Review: Another from my product grave yard. This smells like perfume-y bubble gum cough medicine. I wish I were kidding. It’s a little gross, I’m glad it fades quickly. I got used to it after a few weeks of consistent use, but initially, blag! Consistency wise, it’s weird! It’s looks milky and feels a little like a watered down gel and rather than a “crème” leave-in conditioner.

I put it on soaking wet hair while I was in the shower and I got nothing. So I tried it again on shaken hair (aka damp hair) and it was so much better! I did a light cold-water rinse from the Ice Queen Method and it’s PERFECT! I got perfect little curls and coils without gel. Surprisingly, even when I didn’t use gel my hair remained decently frizz free as long as I kept my hands out of it.

Which, as you know, is nearly impossible with HIF.

Note: PEG/PPG-18 Dimethicone is water soluable.
