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...

Pretty good but pricey

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I used this shampoo in conjuction with the conditioner and styling drops in this line. The shampoo has a slight citrus scent, and a slight, creamy texture. I can definitely feel that this is more of a hydrating shampoo, based on how it feels more moisturizing as it lathers. My hair feels more soft, and has a smoother texture when using this product. I can usually tell immediately if a product works well on my hair, because I have thin, fine long hair that is prone to knots and tangling. While this one adds more moisture to my hair, I wouldn't say the results are necessarily worth the higher pricepoint. I have previously used a more expensive shampoo that had made a bigger impact in my hair quality. It's definitely slightly better than most drugstore brands available but not so much of a difference where I would be willing to pay more than double the price. This is definitely a splurge item in my opinion.

I used this for two weeks, and have oily low porosity hair. This made my hair feel clean and soft, but the next day my hair would look and feel oily. This was just to hydrating for me.

I have oily low porosity hair, so it's hard find a conditioner that's not overly hydrating. I used this for two weeks and I really loved using this and would buy again. The price is a bit unreasonable for consistent rebuying.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This conditioner is really moisturizing, but not heavy on the hair. It honestly goes on like a hair mask and leaves my hair feeling really smooth after. My hair is left shiny and moisturized. *I did receive this product for my honest review

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I feel like overall, this is a very good shampoo. It cleanses the hair well and leaves my hair clean without over drying. I didn't really notice much more volume when using the product, but it did have a nice lather and helped with frizz. It also had a fresh salon quality fragrance which I liked. *I did receive this product for my honest review.

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
