Nothing makes my coarse, wavy hair look better than this!

by amishprincess (8 reviews)
This product is great for getting your hair to lay straight all day long! What I love about this product versus other cheaper ones is that my hair looks good with minimal effort and as the day wears on, my hair looks the same. Other products tend to make my hair look greasy/stringy as the day wears on. This product keeps it looking as good as if I just blew it straight. It is well worth the price, especially when you can get your hands on the larger size.11/12/2007

    Smells nice, but not great for unruly hair in an arrid climate

    by brunktice (8 reviews)
    I have thick wavy hair and in the arrid climate where I live, this just doesn't do the trick for me. It works great when I am in moisture rich areas like Miami or in Caaifornia, but here in the Rocky Mountains it just dries my hair out even more.

November 29, 2007, 2:53 pm I have thick wavy hair and in the arrid climate where I live, this just doesn't do the trick for me. It works great when I am in moisture rich areas like Miami or in Caaifornia, but here in the Rocky Mountains it just dries my hair out even more. I prefer a Sebastian product over this one for the same effect at home and it has a conditioning agent as well. Not a bad product by any means, but not a good one for me. Love the Phytobrush shampoo though! November 29, 2007, 2:53 pm

It is hard to find products that do not weigh my hair down. I use a pea size drop of this product and it keeps my hair frizz free without weighing it down. I add a little mousse for hold.

    The best humidity defense for hair!

    This lightweight gel is the absolute best for straightening curly hair and keeping it straight & frizz-free. I initially purchased a travel size to take on a trip to Italy and Greece.

I initially purchased a travel size to take on a trip to Italy and Greece. I loved it so much I am on my 3rd tube. I have never finished a bottle of hair product in my life before this! My naturally curly hair has stayed wonderfully straight during summers in the Hudson River Valley, New York and hot sticky Alabama summers. This stuff is great! November 14, 2007, 12:05 pm

    Great for hair with natural wave!

    I have natural wavy hair but don't always want to wear it with a wavy look. I tried other products on my hair to get a "smooth" look but ended up with frizz. NO frizz with this.

NO frizz with this. Hair is very soft but manageable and easy to style any way you want. No fighting the wave unless you want to have wave in your style-works for that, too! Little goes a long way.

November 12, 2007, 4:46 pm I never thought I could go from a curly haired girl to a straight haired diva until I heard the buzz about this product out of France that actually aids in relaxing your hair (without all the damaging chemicals and overpriced trip to the salon) to achieve a smooth, silky and sleek look. Since this product 1st hit the US markets, I have been using it - over the years, I strayed but I always come back. You can't beat the best. November 12, 2007, 4:46 pm

    Agree with all the other reviewers!

    by madeup (5 reviews)
    This is the best product out there for taming frizzy hair and making flat ironing easier. I also love that it doesn't have a strong fragrance. Most of the PHYTO products deliver as promised, but this really is the best. May 20, 2008, 7:48 am

    I'm so glad I found this!

    by natalierb (159 reviews)
    I have extremely curly hair which I straighten with my Sedu flat iron. My hair will curl easily if I end up in a hot or humid place. I put a little bit of the balm in my hair and my hair stays put, and also does not frizz up. A little of this stuff goes a long way. Great quality, worth every penny! April 24, 2008, 4:15 pm

    I love this stuff!!

    This stuff really works. I have wavy hair that I straighten everyday. All I have to do is rub this on my wet hair and it's basically straight. It only takes me 3 minutes to quickly run the iron through my hair and I'm good to go. On days when I'm in a hurry, I don't even need to straight my hair, because this product is jus...

  • Manufacturer's Product Description

  • Naturally frizzy hair is generally dry and difficult to style. It may even become ultra-dry after straightening and heat-styling. Highly sensitive to humidity, frizzy hair needs to be relaxed with moisturizing and coating products that will gently smooth the hair fiber while protecting it from breakage. Naturally curly hair will also benefit from these hydrating and shielding properties. The PHYTO Solution: Moisturize and coat the hair to restore shine and softness, and strengthen hair to adapt to external stress factors.
