I have heard of this stuff and have been wanting to try it for a looonnggg time but can't seem to break down and pay that much for that small tube. I heard it is suposed to be good.

I got some as a free sample Monday but have not used it! I have a relaxer so I don't know how it will work for me!

If noone here has used it, I would call PHYTO. The people who answer the phone are very honest about what the product does and what type of hair the products work for.

I have this. It's not really too new, but I do love it.

I am 4a/b and when I use this product, I find that it gets my roots much straighter, esp when used with a blowdryer. But the results are not "relaxer" straight without heat. It's not a moisturizer though - so if you try this product, don't be surprised by that.

Also, this is not a little tube. A little bit of the phytodefrisant goes a long way - I've had my current tube for over two months, and I'm not creeping up on halfway yet.

ITA w/LadyChe,

I've had this a while and since I don't use heat on my hair (except for a diffuser), it's of little benefit to me. I'm a texturized 4a/b. My mom is more like a 3b, I think and it doesn't do much for hers either unless she uses heat. So far, I've not found a use for it. If you're looking for STRAIGHT look from it alone, this won't give it to you. I'm not sure about other applications (i.e. heat, wet sets...)

But, a little DOES go a long way with this product.

Yeah there are a few ladies that love this stuff. This isn't a new product though. I have never used it, but I know a few ladies did and like I said love it.

 

[Ms Red]

Thanks for the reviews ladies. I didn't know it had been on the market for some time now. I don't think I'll purchase it because I am trying to stay away from heat, especially blowdrying.

I'm sure I can find other alternatives for getting my roots straight w/o chemicals...

THANKS!!
