Exactly the subtle gentle change that I was looking for.
I wanted a subtle change and this product worked well for that. I liked how my hair looked and felt when I was done. My hair is straight and smooth to the top and front (the crown), and wavy to the sides and back, and at the very back of my neck gets very wavy. So what I did was apply the product for 20 minutes then washed it off and used the conditioner for 10 minutes then rinsed that off, then blow dried and flat ironed. Super smooth results. When I washed my hair for the first time as it air dried I could see a definite loosening of the wave patterns to the back. So it’s gentle and if you like to wash and air dry like me you will enjoy the subtle difference it makes. You can also flat iron if you prefer that look. I just wanted to be able to wash and air dry (and not flat iron) and not have to deal with any frizz. As far as this goal went (no frizz) it was a difference, but I would have liked a more dramatic change there. So what I did after a bit less than a month is use the clarifying shampoo again and this time leave the product on for the full hour (more time for the parts to the back) This way it was more effective. The parts of my hair to the front, I stayed with the 20 minutes time frame… so basically I put it on the back, then waited about 40 minutes then put the product on the rest of my hair to the top / crown that is not wavy / straighter and that worked well for me. I am the type that washes my hair often, so for me, I would probably use this maybe every 4 to 5 weeks. I have seen no signs of damage whatsoever to my hair which is great. Basically, I am very pleased with this product overall. I think this Formaldehyde free version is a good option for me because I am definitely not keen on that formaldehyde smell and / or having to leave a product that has chemicals in my hair for days and days. In the past I did try a traditional keratin (with formaldehyde) many years ago… but I didn’t like the process – the smell – or the results AT ALL. I didn’t like the chemical smell …or the “stick straight” look. I prefer a more natural / softer bounce to my hair and this product definitely achieves that. I can use it and flat iron for that sleek look… or ….. I can wash and let it air dry as I wish – which is what I usually do. When I let it air dry I get a really nice effect … more natural looking than that “stick straight” flat ironed look. This is my preference and this works for me. For those of your that like the “stick straight” effect – consider the chemical version….although I haven’t tried this brands formaldehyde version… so I can’t say how effective it is. I definitely do recommend this brands formaldehyde free version. It works for me and it gave me exactly the effect I was hoping for. Fuss free lower maintenance hair that I can just wash and air dry and go..! I haven’t tried their shampoo and conditioner as yet because I already have a bunch of other sulphate free shampoos…. When mine are finished I definitely will try theirs. I did try the smooth polish / oil but not on the first application. On that first time I didn’t use the smoothing oil… I used it on the second application a few weeks later. I like it. It definitely adds shine and I would also buy this again. Overall I am VERY happy with this purchase. Maybe I will also upload some pics next time I use it. I do think the directions from the manufacturer could be a lot clearer. I found there was one set of instructions on the bottle and another on the website. That needs to be addressed. If you found my review helpful, click to indicate that. I wish other people would give reviews – honest reviews – that way it would make shopping easier for all.

Does it work? Yes. Does it smell? Also yes.
So I used this product, and I found that it’s definitely help my hair feel more manageable, and help a bit with how my ends are dry and a bit damaged (though, this was my first use of the product, so take that as you will). I only specify cause A) I didn’t use heat on my hair afterwards, cause my hair’s already damaged, and B) it didn’t change the looks, but that wasn’t my focus, I cared more about trying to prevent some of the dry fraying. However, the smell (which smells like you tried to cover up a medicinal soap with potpourri) is not only fragrant, but it lingers on other surfaces, including towels and bathtubs, and it didn’t go away until I cleaned my bathtub. So, if you’re sensitive to smells, then I wouldn’t recommend this, cause then it’ll be within the vicinity until you clean your towels and your bathtub, along with your hair. Otherwise , it works pretty well.
