This was the first product I tried for faster blowdry times and protection, but after trying a few others, I noticed a difference. I would definitely repurchase this one due to its effectiveness in...

You must be VERY careful with how much you use, as a little bit really does go a long way. With that being said, even a 'little' bit caused my hair to go limp and keep from holding a curl. And mind...

Not sure if they changed the formula because it had used to work on my hair--well not anymore. I have to hold my breath when I spray it, as it makes me sneeze. My nose isn't normally sensitive to...

I was disappointed in this. First of all, it smells horrible! Its some sort of lime-ish scent. It also didn't speed up the drying time. It actually seemed to take longer to blow dry. My hair felt...

We use a ton of this in the salon that I work in! Speeds up drying time and really helps you get a smoother blowout. I've noticed on two people that I didn't need to flat iron their hair after,...

Garbage. Left my fine hair limp and greasy looking no matter how little I used of it. Also made my scalp itch. No difference detected in so called 'pillow-proofness'.

My hair is fine, but lots of it,coloured and gets quite greasy pretty quickly at the roots. I bought this initially as a way of speeding up my blow dry time. But it's best feature for me is that it...

It does make my curls last longer and makes my hair shiny so it is a good primer, however I won't buy it again because the smell is way too overpowering!! I'm not sensitive to smell at all but this...

This product is a light spray that has a light chemical floral scent which does not linger. It does help to minimize my blow dry time without frizzing my hair. But it leaves my hair flat and limp...

I cannot live without this stuff. I spray it in right before I blow dry and I can honestly tell a difference. My hair feels less frizzy and it speeds up the blow dry time. My dads girlfriend gave...

I found the smell to be HORRIBLE. I didn't find it cut down in drying time. I found it made my hair feel dry and sticky.
