I have heard many reviews of this product on a salon board. Everyone says it leaves the hair like a board: straight but hard and sticky and gross. No one liked it. 4 great products: Alternas Straightening Starch (it is new and has a fairly strong strawberry smell but is awesome at leaving the hair straight and soft- I still smooth it over with a flat iron to get the pin-straight look), Matrix Sleek Line (especially the Lock Down Spray and lite leave in creme), Redken Addictive (you spray it in then lightly rinse out-awesome) and also KMS pro-gold treatment (excellent moisturising treatment for silky hair). This should help you! Skip the sebastian spray- it is junk. Also Biosilk Smoothing Spray is good before blowdrying or ironing.
