February 22, 2008, 8:01 am Si como yo tienes adiccion a las peluquerias y estilistas conoceras este producto desde hace mucho tiempo. La verdad es que yo lo conoci atraves de mi madre que tambien es una gran aficionada a los cambios de look. Potion 9 es, sin lugar a duda uno de los mejores productos para trabajar tu pelo en casa.Hace el cabello manejable y tu peinado quedara perfecto un par de dias. La parte negativa es que no te puedes pasar de la cantidad que aplicas,tamano de un guisante,si te pasas estas perdida.Tu pelo se quedara lacio y sin gracia alguna practicamente en horas.5 of 7 people found this review helpful.

My favorite
by DorothyGale (1 review)I have fine, thin, curly/wavy, frizzy hair. I literally thought I had the worst hair in the world up until I discovered #9 about 4 years ago.

November 20, 2007, 5:22 pm I have fine, thin, curly/wavy, frizzy hair. I literally thought I had the worst hair in the world up until I discovered #9 about 4 years ago. I have used this practically every day since I first bought it. Sometimes I stray (because I am a beauty product junkie!), but every time, I end up going right back to the Sebastian. I apply a tiny pea-size dot to damp hair and allow to air-dry. It smooths my curls and makes my hair look and feel healthy. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a bit of moisture, a bit of hold and a lot of frizz-control.4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

Oldie, but Goodie
by Louellen (1 review)This product has been around for ages. My hairdresser recommended it because my curly hair was dry from color processing. He said he used it for his over-processed hair. If you use only a small amount, your hair will not be greasy or weighed down. Used after each shampoo, it helps keep my hair soft and flexible. I would... May 28, 2008, 8:26 am This product has been around for ages. My hairdresser recommended it because my curly hair was dry from color processing. He said he used it for his over-processed hair. If you use only a small amount, your hair will not be greasy or weighed down. Used after each shampoo, it helps keep my hair soft and flexible. I would prefer a plastic tube because, as other reviewers have said, it doesn't travel well. I put a small amount in a plastic bottle fot travel. For me, it is still worth the price.3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

just bought this
by DarvaSutra (31 reviews)
After reading everyone's comments I bought this last week. Expensive, but a little goes a long way. It's worked well for me when I've run a small amount through my wet hair and cruched it, leaves nice waves in my fairly straight hair and helps with gloss and a bit of moisture, doesn't feel icky in my hair, either.

It's worked well for me when I've run a small amount through my wet hair and cruched it, leaves nice waves in my fairly straight hair and helps with gloss and a bit of moisture, doesn't feel icky in my hair, either. I think I'll keep using it for more natural everyday styles, but go back to stonger styling products when I'm straightening or curling in a big way. This is a really great find, can't believe I hadn't heard about it before.3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

Just came back to it!
by copper (3 reviews)I used potion 9 on my waist long hair all through the late 90's and into the early 00's. Then when my hair was very short, I didn't use any leave-in conditioner.

Now that it's long again, I went back to potion 9 last month and got 3 compliments on my hair the first day. It makes my hair soft, shiney, manageable...I can't believe how much better my hair is looking after just one month. Everyone needs to try this product.3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

Great for Straight or Wavy!
by EricaB (21 reviews)I have wavy hair that I straighten sometimes, and I use Potion 9 on my damp hair with either style. For straightening, it provides light hold without feeling sticky or too silicone-y (which I hate!) and since it has vitamins and all that in it, it probably helps make it a little more protected while I am blow-drying and fl... November 27, 2007, 10:24 am I have wavy hair that I straighten sometimes, and I use Potion 9 on my damp hair with either style. For straightening, it provides light hold without feeling sticky or too silicone-y (which I hate!) and since it has vitamins and all that in it, it probably helps make it a little more protected while I am blow-drying and flat ironing. I also use it right out of the shower before scrunching my waves...for my hair, the light hold is fine, but for girls with thicker/curlier hair, you might need to mix in some mousse or something with stronger hold. I love this product because it works well, and also doesn't cost a ton. You don't even need to use much, so it lasts awhile too!3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

A good classic product- still around!
by ottawa00 (20 reviews)
Overall this product is quite good for dry hair and contains 9 different oils and moisturizers. It works well on wavy and curly hair and as others have mentioned do not use too much. Now I still find the tube format annoying as it can easily leak and is not great for travelling as it is a metal tube. But at some salons I ha... May 21, 2008, 1:59 am Overall this product is quite good for dry hair and contains 9 different oils and moisturizers. It works well on wavy and curly hair and as others have mentioned do not use too much. Now I still find the tube format annoying as it can easily leak and is not great for travelling as it is a metal tube. But at some salons I have seen they have the larger size 500ml? about and it comes in a tub with a pump- so I think you would waste less that way as well.2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

Still The Best
by shanamo (11 reviews)I remember this product being the latest greatest thing back in the early 80's, when I was just becoming the age to buy hair products. I have tried many different serums, lotions, gels, and mouses since, and this product is still the best. It's like a leave-in conditioner and styling creme in one. It leaves your hair sof... May 1, 2008, 10:21 am I remember this product being the latest greatest thing back in the early 80's, when I was just becoming the age to buy hair products. I have tried many different serums, lotions, gels, and mouses since, and this product is still the best. It's like a leave-in conditioner and styling creme in one. It leaves your hair soft and silky, without feeling like it has any product in it. My husband keeps stealing it from me.2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

December 15, 2007, 4:51 am I have long curly (not tight curls) hair and its been hard to find the best products for it. So what i have now, which seems to be working great is to wash hair (lots of conditioner) then scrunch with a towel to remove excess water then scrunch in Potion 9 and then follow with scrunching in Wired then letting it air dry with the occasional root to tip scrunching throughout the morning.2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

Manufacturer's Product Description
- An exotic trip to the Amazon rainforest inspired a hair product idea: a magical cream-gel infused with renewable and sustainable botanical extracts, but 2, 3 or even 4 were not enough. This potion needed 9 essential extracts to help restore lost moisture, revitalize damage and rejuvenate the condition of hair. The magic “9” are: jojoba seed oil, olive oil, evening primrose oil, rice bran oil, willow bark extract and green tea leaf extract. And the magic doesn’t stop there. This treatment is also wearable, making it perfect for styling hair. With Potion 9, Sebastian created an original category for the hair industry: wearable treatment. Even not it has never been duplicated. Magic never is!
