Very nice!! Date: November 15, 2009
"I used this with my hair in a previous cut and was very happy with the results. Now its main use is as an excellent detangler for my daughters' hair. Being 5 and 2, they want their hair long, but hate brushing it out. A little of this, tames the fly aways on their fine hair as well as the knots and snarls."

"If you have fly away hair that breaks and tends to do whatever this will give you a smooth sheek finish that will make your hair look so healthy! If you have curly or straight hair! I have fine thin hair and this stuff smells wonderful and works wonderful! I can't fix my hair without it! Thanks Avon!"

"I really like this product. I have used more expensive salon products and this one is equal to if not better than those, at a much more affordable price.
My hair is fine, yet thick, and this product keeps down fly aways and helps me dry it faster.

"I read the reviews for this product and decided to try it...it is WONDERFUL. It makes my hair soft and it will air dry and stay soft and manageable even after going to bed with wet hair. It takes out the frizz and seems to keep it away even in humid weather."

"I really like this balm. I used a more expensive product from the salon but this one works so much better. I have fine wavey textured hair but a lot of it. My hair would frizz up and curl out of its style. This product smells great and is not greasy and my hair dries faster and it feels incredibly silky. It also got rid of the frizzies."

not that impressed Date: August 29, 2009
"Purchased this thinking that I would finally be able to run my hands through my newly straightened curly hair. Not as I had hoped. My hair is dry and my hair feels weighed down with product. I have used many straightening products and this is just another one that will go to the bin. Will go back to using organic oil to get straight, silky hair. Gave it three stars b/c the product is very silky and soft and may work beautifully on curly hair without the blowdry."

"When its really hot and humid in the summer, my hair with curl, and frizz and just turns into a huge mess. This product eliminates this totally.

I have yet to find a product that will work ALL day for messy frizzy hair until now.

If you have the same problem as i do, then buy this now! you wont regret it!

Like this product Date: August 12, 2009
"I have been on a hunt to find a good hair product for my thick wavy/curly, many a times frizzy type of hair. So far I'm impressed with this one. I use this with a few serum drops and my hair feels soft, silky, and smooth. The only down-side is that if you let it naturally dry in your hair instead of blow-dry, it leaves a residue, crunchy type of feeling to your hair, kinda works like a mousse in that way. Otherwise, so far I'm happy with it."

cream silk for your hair Date: August 6, 2009
"So many expensive salon products sit in my shelf that are inferior to this product. I only use them on "work days" when my objective is to look neat and presentable. THIS GEM IS FOR GOING OUT AND LOOKING YOUR FINEST. Ofcourse you will give the impression of conceit since it's hard to stop touching your silky luxurious hair. Oh well."

Works on Relaxed Hair Very Well Date: August 4, 2009
"I purchased two tubes a week or so ago and the product arrived last Thursday. May hair is relaxed with about 1.5 of new growth that is tight coiled and the relaxed hair still gets fizzy.

When I first used the product I wet set my hair in twists. When I took the twists my hair came out soft and silky to the touchwith a nice sheen to it. It also held my curls well and loosened my tight coiled roots. The next day I decided to go straight.

So I applied a little bit of the balm to my roots and ends for extra protection. The flat iron just glided through my hair and my hair came out even straighter than it does after it is newly relaxed! It did not weigh my hair down and I still had the softness and silkiness I had with the wet set.

Even after I worked up a sweat and took a shower my roots went curly but not tight (I expected this) however my ends did not frizz. This product is truly amazing.

It's a miracle! Date: July 29, 2009
"I have really thick wavy hair plus I dye it and use a flat iron regularly so it can get very dry/damaged. When I use the smoothing balm and let my hair air dry, it really defines the waves so I'm not left with a fluffy poofball. When I flat iron it, my hair is left very silky, smooth, and shiny. This stuff really makes a difference!"

This is a Winner! Date: July 17, 2009
"This stuff really works at taming flyaways and frizzies. It doesn't hold your hair down and won't make your hair look greasy or like it has a lot of product in it either. Another thing I really like about this line is all the products smell alike, so your hair doesn't smell like a bunch of different products if you want to use more than one thing. I like to use the Hair Mask once a week, and sometimes use the Volumizing Mousse and all 3 products smell the exact same. Sometimes it's hard to find that even with shampoo and conditioner!"

"!I have been using this product for over a year now. I am a Black American with the strangest hair. I cannot use any 'black hair care products' w/o them drying out my hair and/or stripping my perm. After cleansing my hair with the Avon Straight Hair Shampoo and Conditioner I use this before blow drying. It makes my hair straight, managable, and for the first time in my life my hair has body. It moves! I love AVON products!"

"I absolutely love this and will buy it again and again. My hair has always been straight, but for the past few years my hair all of a sudden started getting frizzy. I tried everything that was out there and nothing helped my hair for more than couple of hours. When I bought this, I had no excitement because I was convinced that it wasn't going to help me and it was just going to another product to add to my list, but boy was I wrong....It was fantastic and my hair seems so much better now even when it is very humid outside. Would show you all a picture of my hair, if I could."

Sleek, Shiny, and healthy hair 4-ever!! Date: May 26, 2009
"By far, the best hair treatment ever invented!!
I am totally addicted to this balm. It has kept my hair so shiny and healthy, and smooth. Just a small dab, and I hardly have to use the hair dryer. in fact, once i apply this balm, i actually let my hair air-dry more than I use the dryer--about 2-3 minutes use of hair dryer, and I'm good to go! Thanks Avon, for making my hair so downright happy and gorgeous!!

Best smoothing balm yet! Date: May 18, 2009
"I really like this straightening balm! It makes my hair silky, frizz-free, and my hair is ALMOST completely straight! I have stubborn ends that like to flair out. There are days when I enhanced my flairage but ther's other days that I try to get my hair straight as an arrow; and this product is the closest yet to getting my hair that way. I know I'll be ordering this again and again!"
