Been using this for years!
Potion 9 is the greatest hair product. If you brush your hair, it has light hold, smooths hair, smells great, and makes your hair look healthy and shiny. If you just lightly brush your hair after applying, the hold is stronger.

It might not be for every type of hair
I received the SEBASTIAN Potion 9 drops free of charge in return for my honest and unbiased review. The drops come in a nice glass bottle, and has a squeeze dropper. The serum is smooth , and non greasy,with the little orange pearls is eye-catching, and holds the ingredients separate, instead of alr...

Hair still frizzy a little
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The product is just beautiful! But let's get to the facts. The smell is good not too much or too little. It smells a little bit like cologne. It helps my hair poof go down but does not get all the frizzy in my hair. It is very light weight but it leaves a weird feeling on my hand.
Great smell and creamy formula
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I wasn't familiar with this brand before getting this product, but I'm pretty impressed! The smell is very fresh and luxurious. It reminds me of products used at salons and it leaves my hair smelling great even into the next day. The formula is very creamy and easy to work through hair. I naturally have thick curly hair that is prone to tangles, but this conditioner seems to get the tangles out while leaving my hair soft and shiny afterward. I definitely recommend this product!

Luxurious scent with lots of lather
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I have very thick curly hair naturally so it's sometimes hard to find products that work well for me. I wasn't familiar with this brand before getting this product but I'm very impressed! The scent is very fresh and reminds me of products used at a salon. It feels very luxurious. The shampoo is creamy and lathers extremely well. A little bit goes a long way. My hair feels so clean and soft every time I use it! I think this is a great product and I definitely recommend it!

Great for you and your partner
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I loved this shampoo ! A little goes a long way and I would get a nice lather on my thick hair. The only thing about it is the smell, it smells more like it would complement a man so I gave it to my husband but other than that it's great!
So good for long hair !
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This conditioner is so Lucious you don't even need to wait 3-5min like most conditioners. I have wavy hair and if hydrated it so nice I didn't even need to use product to have my curls show.

- Q
Is this suitable for fine curly hair?
- Asked by Cherri
- Official Answer By SebastianYes, Sebastian Potion 9 is widely considered a classic and very effective leave-in treatment for curly hair! Here is why it works well for curls, along with a few things to keep in mind: Moisture and Frizz Control: It provides deep hydration and excellent slip, which helps tame frizz, define curl patterns, and soften dry or coarse hair. Versatile Hold: It functions as a hybrid between a conditioner and a light styling cream, giving curls a touch of flexible hold and manageability without feeling heavy or sticky. Lightweight Formula: While it is moisturizing, it has a lotion-like consistency rather than a heavy butter or oil feel, making it great for fine to medium curls (though tight, highly porous coils might need an extra layer of heavier cream or oil on top). Apply it to damp, freshly washed hair from roots to ends, scrunch your curls upward to encourage your natural pattern, and let it air-dry or diffuse.Was this answer helpful to you

How do i get the pump to work?
