Sebastian Potion 9 did nothing for my hair but make it frizzy. My hair feels and looks so much better when I use my regular, less expensive leave-in.

I liked this product in the first week of use, but then I noticed that it was making my hair frizzier! I gave a 1 for packaging...my metal tube cracked down the side, so product kept oozing out! ...

I bought this after reading many rave reviews on various forums. The packaging is kind of weird - orange gooey potion in a metallic tube, but it makes for easy dispensing. I have an oily scalp...

This is the BEST leave-in conditioner I have EVER used on my fine, limp, wavy hair! It is like, part conditioner, part gel. Sometimes, I use a gel along with this; other times, I use Potion 9 by...

I have the sally's version and it's not too bad. It dries crunchy on me, but I think it's because I use it on damp hair. But I find if I run my fingers through my hair, the crunchiness subsides....

I've been using this for almost 7 years. I like to use it before blowdrying because it detangles and softens. I think it works the best on damp hair. This is good stuff.

I thought this product was going to be really moisturizing, but i was wrong. It has the feel of a hair gel, and dries like one too. It left my hair crunchy not moisturized at all. This did not work...

I use the Sally's knockoff, but it works just as well. Has kind of a banana-y scent. Gives my dry, colored hair shine and smoothness. I think it only makes your hair crunchy if you use too much- a...
