Frizzy hair? Not with Phytodefrisant! July 9, 2006

This is my "Holy Grail" haircare product -- I could use almost any other shampoo, almost any other conditioner, almost any other hairspray, but I could *not* ever use any other styling product on my hair, now that I've had a chance to use this. There is a Very Good Reason why Phytotherathie's Phytodefrisant has long been a mainstay of top professional models & has been voted the #1 haircare product by readers of "Allure" magazine more than once -- try it & if you have frizzy hair I guarantee you'll understand, too.
My hair is thick, naturally wavy/curly & prone to extreme frizziness in the slightest humidity, & I've spent most of my post-pubescent life trying to figure out how to straighten it & control the frizziness. Until I discovered Phytodefrisant, the most effective product I had found was Sebastian's "Laminates" (I've tried virtually *every* product promoted to control frizziness that's been on the U.S. market in the last 30 years), but the silicone eventually built up on my hair & on very humid days I had to use so much of it that my hair was weighed down by the coating & felt "dirty". It "looked" reasonably good (for most of the day), but it certainly didn't feel very good to the touch. However, letting my hair go "curly" was a non-starter because the "curls" became nothing but frizz unless the humidity was close to 100% & if I used the "Laminates," it only destroyed my hair's ability to curl & simply made my hair look "dirty" & unstyled.
By contrast, just a teaspoon of Phytodefrisant allows me to blow-dry my hair to soft, sleek, straight smoothness, with no residue detectible at all to the touch. The first time I used it, what struck me the most was how "natural" & "bouncy" my hair felt to the touch (I know, I know, I sound like a TV commercial, but this is *really* true!). I could run my fingers through my smooth, straight hair without detecting the slightest residue of the product & even after a month of daily use there is absolutely *no* build up whatsoever. On days when I want to wear my hair "curly", a single teaspoon allows my hair to dry naturally into crisp, bouncy curls without the slightest evidence of frizziness all day, no matter the humidity.
My hair is shoulder-length & this tube lasts me for about 6 months, which breaks down to a cost of 13 cents a day. If buying a tube for this price seems daunting, Phyto includes a small travel-size tube in its "Petites" travel collection, which would allow you to try a variety of their products & which is also sold here at Amazon.com last time I checked. If you want more reviews from people who take their haircare seriously, check out the numerous rave reviews for Phytodefrisant on makeupalley dot com, where this is one of the highest rated products by a picky demographic group that takes personal care products very, very seriously! ;)
I couldn't straighten my hair without it! May 14, 2004

I joined the cult of Phyto products in the mid-90s and never looked back. This product is used sparingly on wet hair, to help tame curls and frizz. I haven't encountered any other product that works as well as Phytodefrisant to get my hair straight and sleek!Incidentally, a minimal amount is used for each application, so the tube lasts for a very long time...
the best straightening product ever January 11, 2005

I'm half Italian with spiral curly hair and for years I fought it, trying to straighten my hair with blowdryers and drugstore straightening products. NOTHING WORKED. Finally a friend gave me some of her Phytodefrisant hair relaxing balm and for the first time ever I found out what it's like to have silky straight hair. Because of the price I occasionally try other, cheaper proucts that come along but, I've never found anything that comes even close. I've also found that even though it comes in a small tube, it lasts for a long time.
Amazing! April 26, 2008

I have read many reviews and I wanted to make sure my review was precise and informative. I am an African American who decided to go natural 5 months ago. I cut my hair into a bob, blow dried and flat ironed it and noticed my hair looked a HOT mess. I went to Sephora searching for a relaxer from the Phyto line. Once I explained what I needed to the young lady she suggested this product. 1, This should be used and wet hair for best results. 2, You must apply from root to ends. And 3, a little goes a long way. I immediately went home and applied it to my dry, over heated, 75% chemical free hair. ( I know I should have waited until I washed it, but I was anxious.) This product was amazing! I blowed dried and I flat ironed my hair and you could not even see that I had 4 inches of natural roots on my sleek bob. I cant wait to try it on my hair wet. I also live in NC, which the sun and humidity can be a killer. I played with my son for an hour yesterday, and my hair still held up great. ALSO, you should not use this product daily on really course or frizzy hair. Once every wash. And if you are still having frizz, then maybe you are washing your hair too much! Great product.
I love this stuff! July 8, 2005

Phyto Phytodefrisant Botanical Hair Relaxing Balm is an awesome product! I have been using it for years and I love it.
I have relatively straight hair, but when it's shorter, a few nasty cowlicks are evident and hard to handle. A little dot of balm in my hand, once through the hair, and I am in business, whether or not I blow dry my hair!
Most importantly, I HATE to wear product in my hair. I feel product in my hair the minute it has been applied. Most gels, balms, clays, sprays, etc. just weigh my hair down, making it limp and dirty. Phyto Phytodefrisant Botanical Hair Relaxing Balm never does any of these nasty things to my hair! I never feel it in my hair, but I know it is working like crazy!
I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a little control, wants to straighten wavy hair and blow dry (you get a beautiful and smooth look), or just wants an easy time of it without blow drying.
