It's the best, and it smells so good without being overpowering. I've even gotten my husband hooked on it." —Peebles9

I find that with other oils my hair needs less amount to achieve the desired look. It's good, it makes my curls feel protected and locked in moisture for at least four to five days before having to reapply some hydration...When I blow out my hair, I use this afterward for some shine and sealing.

I bought this stuff on a whim because I'm always in the market for products that promise to smooth frizz and enable easier blowouts. My hair is almost shoulder-length and has been through a lot of damaging bleach and harsh keratin treatments. Honestly, I was shocked at how well this worked. After one use (left it in for about a minute and followed with normal conditioner), my hair was so easy to blow-dry. It came out straight with just a paddle brush and I was able to skip the flat iron. It still had bounce and volume, though. I'm a huge fan!" —LisaG

It detangles, hydrates, gives shine and heat protection, as well as a myriad of other things including helping hair air and blow dry faster. This doesn’t weigh my hair down AT ALL. I spray it on generously with wet/damp hair, let my hair mostly air dry, and spray it all over my hair again before I dry it. I’ll even spray it a couple times afterward for shine. I never have frizzy hair, even during summer humidity, and my hair is strong and growing faster. If you’re on the fence about this just buy it. You absolutely will not regret it!!" —Stay Trippy
