Best used in wet hair; Defined my curls but acted like glue in dry hair [SEP] I can only use this product on just washed, very wet hair, otherwise it acts like glaze and seems to mat and mesh it together.<br /><br />If used in my dry hair, it leaves a cast or coating that flakes off and makes it look dull and dry.<br /><br />On wet or drenched hair it performs very well, distributing evenly and leaving a well defined curl pattern that lasts for a long time. When fully dry, hair is still very soft and touchable, holding its shape.<br /><br />The smell, however, is a big fat negative for me, both wet and dry. It is VERY strong. If you sweat during exercise or get rained on, it comes back and can be overwhelming.  If you do a lot of gardening, get ready to be buzzed by every flying insect known to man if you've just washed your hair.<br /><br />It works. Used one way, it works really well for me. I just can't keep using it daily or as my go-to hair product.<br /><br />I am a Caucasian of Italian descent, with very heavy and thick, spirally-kinky/curly hair, with very high volume and lots of frizz.
