Love how light it is, doesn't weigh down your hair, keeps it non-frizzy

My favorite blow dry creme, the L'Oreal Nature's Therapy Mega Strength Blow Dry Creme, was discontinued. I have straight fine hair, and the older I get, the less hair I have - so - thin hair, too. The L'Oreal product combined with my blow dry method gave my hair a lot of body without the "bunny fur" softness it has on its own. A different/newer L'Oreal product was recommended to me, but I opened the cap and it's full of fragrance. (The discontinued product is only lightly scented - nothing that lingers.) As I've aged past 40, I've become more sensitive to added fragrance (migraine triggers). Someone recommended the fragrance-free products from Seen. When I saw they have an unscented blow dry creme, I knew I had to try it. So they get 5 stars for creating an unscented product. Of course, I was going to compare the outcome of my hair from the Seen Blow-out Creme to my discontinued L'Oreal Blow Dry Creme.... The Seen product, first of all, is in a tube (like the L'Oreal product). But the Seen product is quite liquid-y. It just spills out of the tube because it's so liquid. I've lost product right in the sink several times. And I bring my hair products with me to the salon. My stylist also was surprised that a product in a tube was so liquid-y. Some of it ended up on the floor when she used it on my hair. So here is my advice to Seen about the liquid-i-ness: (1) Either put this liquid-y blow-out creme into an upright bottle instead of a tube (which is where liquids belong); or: (2) If you must keep the blow-out creme in a tube, then change the formula so that it is actually a thick creme. Now onto my hair with the Seen Blow-Out Creme... The texture of the Seen product feels like body lotion - and that's how it feels on my hair - as if I've applied a body lotion. (I only use as much of the Seen product as I have with the L'Oreal product - about 1/2 teaspoon to 1 teaspoon.) After drying my hair, it's way too soft, which means it doesn't have much body and won't hold a style for very long. It makes my already-soft-hair even softer. For this, I give it 3 stars. (Then the 5 stars for being unscented. And we're at a total of 4 stars for the average.) I think Seen should go back to the drawing board for the blow-out creme. It should leave my hair with body, not without. And it should either be thicker, or this liquid-y version should be put in a bottle. I've attached a jpg file showing the ingredients listed on both products in a side-by-side for comparison.

I have thick curly hair and acne-prone skin, and I've been searching for years for hair products that will work for me. This product does. The texture is relatively thin, there's no smell, and it works well for when I blow-dry and/or straighten my hair. And most importantly hasn't caused any skin irritation.

The Seen blowout creme fragrance free gave volume and highlights and gae defintion in the the waves in my hair. I love how lightweight my hair is. I would repurchase again in the future.

It is working well so far, but it is kind of too soon to tell. I will say that the directions say to use a small amount, the size of a pea. However, the products flows out of the tube without touching the tube. It cannot be stored upright, even though it is designed that way. Also, estimated delivery was two weeks. I had to pay extra for expedited shipping. Stop nickel and diming us! Finally, too many emails.
