Must have for my hair

I have been using Paul Mitchell's Straight Works for more years than I can remember. I combine it with Paul Mitchell's skinny serum onto damp hair. It leaves my hair shiny and healthy. It is a product I cannot be without.

I love this so much, it smooths my hair like nothing else. I like it so much more than the skinny serum which is too heavy for my hair. I hope they don't stop making this!

I do not recommend this product not only did it dry my hair, but it did absolutely nothing. My hair is curly and frizzy so I was really excited to try this product unfortunately it was a pure disappointment. Thank Paul Mitchel my hair hates me more than ever. I will never use this product again, it said to put a little bit, but it did not work so I put more shocker shocker nothing happened. Bottom line is do not waste your money on a product that does nothing and the cheery on top breaks my hair and dries it out. Do not tell me I did not warn you.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

DO NOT USE

It really smothers out my hair and make me my curls almost slippery, but I can't use it everyday or it builds up and only in small amounts. Paul Mitchell Straight Works

DO NOT USE

I've been using this now for about 20 years. I've tried other brands, smoothing cremes, etc. Nothing compares to Paul Mitchell Straight Works for my extremely curly, color treated hair. I hope they never "re-formulate" or discontinue this or I might just be forced to shave my head. I love this stuff!
