I have hispanic hair that is relatively thick, wavy, and unruly. I have been using this product for over 7 years and will never use anything else again. I use this product before I blowdry and either curl/flat iron and my hair has never been damaged. I get compliments on how shiny and beautiful my hair is regularly. I would recommend this product to ANYONE...totally worth the price. I have two other family members hooked on this stuff as well : )

I have very fine, dry, curly hair--and a LOT of it. I know, try not to be jealous. This basically transformed the texture of my hair. From blow drying to straightening with a flat iron (I blow dry my hair crazy then flat iron) it usually took me over an hour. Thirty minutes after I used this. And my hairs looks and feels amazing.
It's true

Phyto really is a good product. My stylist used this product on my hair at my last cut and suggested I buy it. Unfortunately they were sold out of the product at my salon, so I found it here on Folica! I was surprised because it's not easy to find. I washed my hair eager to try it, and the result? Amazing! My friend raved how great my hair looked, and she thought I had just gotten it cut. My hair was very glossy and shined. When I told her about Phyto she was all about where and how to get it. I have thick wavy/curly hair, and this stomped out the frizz and curl. It's true when they say product is everything when it comes to hair. The heat and cold damage hair, this is a one of a kind product for sure!

I'm Dominican and I relax my curly, kinky hair.In the summer my hair gets puffy and grows like a sponge, i went to a beauty salon and they recommended me this AMAZING product. as soon i took out the rollers i noticed that the hair was relaxed, smooth and with volume because it is not greasy. the next day my hair was with an amazing SHINE and with the softness that i was craving for and the beauty that brought to my hair. this is the everything for my hair. GOD BLESS this company.

I have been using Phyto products for quite some time now. I like them all and this product just puts the icing on the Phyto cake. I have been using it for a week now and am satisfied. I usually find it difficult to find hair products that work for me since I'm black but Phyto is good for hair period. I had been using the Garnier Sleek and Shine Serum and it works but this Phytodefrisant works better and lasts longer. I've worked out this week and its still smooth and soft feeling.
Worth every penny!

I hated to spend $26 on a product that I was afraid wouldnt work. I tried it for the first time this morning and it was worth every penny! My hair was so much smoother and I didnt have to use my flat Iron except to touch up a few places and style my hair! I wish it came in a bigger bottle for $26 but I will definitley be buying more when it runs out!
Great for ethnic hair!!!

I am half Dominican and half Puerto Rican. At the roots of my hair I have extreme tight curly frizzy hair and I almost forgot to mention that my hair is extremely course! I started relaxing my hair when i was about six or seven but when I was in Highschool I saw that relaxing hair can be very damaging. So I have been natural for 4 years now. Some times when I go to the salon they always ask me if I want to relax my hair and I always say no. I know they ask me this because my hair is very unmanagable while it is wet. The only time I go to the salon is to get my hair trimmed other than that I do my own hair at home with my blower and excellent flat iron because I hate to hear these people telling me to relax it. One day I went for a trim and the lady told me that if I am not going to relax my hair then to buy a type of cream that can relax my roots temporarly. So I did some research on folica.com and some other places and saw that this product had the allure magazine award and had to good reviews so far. I decided to take a chance and buy it. I used the product two days ago at the salon. The stylist looked skeptical and so was I. After my rollers were dry it was time blow dry my hair. OMG!!! It smoothed and straightened my dry frizzy extremely tightly curled course hair. Me AND the stylist were amazed at the results. She made me tell her where she can get a bottle of her own and I gladly told her. This is the best product for any type of rebellious hair! Great investment! *MUAH* for the people at PHYTO!!!

I've tried numerous products to smooth the dry ends of my very fine hair---all left my hair greasy and stringy except for this one. Try it on wet hair, or a little after your hair is dry. Experiment, starting with a little bit at first. It really does work well.
The BEST relaxing balm!

I have been using this product for years and it's really one of the only products I cannot live without. It is an absolute MUST if you: use a flat iron; have dry, frizzy, curly, hair; live in a humid climate; want super straight and shiny, healthy hair. It is all natural, no chemicals. I was surprised that a botanical based product could work so well but it works better than any other straightening balm I've ever tried. The balm protects hair from heat styling. It's a clear gel with a watery consistency, feels slippery in the hands. Apply it to very wet hair and proceed with your heat styling. It never flakes or makes hair feel stiff or sticky. Leaves hair very shiny and straight. Like I said, I've been using it for years. Last week, for the first time in forever, I forgot to put it on and didn't realize it until I was ready to start flat ironing. I had already done too much to start over at that time so I said whatever. Well....my hair was way different, it was puffy, not shiny and was harder to straighten. It was only then that I realized how well this balm really works. Try it you won't go back. And it might be pricey but a tube will last a long while. Good luck!
