I've never really used Herbal Essences products before, but when I landed in NJ and realized that I'd forgotten to pack all my hair products, I hit up the drugstore and (I have to admit) bought this leave in creme based solely on its name. It just made me laugh, and really, when you're standing in a ShopRite in central NJ during the Christmas shopping madness, that's all the recommendation you need. Plus, it cost something like $3.50, so I figured I had nothing to lose. I used it the whole time I was on the east coast and while it made my hair a little silkier, I wouldn't say that it eliminated all frizziness. It seemed like it acted more like a leave in conditioner than a frizz control, so for the price I paid I have no complaints, but if you're looking for something to tame your out of control frizz problem, I'd say you might want to look elsewhere. It was fine for when I was traveling, but I wasn't even tempted to try and fit it in my suitcase when I was leaving, and if you could see the way I pack, you'd know how meaningul that is. One other funny thing about this product is that it says that it contains extracts of mandarin balm and pearls. Okay, the mandarin I believe, but pearls? That seems a little far-fetched for a product that I found wedged on a shelf between Head and Shoulders and Alberto VO5. Next they'll be trying to get me to believe that my toothpaste has diamonds in it to make my teeth sparkle. Hhm, wait a second... That's not such a bad idea. Anyone have the number for Colgate?
