    When my hair used to be short and straight, I would use this to create texture and sometimes a soft 'spikeyness' that would last all day and smell like a delicious perfume. I loved this product...

    Too bad I can't give zero lippies. I really wanted to like this product, since on paper it seems that it would tame my dry curly ends. However, I hate it! I couldn't figure out how to distribute...

    Love it! Love it! Love it! It works great on my very fine hair and does really well to bulk it up when it's clean and limp. It is also great to use for that messed up look once you have styled...

    This is my <b>favorite styling product</b> for my thick, unruly, curly Sicilian hair! After blowdrying, I melt a little bit of Self Control in my hands and distribute it on the driest, most...

    I tried some of this while staying at a friend's house and as soon as I returned, I went and got my own stick. Usually, I'm a Murray's Pomade kind of gal, and while due to packaging/etc it may...

    I love this product. It does cost more than I care to spend, however, I have found that I keep buying products for 5-7 dollars each and do not end up liking them or using them. I just got this...

    This is an okay pomade. I love the scent as with all Aveda products, but it seems to be just a little bit too greasy, or grease down by the end of the day. Also it tends to dry out mid-stick and...

    I've used this product for a while, and I still haven't made up my mind about it. I love the smell, but I'm definitely an Aveda smell junkie! It's sort of hard to apply, I wish the packaging was...

    I only ever use TWO products on my hair when I style. The Aveda Self-Control is one of them. I have very soft light blonde shoulder length layered hair with a fringe. Medium thickness. I always...

    I don't use this stuff on my hair. I bought the miniature chapstick-sized version to control my eyebrows. For this purpose it works really well. I can see where other reviewers didn't like it...

    I use this product to maintain my bangs. I've got naturally wavy hair and if I left my bangs alone, I'd have frizzy little curls. Ick. Self Control is great...if you know how to use it. A little...

    The smell is rather overpowering. I think I probably wouldn't like any pomade high shine product but this thing does work as it advertises provided you want the high gloss lick. It doesn't tame my...

    I seriously, seriously dislike this product. It smells OK (I like the "hippie natural smell") but it's sticky, weighs hair down, drying, and just generally feels like I'm putting some really weird...

    I'm not crazy about this. I found the scent overpowering, even when used in small amounts. My tube also went from firm (making it easy to get a small amount) to totally gooey -- so gooey it oozed...

    I didn't care for this product at all. Whoever thought putting a hair care product in the design of a deodorant stick did not think it through. It is impossible to apply the right amount--I always...
