This is one of those products that has been around for a long time (since 1990), is a cult favorite, but doesn’t get mentioned as much anymore in this day & age of influencers and endless new products...Read more

I have used this for many years. Just a little pump on my damp hair and combed through before styling. I can't imagine using anything else to combat frizz, and help to set my styling.
