Gives my fine, medium length hair lots of shine and makes it super manageable. This and the Phomollient styling product work very well together. Not greasy, very lightweight. LOVE.

I like this product better than the Kerastase thermique products (Ciment thermique and Chroma thermique). Best thing about that is that it is half the price of the Kerastase counterparts!
