Well I'm nearly done with my first tube and thought it was time to review the wonder that is B&B Brilliantine. Both B&B description and directions are very vague so I can see how some people might...

My hairstylist uses this and I kept buying drugstore products thinking they would create the same effect (slightly piecy, super shiny) for less money than Brilliantine. I finally admitted defeat...

I recently got my hair cut very short from about halfway down my back. It's pretty thick and my stylist put some of this into it after the cut. I decided to buy it because I liked how it looked and...

I really love this stuff...I have VERY thick hair of medium length, and this stuff somehow makes my hair lighter and silkier without making it greasy (like a lot of cyclomethicone or "shine"...

I love this product! I smooth a pea sized amount on my fine wave hair after styling and it a gives it a shiny, piece-y finish. Does not weigh my hair down.

I was actually pretty disapointed with this at first, but I have really, really grown to love it. Its like a more concentrated version of B&b's Grooming Creme, if you are familiar with that. It...

Wow... love to mix this with Defrizz for my overprocessed, dry, crunchy, dull, lifeless hair... I let air dry and I am left with soft silky sexy bedhead! I do have natural wave and this seems to...

Like the Kiehls Silk Groom, only not as rich. I use this when I cannot be bothered to blowdry my long straight hair. I put some in, dry the worst off my hair and then tie it up in a bun and after a...

Gives that "second day" hair look even if you just washed your hair. It isn't sticky or heavy, and one tube will last forever. (Just don't use too much, or your hair will look greasy.) It helps...

I do what my hairstylist taught me: Use it as a finishing treatment. I rub a dime-size amount in my palms, and smooth it over my freshly blown-straight hair. I make sure to include my flipped ends...

You know those girls with thick shiny hair that always lays perfectly and never gets frizzy? Well I do not have that hair, but Brilliantine gets it pretty close. I have a ton of thick hair, but...

I rub a pea-sized drop of Brilliantine through my towel-dried hair, then spritz with surf spray, and I'm loving my hair! Shiny, wavy, not frizzy. I definitely have to clarify once a week to keep...

I've had this product for the last 3 years. It's pretty good but when I used a generous amount, my hair was greasy and looked limp/droopy/blah. However, it does give a nice piecy/choppy/tousled bed...

Gives you that sexy, messy, fun, look. Kind of like if you just came out of a convertible riding with the top down minus the tangles. However, you only need a TINY DROP of this product and it does...
