brilliant™ Universal Styling Cream

For reference, I have thin color treated pin-straight short to medium length hair that never seems to want to cooperate with me. I have thin hair, but a lot of it. I had a stylist recommend this to me about 12 years ago. I have used & adored it ever since. It takes such a small amount that the bottle lasts me quite a while so the price is definitely worth it for me. I apply this on damp hair (almost but not quite dry) Its the last product I use before blow drying my hair. This is the ONLY product I've found that actually holds my style in after blow drying. It adds shine & hold for more than a day. Its VERY easy to use too much of the product so if you're just trying it out & have short or fine hair, use less than a pea sized amount, focusing on ends. You don't want to apply this anywhere near your roots as it can add too much shine & weight if you use too much. I don't know what I'd do if Aveda ever discontinued this product because nothing compares to it!
