Miracle product
So glad Nordstrom carries this stuff! It’s actually a French pharmacy cult favorite I discovered on a trip a few years ago… it calms my frizzy hair and makes it sleek and smooth. Somehow during the pandemic, I ran out and completely forgot about Phyto Defrisant and I’ve had bad hair the whole time. Now I’ve got it again and (although it’s new packaging), it’s working the same miracles already and I will never be without it again. It works best with heat styling and round brush, but you can even see results if you apply to wet hair and air-dry.

dries my hair out
My hair is naturally dry, but wavy, frizzy and unruly. Works to straighten but make hair really straight and flat. I used it for 3 weeks and stopped when my hair started drying out. I do not recommend

Terrific product
I love how my hair turns out after using this. I even take it with me to the salon. It’s better than the blow dry balm they use.

Very good anti-frizz product
It definitely reduces frizz on even very humid and rainy days. However, it does not eliminate it and is fairly pricey.

Phyto Defrisant Works Wonders
I discovered this product last fall in Paris. It is a remarkable asset for the beauty and styling of my hair.
