Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

HALLELUJAH! Sorry, just had to get that out of the way. People are always complimenting me on my hair. "Oh it's so soft and shiny, I'm so jealous!" they say as they pet me. Yes, when properly cared for, fresh after a shower, my hair is very soft and shiny and straight. What they don't realize are the battles I fight on a daily basis to keep it looking ok. My hair is thin and baby fine and stick straight. It won't hold a curl to SAVE MY LIFE, it quickly becomes tangled, easily loses volume, becomes limp and lifeless and gets oily. I have to brush it ALL THE TIME. The worst problem is probably the static, especially in the winter. Every time I take off my coat it's like I'm back in 8th grade science class with my hand on the Van de Graaff generator. They always used me as the guinea pig for those things because my hair responds the best (see pics for my hair type). I have tried EVERYTHING to reduce the static in my hair from expensive shampoos and conditioners to sandalwood hair brushes. I carry lotion and dryer sheets with me everywhere and when I'm in a pinch I pull out a dryer sheet or lather up my hands with lotion and rub some into the ends of my hair if I'm really desperate, but this either leaves my hair weighed down and dull/greasy or makes my head smell like apple mango tango. I bought this stuff in hopes of helping me with my problem prior to traveling to Arizona where my family lives for not one but 2 extended family photo shoots in a single weekend. It's even drier in AZ than where I live and I was worried my flying hair would ruin the picture. It arrived just in time and I was THRILLED that it actually worked! I will say for the price I was expecting a bigger bottle, but whatever. After I wash and dry my hair, I spray one spritz of this stuff onto my hair brush and brush the ends of my hair up about half way at most. After brushing half my head, I spray one more spray and do the other side. I don't use this on the top of my head at all. That seems to be enough to last for several hours or the whole day depending on what else I do. For example, if I walk through wind and need to brush my hair many times, I'll probably need more, but if I do, I usually will spray it on my palms, rub together and then rub my palms over the ends of my hair once more and that will do the trick! I still keep dryer sheets with me since they're easier to tote in my bag than this bottle of spray, but I find myself using less and less dryer sheets than I ever have! This spray is TRULY scentless, which is just fine with me! I like being able to choose what I want my hair/head to smell like while still eliminating static. I appreciate that. Yes, this is expensive. Yes, this will weigh your hair down if you use too much or spray it directly on your hair. Yes, the bottle is kinda small. BUT IT WORKS!!! I'm a huge fan and will probably be a lifelong user if it continues to work this well for me. For the record I did NOT receive this product for free or at a discount. Hope this helps!
