Alterna Haircare

Comes out like a thick cream/butter. When you rub it in your hands it turns into an oil. It leaves my hair with a funny texture but i like it...helps control my flyaways and frizz...only thing i dont like is that it doesnt spread easily so i feel like i use more then i should which means i go thru it a lot....but if i use too much it leaves my hair oily looking, so it needs to be used as balanced as possible.....definite repurchase

Yes! I have fine, thinning, hair that is prone to be frizzy in a really unfortunate way, it's the kind of frizz that comes with hair that is miniaturized as it grows over time (hair loss related). I have tried hot irons to smooth, no luck. I've tried a lot of products from organic coconut oil to a wide variety of commercially available products & this is THE ONE that actually does something for the frizz. My hair looks smooth & silky & you wouldn't guess it's natural inclination to see me after I use this product. I only need a very small amount for good effect. I don't find it weighs my hair down or makes it need more frequent washing. I would definitely buy it again & highly recommend!

One of the only oils I can use a lot of and my hair just soaks it up, never gets too oily. Scent is neutral, I don't really notice it. Seems to make my hair shinier and easier to manage. Doesn't make a massive difference but it is a nice addition to other moisturizers/protectants I use. Canadians you can get this at winners quite often for $12.99 instead of the $34 at salons. Would repurchase.
Edit - So I bumped this up to a 5, I am on my second bottle and have found this is good enough to be the only product I can use alone when straightening. I am someone who prefers to layer products but I can definitely use just this on my coarse damaged hair and end up with smooth straight soft hair. I do prefer to use some Drybar prep and prime and a little bit of a blowdry product (sometimes alterna CC, sometimes bumble and bumble etc) with it but it certainly works well alone.

This is a great product since it doubles as a leave in conditioner and heat protecter. I don't heat style often, but do not have any damage since using this product. A little bit goes a long way.

This has to be the worst conditioner ever. As soon as I applied it in the shower, my hair felt immediately coarse, dry and TANGLED, to the point where it was almost impossible to work it through to the ends. After thorough rinsing, applying a detangling spray and leave-in conditioner, I was still unable to pull a comb through without tugging on great knots of matted hair, which had to be tugged and, in some cases, cut out.

Thinking that maybe it was just a bad mix with my current shampoo, I foolishly put myself through the same ordeal with two other shampoos, withe the same horrible results each time. Never again!
