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 liked using it with the whole product line of SEBASTIAN. It instantly makes my hair softer and easier to detangle and brush. The smell is okay. I've always struggled with flyaways and frizz, and so far this product helped me with this issue. I wish it was in bigger size because I use conditioner much more than I use shampoo. Overall, I liked the results, especially how shiny my hair looks after styling.

Good everyday shampoo

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] It's a nice shampoo that satisfies all my needs: gives a lot of foam, leaves me with a fresh clean feeling, and has an easy-to-use packaging. At first smell reminded me some men's perfume but I got used to it and it doesn't really stay on my hair after washing off. I usually don't expect any nourishment from a shampoo as I rely on leave-in products so for me it does its job!

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I've been using this product for a while and I really liked it! The texture and smell are very nice. It doesn't leave hair sticky or greasy . The packaging is high quality and so easy to use. I think it was a really good idea to make it in transparent glass because these little inside pieces look magical ✨ It probably won't give you a lot of moisture and nourishment but for me this product alone was enough to style my hair as usual and to me it looks soft and shiny!

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
