Pros
- does not weigh hair down
- smells great
- hair do not feel greasy the whole day
- hair feels a bit fuller
- works really well if you plan to do a "poufy" hairdo
- one bottle lasts as a little amount is enough
Cons
- not available locally and too expensive to have it shipped here
- if your hair is not layered, you won't feel much of the volume
- won't do anything for you if you're not into volumized hair
Overall
I don't have thin or thick hair to start with, my hair is just right. But when I had my hair layered, I've thought of giving this product a try and so far, it does enhance the look of the layers done by the stylist. I am not into big hair though so I don't use this as much as I wanted to. I've given this up to a friend of mine who has thin and limp hair. She loves it and she told me she will repurchase via a friend in US.
This product in my opinion works for well anyone who wants a bit of volume without the weight or the greasiness. I haven't seen any similar product locally or I may not be looking hard enough, but this is a product that works but I'm not a fan of it due to my personal reason of not liking the thick looking hair :)
Tips
From Nick Chavez
- after shampooing, apply a dime-sized amount into palms, maassage into hair and leave in.
- on dry hair, rub a dime-sized amount into palms and massage into hair and scalp, leaving product in hair.
- before bed time, brush dry hair thoroughly, dispense a dime-size amount into palms of hands and massage into hair, do not rinse.
From AMW
- use a pea sized amount only
- test onto your hair which one works better, applied on wet hair, dry hair or before bedtime. I like it applied on dry hair on my own experience.
- if this product works for you, ask for a friend or relatives who live in the US to purchase this for you
- try to avoid applying onto the root area, our humidity will weigh down our hair or make our hair looks greasy
Will I repurchase?
No, again, I'm not a "volume" person
Where to purchase and how much?

$22.000 (approx Php1,012) for 8oz.
