Reviews

Good product

"It is impossible to find a scent free hair product that isnt drying like many of the alcohol based ones or too stiff like the wax or clay ones. This product os not drying and unscented so is perfect. Only suggestion is list the ingredients on the tube. Other than that is good and I feel US made products are still safer than many places so hope it doesn't have any dangerous chemicals in it !"

— Lisa D. (5/5)

Perfect for My Hair

"I love this styling product. It’s easy to use & it shapes my hair perfectly."

— Nada L. (5/5)

doesn't hold

"I have coarse hair and for me, this product doesn't work. It is good at keeping hair soft and not sticky or stiff, but doesn't hold the hair."

— Lauren M. (1/5)

"Love the hold and the scent and it's nongreasy."

— Barbara (5/5)

The smell

"Jury is still out on how well this product performs, but the smell is very off putting for me. I really wish I bought the unscented version."

— Chrisula T. (3/5)

Love it

"I LOVE THIS PRODUCT. I Have short curly har. Wish it gave a bit more hold."

— Gale H. (5/5)

Love it!

"This product is great for my baby fine hair. It has all-day hold on day one, and will help my hair bounce back on day two. My one wish is that the product came in a plastic tube rather than the hard-to-handle metal tube."

— Rebecca A. (5/5)

Perfect amount of hold!

"This styling cream is just right for my chin-length waves, love the feel, texture and hold."

— Mindy W. (5/5)

Perfect for me

"Perfect styling product. It does what it says ."

— Sarah F. (5/5)

Styling Cream

"This did not work well for my hair. Did not find any difference in styling after I used it. I also think it would be better for shorter hair."
