This product is the cure for blah blowouts. No more time will be wasted or money spent on products that claim to do what this one actually does. My blow dry was almost effortless and the results amazing. My hair was immediately smooth, soft, silky and hydrated with movement! I’m definitely selling or giving away all of my other blow out products. I’m going to hoard this one in case Alterna breaks my heart and discontinues it.

Beware! "New Formulation" noticeably lackluster
If you have loved this product in the past, I'm not sure you will love it any more. I loved how nourished and polished my hair felt after applying a pea-sized amount as directed after blow drying my hair. It restored a healthy shine and gave my hairstyle a gentle shaping hold as well. I noticed that that the product had new packaging but couldn't wait to have more of this amazing stuff. Unfortunately, the product has been reformulated, and my hair no longer gets that healthy, nourished shine that I loved. It's amazing how much of a difference deleting a couple of ingredients makes. This is an expensive disappointment

Works for thin hair too
It’s advertised for medium- thick hair but I have thin hair and it works just as well for me too, doesn’t weigh my hair down or make it more greasy. Love how fast and frizz free my hair blow-dries with this stuff

GREASY - DO NOT BUY
This product made my hair feel so greasy and gross. Beware! I am shocked as there were so many good reviews.
