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...

Cleanses without stripping

I really enjoyed this shampoo! It has a nice, clean scent and produces an incredibly rich, luxurious lather. It rinses out easily, leaving my hair feeling clean and refreshed without that stripped, squeaky feeling some shampoos leave behind. My hair actually felt moisturized after washing, which I really appreciated. A great balance of cleansing and hydration!

Not the right fit for my hair

Submitted 9 days ago

By Simply

From Cleveland, OH

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I had high hopes for these drops, but unfortunately, they didn't work out for me. I'm a black woman with natural hair that I typically wear blown out straight. While lightweight , the formula has a watery consistency rather than the feel of a traditional serum. Applying it to dry hair caused my hair to revert, leaving me with frizz and puffiness. I gave it another try on wet hair before blow drying, using five drops since my hair is on the finer side, but the results were underwhelming. No noticeable shine, no appealing scent, honestly, no real difference in my hair at all. Perhaps this product is better suited for other hair types or styling routines because it wasn't a good fit for mine.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I was gifted this product from Sebastian Professional in exchange for my honest review. I really have enjoyed this conditioner! It doesn't have a heavy scent and is just the right consistency. It's not too thick, but great for a good conditioner. I leave it on for about 5-10 mins and then rinse. It rinses really easily and leaves my hair feeling soft and looking smooth. It is a great product that I feel will only make my hair look and feel better with time. Sebastian Professional is not a cruelty free brand, I really wish they were, though!

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I was gifted this product from Sebastian Professional in exchange for my honest review. There was an issue with shipping and most of the shampoo leaked during the process. However, there was a small amount that I could try and it seemed to be nice. It foamed up nicely and seemed to really get into my hair and cleanse without stripping my scalp. It is not heavily fragrance, which I love. It was easy to rinse out of my hair and didn't cause build-up. Sebastian Professional is not a cruelty free brand.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

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
