Promising review: "I LOVE THIS STUFF! I have tried so many products to help combat frizz while enhancing my waves with no luck. I saw this advertised on The Today Show and thought I'd give it a try. I followed the instructions and used a small amount, rubbed it between my hands, ran it through my hair and used a diffuser. The waves are like I've never had before. Soft and no frizz. I highly recommend it. It's definitely worth the price." —Target Lover
