What else you need to know:

I'm 4a/4b. I use this all the time for my blowouts before flat ironing. It's great for detangling and does make the hair straighter.
I haven't noticed any permanent curl loosening when wetting after wearing it straight for a few days.

I don't use it for it's exact intended use I've never used it with a blowout but I have with a roller set and I use it as a leave in I think it's a pretty awesome product definitely makes hair sleeker

Sounds like an interesting product.

The quoted part above would have me concerned. Anyone that uses this product noticed their hair straightening overtime?

westNDNbeauty - I worry about that too. I looked at the ingredients and can't tell what's in it that would do that.

Thank you everyone for your reviews!

Would you use heat? I think that's needed to "activate" the product...
