Most Helpful Positive Review This stuff is AMAZING!! I have longish bleached blonde hair. It is thick but very fine and extremely fragile. This stuff transformed my hair in one use. I typically use shampoo, conditioner, leave in conditioner, and a deep conditioning treatment once or twice a week. I have never been able to easily comb my hair out. It usually takes me at least 5 minutes just to get a wide toothed comb through it because if I try to do it quicker It will break off or pulled out. I sleep on a silk pillowcase but this doesn't really help it from getting very snarled at night. I put a dab of this in my hair after shampoo, conditioner, and a deep conditioning treatment and I experienced something I never have before...I was able to comb right through my hair. When it dried it wasn't weighed down, in fact I think it had more bounce than usual. I haven't washed my hair in two days, it still looks and feels amazing. I am kinda a product junkie and I'm obsessed with my hair...I've never found something that makes such a difference and the fact that the difference was immediate was mind blowing!! Thanks for the GREAT product!
Most Helpful Critical Review Product Feels Great In Hair, But Scent Is VERY Overwhelming I purchased this product after an Ulta rep recommended it to me. It is the only balm-like curly hair product I've found of its kind so far, kind of like a light, waxy product that melts into hair. It makes hair soft and smooth, not gunky or sticky...and it very noticeably defined my curls after adding just a bit. Unfortunately, the perfume fragrance is VERY strong...I'm actually surprised I haven't found many people commenting on it. The scent lingers for a very long time, and I found myself with headaches both times I tried using this (I'm somewhat sensitive to perfumes, but can handle other types of added scents like fruit, sugar, etc.). I returned it and have even considered rebuying it because it performed well, but I just can't get past the scent. Upon later telling my story to a hairstylist in Ulta, she agreed that she doesn't use IGK because although the scent does smell good, it's just so overpowering.
I'd say if you typically are bothered by perfume-type scents from strong candles, etc...this might not be for you. After a more thorough search, I picked up a couple alternatives that aren't the same consistency (they're more cream-like), but seem to get along well with my 3a curls: Wella Curlixir Balm for non-crunchy defining (does a fantastic job) and Redken Outshine 01 anti-frizz polishing milk (not for hold, but does good for day 2 curl hydration, frizz touchups, and/or a bit of shine).

I love this stuff. Makes my hair so soft, smells good, and tames the unruliness. You won't regret this purchase!
Holy Grail Product 5
Maya from Iowa
I have wavy hair and whenever I use this product it brings my waves out even more. Every single time I've been complimented on my hair it's because I have used this product. It leaves my hair feeling light, smooth, and silky!
worth a try 4
Alevila77 from California
It is a product that does help with frizz and that hydrates my hair very well, in addition to having a very rich smell but sometimes I feel a bit heavy, it could be because I have straight hair I don't know or because it is very thin.
Bottle of nothingness 1
Katelin N. from Indianapolis, IN
I have had this bottle for a year and have used it in all kids of conditions - hot weather, cold weather, mild weather, using it on damp hair to air dry, using it on dry hair on my end after using heat, using it on wet hair prior to using heat on my hair. Nothing. This product does nothing for my hair. I have very wavy/moderately curly in some spots, medium-thick, long, dark white girl hair. My hair is not dry or oily. I've never been able to get this product to do any hydrating despite wanting it to so badly. I love IGK products all around but this one is useless to me and I'm so sad because I love the smell and the brand.
Horrible! 1
Sophie from Texas
It got one star because it smells good. This stuff made my hair look frizzy and dry after I used it. Maybe it's because I have heavily highlighted hair and it just is a no go for me. It has no moisture for my hair.
Did nothing for me.. 2
Gaby from Florida
I use after shampoo and conditioner on towel dried hair. I only dye roots. I do not use heating tools. This helps some with detangling but nothing else. No added shine or extra body. I still have frizz when air dried. It did leave my toddler's long hair soft but she already has shine. Maybe its better for virgin hair. If you use for than suggested, hair can get greasy. I added more to my ends at one point and my hair just looked dirty.
I liked it until I saw it has silicones 1
Hair guru from Arizona
Thought was a great find until I saw it has dimethicone in it. There are good and bad silicones and the bad ones are not water soluble so they coat the hair and don't let moisture get it. Feels good short term, bad for your hair long term. Really disappointed.
Favorite hair product! 5
Eliza from Ohio
This is by far my favorite hair product. Not only does it smell so amazing, it truly does what it says it will. My hair is much softer, less frizzy and just all around more manageable and makes it easier to brush out my hair. I love this stuff! I am on my second bottle now.
AMAZZIIINNGGG!! 5
Nick from Roxbury CT
This product is amazing! I have long (mid back) thick hair and a dime size amount on this makes it so soft! I use it in my hair after I shower and let it air dry and also 2 or 3 days after I heat style on the ends of my dry hair for a little extra hydration. It is light and easy to distribute all over with no oily residue left over and the smell is a heavenly light and fruity coconut that lasts for days. Will totally buy again highly recommend.

bomb 5
cal from east coast
I have wavy 2b/2b hair that gets weighed down and dry easily and this is perfect! I put it in sopping wet hair with my fingers and it keeps my hair bouncy and soft. also layers with my other styling products well. everytime I use it, my waves look great.
Didn't do anything for me... 2
Kailey from California
Meh. Not impressed with this one and I LOVE IGK products. I have fine, bleached/highlighted hair and this does....nothing. Honestly, when my hair air dries without any product in it, it's softer than when I use this. Maybe it's my hair texture and the fact that his is a gel-like consistency, but this really did not work for me unfortunately. It smells good though!
Keeps hair from frizzing 5
Chrissy from Coram, New York
I use this product after I get out of the shower with wet hair. I dry as usual. After drying I add a little more on dry hair to control flyaway hairs. I highly recommend this product.
Leaves my frizzy hair so smooth and perfect waves! 5
Gabby from Boston, Ma
It is a gel form but when raked through wet hair, it doesn't weigh your hair down and smells so good. My hair feels great for days between washes. I love it especially when I don't have time to style and let my hair air dry
best product ever 5

Love it, I use it everyday and it makes my hair so soft
lightweight and hydrating! 4
chitowngirl from Chicago
I loved this I ran it through my ends of my hair after I showered and my hair would air dry on the way to school. Once I would get to school my hair felt soft, bouncy, and slightly styled. I enjoyed it very much but did not like that I had to use my fingers to put it on. If they had a spray version of this I would get it in a heart beat!
Didn't do much 3
Marissam from Wisconsin
I bought this to use as a leave in for my wavy/curly hair and it didn't help my hair air dry well. So I thought I'd try it for blow drying my hair straight and it didn't help get or keep my hair straight. Also the fragrance isn't bad but it's too strong. I had to return.
I just Love this product! Smells amazing! 5

Product works great! 5
Mary from Pensacola Beach, FL
At the beach and outdoors a great amount of time and this product helped my hair with texture and made it soft.
Love the smell 5
Mamalee from Los Angeles, CA
I love this balm. I have dry, thinning, colored hair and my ends always look dry. This balm is so light on the hair. It doesn't weigh down your hair at all. Smells so delicious and I can't get enough of that coconut smell. I either put it on my damp hair and let my hair air dry, which comes out so nice and doesn't frizz like it used to. Sometimes I put it on my dry hair to take frizz and it does beautifully. I curled my hair with a curling iron and thought I'd try putting the balm on my ends to mold it and keep it frizz free. It worked when I put it on but I noticed it it kinda undid my curls as time went on. So I won't be doing that again but other than that, it's great for everything else.
My Holy Grail 5
IGK Fanatic from Mississippi
I love a thick leave-in conditioner! I have thick, wavy, color damaged hair and I need a richer leave-in to keep my hair in check! This product comes out almost like a gel, but does not make hair stiff like a gel would. It smells amazing as well! I pair it with IGK's Rich Kid coconut oil-gel to give my waves more definition as I air-dry my hair!
