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...

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I really enjoyed having this conditioner for fine hair. I didn't need to use a ton of it, so the value of the conditioner was nice because it did not run out like I typically do with conditioners. I love the scent. Again, it reminds me of a salon visit, and my hair is left so soft and shiny 

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I have really fine thin hair, and this shampoo did not weigh it down and left it feeling very soft, and it was shiny. My hair did not seem to get oily in between shampoos either, which is really nice.. I love this scent. reminds me of being at the salon.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I love the smell of this hair conditioner, it reminds me of the hair salon. I was surprised by how well this conditioner worked through my hair. It's not the thickest, but it spreads through very easily without using a lot of product. It rinses out leaving my hair soft. I left off one star because I don't feel like this conditioner did anything to protect my color treated hair.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I love the scent of this shampoo. It reminds me of the hair salon. It lathers so well and you only need to use little bit. It's very moisturizing. I like how soft it makes my hair feel while rinsing it out. It did loose one star because I don't think it did that great on my color treated hair.

Q
Is this suitable for fine curly hair?
Asked by Cherri
Official Answer By Sebastian
Yes, 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

Q
How do i get the pump to work?
Asked by AxWoman
Official Answer By Sebastian
It should dispense easily by pushing down on the pump. A new bottle may need to be pre-primed by pushing down on the pump a few times until product comes out. If this does not seem to be working you may have a defective can.Was this answer helpful to you
