    Once upon a time, I was a hair baddie. I blowdried it and straightened it and washed it too much and coloured it and bleached it until it was a big ol' frizzy nest. I bought this one time in a...

    I am so bummed that this was discontinued. Although it seems like a pretty basic, no frills product, something just made it click with my hair. I've tried other similar products which don't work...

    This product does exactly what it says. Follow the directions. I have thick hair that is a bit coarse and I keep coming back to this because it works best. And it DEFINITELY reduces your styling...

    Most Frieda products are worth their weight in gold, but not this one. Didn't really do anything for me hair. I think other newer products and new technology have replaced this product.

    I always come back to this protectant spray. It seems to help keep frizzies at bay when I blowdry. I have tried other similar products, and my curly hair seems to like this. There are 'cones in...

    I like this product a lot because it really does reduce the time I have to spend on blow-drying my hair. I have pretty strong medium lenght hair, and I straighten it out with a round brush almost...

    This does absolutely nothing. At all. There is no difference in my hair before or after trying this product. It was a waste of money and I should have known better.

    In a word, don't like this stuff. Where did they get 5 minutes from? It still took me the usual half hour to forty mins. of drying time putting this stuff on. I wouldn't recommend this for...

    I have fine, wavy hair that has a huge tendency to become frizzy. For most of my adult life, I've had to suffer with products that either did nothing for me (mousse)or were too heavy for my fine...

    I've used this on and off for years and I always come back to it. I consider it to be a protective spray and it does help the frizzies. Make sure to spray it on with your hair sopping wet.

    Well, here you get two reviews for the price of one: My hair is very fine and when it was in a chin-length bob, 5-minute manager didn't too terribly much for my very fine hair (which is actually...

    I have short hair so it works great for me. The key is to spray it on dripping wet hair, which I do before I even step out of shower. You can't even towel dry hair, or it does seem too stiff or...

    I wasn't too impressed with this. I didn't like the smell--it was like glue. My hair was still somehow fried after blow drying.
