Effectiveness

Pros:

Cons:

• "However, I did end up returning it because I just don’t want to keep using a product with silicone in it."

• "It did pretty much nothing when reapplied the second/third day."
• "Makes my hair frizzy when it dries."
• "Unfortunately the smell of the shampoo and conditioner are not for me and when I used them (multiple times to make sure) my scalp would feel as if it was burning."
• "This leaves my hair frizzy."
• "This styler may be cheaper than other brands, but doesn’t work. For curly hair, this left my hair crispy, heavy, and greasy."
