Advantages: It actually works!

Disadvantages: Bottle can get a bit clogged but oh well.

I don't know about you but, I find it a real war trying to make my curly hair look styled not frizzy each morning. This creme, I found was the best anti-frizz antidote to smooth out my rebellious locks.

However...
It does leave your hands sticky after application and it also tends to make them sparkly but I don't find that necessarily a negative.

The fix:
JUST WASH YOUR HANDS!

I also found that if you have long, thick hair the small amount suggested is not enough for the whole of your hair.

Tip if your hair is long and unruly (like mine!):
Split your hair in two, like you're going to wear it in bunches.
Then wet your hands under a tap and dampen each side.
Then get a broad-bean-sized amount and twist it into your hair - half a bean per side!

I find this makes hair very silky smooth.

This product also really brings out my curls best when used with the L'Oreal Elvive Styling mousse - the pink one!

Another bad bit:
If over-used your hair will get flaky bits in it that look, inconveniently, like dandruff.

The fix:
So use it one day and wash your hair the next, or put it up if you're lazy like me!!

The problem of the packaging:
The thing about this bottle is that after a while the top gets clogged up. If you can't be bothered to clean it every time you use this product (I can't!) I'm afraid that you just have to accept that every so often you'll get a clump squirted out into your hand. But hey, nothing's perfect!

Hope this review has been vaguely useful!

Summary: Makes naf hair nice hair!
