This product weighed my hair down, even using just a small dime size use! it felt really slick on my hair and it didn't make it shine and it just felt like molding wax without the hold to me. I...

A lot goes a long way. When I was brunette I almost never used this because it weighed down my hair and it was greasy no matter WHAT amount I put on and it takes a LOT to way my hair down. I just...

This has been a staple of mine ever since it came out. Even though it smells funny, it provides definition, soft control to my mid length cut. It's a thin creme, so it doesn't weigh down hair.

I'm on my umpteenth tube of this stuff. I've even dumped Bumble and Bumble Grooming Creme for this. My hair is extremely thick, naturally gray but colored dark brunette, dry, and short. Think...

It does do what it says... brings out the shine in my brown hair and does tame frizz. But unfortunately it leaves my hair a little limp and greasy feeling if you put too much (i think thats why the...

As much as I love the other products in the Brilliant Brunette line, this styling product is definitely a dud. It doesn't tame frizz, add shine/softness.... it doesn't really do anything to my hair...

I love this. It makes my curly hair very soft and shiny, especially when I put it in an updo. I personally love the vanilla-y smell, though it can be overwhelming to some. It doesn't do anything...

i use it to smooth flyaways, but then I realized i could do the same with regular body lotion. the smell is really strong and after a while it gets annoying. i'd say it's not worth your money.

I'm a HUGE fan of John Freida but this left a masque like layer on my hair. Didn't make it shiney at all. :( Shine shock is WAY better.

I have very thick, very curly hair and this product does a nice job making my crazy hair shiny and it kind of has a quality like a setting lottion. Not sure if it has any color enhancing qualities.

Doesn't do anything, doesn't make my hair shiny at all. Throwing water over my hair is cheaper.

My hair, while fine, tends to be a bit on the wiry side, and needs something to make it look smoother. I've tried pastes and waxes, putties and pomades, but they're too heavy and greasy, and make...

This is a decent finishing cream, but nothing spectacular. It has a thinner texture than John Frieda Secret Weapon, but it calms flyaways almost as well and adds a nice sheen (nothing...

I LOVE this stuff! Unlike a lot of styling pastes I've used, it's not too sticky... and unlike a lot of glossers, it not greasy. It puts together the best qualities of both of those... and makes...

I have to admit the main reason I haven't tossed this yet is primarily because of the smell---like freshly cleaned hair with a dash of chocolate. I dunno, it just smells good! I only use it on...

I couldn't live without this. It just makes my hair look amazing. I have fine hair and use a little bit if I let it air dry or just after blowdrying--it seperates the layers (but not in a harsh...

I have very poofy hair so this works well for me as it is a heavy cream. It leaves my hair piecey but I like that because I find it enhances my natural wave. I don't like that it doesn't leave my...

I find that this is a good product if you're trying to create separation, but as for smoothing, all it does it make my hair greasy.

I have fine hair and this works for me when I use a straightening iron. Otherwise, it makes my hair limp and flat. I'll keep looking for something better. Edited to say: I've had MUCH better...
