excellent lightweight smoothing cream, but tests on animals

The only problem I have with this product is that the company conducts animal testing which is unecessary. There are so many quality companies that have abandoned animal testing that I will look elsewhere. It is also heavily fragranced-kind of a coconut smell. I got a sample of this and rubbed a nickel size into my palms and smoothed my baby fine shoulder length hair. I tried it both on damp h...read moreair, which I blowed out and dry hair that was frizzing. It worked great. It smoothed my hair pretty much all day without weighing it down or looking greasy (note the directions say NOT to put it on the ends of your hair). It is very inexpensive. Overall it is quality product. I would use it regularly if Dove stopped animal testing.

Eliminates Frizz

This leave in cream moisturized my hair and eliminated any frizz. It also brought out any curls hidden within my thick hair. If I had thin hair though, it would have made it very, very greasy. Luckily, I have thick hair and it was purchased at a local drugstore so was cheap and overall, worked for me.

It's drug store quality

I received a few samples of this product and made the mistake of running a small amount from shaft to tip. I had to wash it out and start over. Perhaps it was the texture of my hair (thinner) but I found that it works good on just your ends. Not great but good. It had a nice fresh smell. When it comes to your hair, I believe you get what you pay for

Great leave in product

My hair has been through a lot and is very bleach damaged and over processed. I use a lot of oils and leave in products but my hair was still feeling thirsty so I picked this up as I wanted to try a creamy product to nourish it. This is exactly what my routine was missing. I have coarse curly hair naturally so it can handle a lot of product. This made my hair a lot softer, smoother, and it smells great. If you have thinner hair I would use this very sparingly though.

Lightweight and frizz control

I have thick curly long hair, this product not only smells great but feels amazing and leaves my hair smooth. I have tried many leave in conditioners that leave my hair sticky or leave residue behind. But this product will leave my hair frizz free and smooth without having to use any other hair product.

Not a bad product, but...

the company does tests on animals, and for me if I am going to actually buy a full size product, I will definitely go with a product that is cruelty-free. I have dry, frizzy hair, and most of the time I wear my hair in a right bun so that does not help it either, but I am required to wear it that way due to my job. I am on the last drop of this product and I have noticed that it does help to maint...read moreain my frizzy hair, I found it to be very moisturizing as well. Another thing is it does not weigh my hair down, and even in humid conditions it fights the frizz. As I said earlier I like the product but I also know that I can find another product that does the same job, from a company that does not believe in testing on animals.
