Not my favorite

This was recommended to me a long time ago and I didn't like it. The waxy feeling doesn't mix well with my hair.

Better than Aveda Hang Straight

Aveda Hang Straight did not work at all for my husband's stubborn hair, and when he went back to an Aveda store for something else, he found out that Hang Straight has been discontinued. A sales associate recommended him this Defining Whip, and we liked the demonstration. It helps his front hair to stay straight. It works like wax but without a greasy feeling or a stinky scent. I just wish it was a bit more affordable or the tub was bigger.

Smooths flyaways

I mostly use this on just a few flyaways, and it works pretty well. I like that it's not sticky and doesn't weigh down my hair unless i use too much :) I don't feel like it holds long enough sometimes though

Great For Shorter Hair!

I love this product to add some texture and dimension to my hair when its shorter and has more layers. I use a light layer on my hands and work it through the back to piece out the little pieces of hair to give my layers more dimension/separation. It works really great!

flyaways

Great for taming flyaways, and does make my hair look sleek and finished. Like other reviewers said, it is not a long-lasting hold. I usually throw it in my bag to touch up the flyaways if I go out after work.

Easy to use, not too heavy.

I've had a jar of this for over a year and it's barely 1/2 empty. I use it on particularly difficult 'fly away' days to calm down the static. It also adds a little shine, definition and isn't too heavy

Yummy Yummy~

This is so smooth and silky. My husband uses it as a gel, but it's light enough for me to use as a styling aid. Wonderful. The smell is nice too, not as strong as most Aveda products.

Great for calming fly-aways and adding definition.

I have longer hair and I use this to tame down my fly aways after blow drying. It also helps to make my style look sleeker. It is not sticky at all, and it is possible to comb through. It does not hold like a wax or pomade, but is a soft defining cream.

Great for light stying

Not for heavy hold, but the smell is to die for. If you just need a little extra something this is the stuff for you, and its not tested on animals.
