with it and love the results!

I have a serious flat iron addiction. Every day when I see new bits of breakage, I swear I'm gonna stop. But I never do. Like many others, I could keep small countries afloat with the money I've wasted on heat protective products. B&B straight works incredibly well. The difference between this product and many others is that the hair doesn't get a greasy or broom-like look. My hair looks straight but not limp. Extremely happy with this. The test will be one month from now, when there may be product build up. I am cautiously optimistic.

I love this product! I already have straight hair to begin with, but it really adds a great shine to my hair and prevents those random curls that I usually have to use a straightener for. You just have to be careful to not use too much product (also only use in the ends if you have fine hair) otherwise your hair will look kind of greasy. But I can't go without it anymore, definitely a HG product for me!

I love this product. I have curly/wavy hair that frizzes easily. I put this in after washing my hair and blow dry my hair piece by piece to get a smooth straight style. I do not wash my hair everyday and this keeps my hair looking great but not oily. I just quickly go over my hair with a straightening iron the next day.

This is the best straightening product I have ever used. After years of trying most everything, I was ready to give up. Everything either dried out my hair, made it greasy, made it frizzier, or a lovely combination of all 3. This makes my hair SUPER shiny, so soft, and gets rid of any frizz. I have medium-thick curly hair that gets horribly frizzy during the summer, but this gets rid of all of those problems. And since it's thick, a little goes a long way, so I think it is totally worth the price.

This is one of my most used products. I'm obsessed. You have to use heat to get it to work well, and I am kind of a product junkie so I use a lot of it when I use it. My hairs dries less frizzy than normal, and after I straighten it--it doesn't get much better. Smells fine.

I do have thick, wavy-ish hair. My hairdresser did stress that it would weigh my hair down (for me, that's a good thing). I wouldn't suggest it for fine or thin hair, but if you have a lot of hair-- DEFINITELY invest in some!

I have fine hair and cannot use alot of products because they can leave my hair dull, limp, and greasy. This product leaves my hair shiny, healthy looking and does not weigh my hair down at all. I do spray on root lifter product also when I use this. This is a must for humid summer days to keep away the frizzies.

I have the unfortunate luck of having frizzy, slightly curly, very fine hair. It's always a challenge trying to find a product that will straighten and tame without weighing it down or making it look greasy. I received a small bottle of Straight as a gift and was reluctant to use it, as I haven't had any luck with products with a gel-like consistency. Gave it a shot, though, and I love the stuff! I still have to use a flat iron after blow-drying, contrary to the bottle's claims, but I expected that. My hair is shiny and straight after use and I still maintain volume. As with all Bumble and Bumble products, this stuff is expensive, but I only need to use dime-sized dollop for my long hair. Totally worth it.

The new stylist I've been going to the last year has been using this on me, but I hadn't purchased it since I have a drawer of silkening products (Biosilk, Chi, B&B Defrizz) that I thought did the same thing. Based on the positive reviews I read on Makeup Alley, I finally decided to splurge on this and used it for the first time today. Wow! This really is like a miracle in a tube for straightening out my thick, wavy hair.


It left my hair sleek and shiny, without any frizz, and my hair feels so soft. It also is making my dyed gray hairs lie down and behave. I honestly don't think I will need to even use my flat iron.


Also, if you check out the B&B website, there is a decent video for this product that gives you a rough idea of how much to use in your hair and how to use it (not on roots as much, but rather from the middle of the strands down). The model in the video has really long hair and they used a lot of product on her, so I used about half that amount on my hair (a few inches below my ears) and it worked well.



Yes, this is pricey, but I'm kicking myself for not having tried it sooner! Wonderful product!

I really like this straightening gel. My esthetician gave me a travel size tube because she found it ineffective on her hair but thought I might like it. My hair is very thick and with a definite wave to it. The product is nice and non-sticky, has no fragrance (that I can detect anyway) and does a very good job at removing waves during a blow-dri. I do follow-up the drying with straightening iron. What I like about this product is that it doesn't add any volume, just makes it easier for you to straighten your hair. If you have fine hair and are looking for more volume, I wouldn't recommend this but it's great for normal to thick hair. The full size tube has a dispenser cap which makes it easy to control the amount of product and it doesn't leave an artificial feel to your strands. A keeper for me.

This stuff is awesome! I recently got a perm and I hate it. My stylist recommended this to me and I love it! I put it in my hair when it is wet/damp and blow dry sections of my hair. It works also as a heat protectant as it has silicone in it. This is a very good product and a little goes a long way. I did an experiment too to make sure this stuff was worth the money. I blow dried my hair without the straight and it was not as straight as it gets when I do put in the straight. I would recommend to anyone who wants to make their curly/wavy hair straight.

It's all right, but nothing special. I bought it when I had long hair and wasn't at all happy with it -- too thick to work through long hair if you use sparingly, but if you put too much, it gets your hair all gunky. But I pulled it back out when I chopped all my hair off (pixie cut) and was pretty happy with it for short hair. I wouldn't buy it again -- there are other products I like better for this -- but I liked it well enough to finish off the travel size tube on my short hair. Didn't seem to be harming my hair, anyway.

I have been using this for over 3 years now, and it does wonders for my over-processed wavy hair! I live in FL, so I needed something to hold up in the humidity. Works! I rarely flat iron cause this does such a wonderful job leaving my hair straight and shiny. Of course, I do use a dab of Moroccan Oil first in my damp hair. So that contributes. But, all in all, my hair was a mess before I found B&B! It is pricey, but a little goes a long way! I will repurchase ;o) Here is a pic with both mentioned products in my hair and no flat iron. Sorry, it is a web cam shot, so the quality is not 100%.

I usually use this along side my DeFrizz and do notice a big difference in the softness of my hair when I pair the two as opposed to using only one. It has helped get my hair straighter while I blow dry; still get some frizz that needs to be tamed with Chi though. Also you have to be careful about how much you use as it's a very thick and sticky consistency.
