Advantages: cheap, small, long lasting

Disadvantages: doesn't keep me frizz free all day

As someone with thick, naturally curly hair I can find that frizz can be a huge problem for me, especially in the winter, going in and out of the wind and rain, putting on and taking off my hat. Complete nightmare. I am therefore always on the look out for that product which will solve my frizz problem.

The first thing I usually notice when I use a new product is how sticky it is, I found that this product wasn't overly sticky and actually had a smooth consistency, when applied it didn't leave my hair looking too greasy or full of product, it looks quite natural actually which I was really pleased with. I had to use more than was recommended on the packaging, my hair is shoulder length and 2 to 4 pumps on dry hair would not have been enough for me. I found that when using it on dry hair I had to use a lot more and although my hair didn't look greasy it certainly felt heavier than it usually does. I've actually found that the best results for me using this product come with applying it to wet hair, usually about 10 pumps required for my whole head, then blow dry and if necessary then add a tiny amount to any stray frizzy ends.

I wouldn't say that this product has completely solved my frizzy hair problem, but it has certainly helped. I've found that if I get caught in the rain when my hair naturally dries there is a small amount of frizz, even if I've used this product, there is also a small amount of frizz if I have been wearing a hat. Because the bottle is so small I've taken to carrying it in my handbag and that way in the event of a frizz attack I can reapply a small amount and the problem is resolved.

It's not too expensive and a bottle lasts me a lot longer than I initially expected it to, I usually have to buy a new bottle every 6 weeks.

Summary: cheap and has a good go and keeping you frizz free
