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.

The Miracle hair product I've been searching for!

I'm Japanese and Mexican. For a majority of my life, I've had straight asian hair that I could wash and walk out the door and it would be smooth and silky all day. I would only blow dry if I wanted to curl it. Then I had kids in my 30s and my hair went through the change. It got wavy up top, with curly ringlets underneath. I didn't know what to do about the curl & frizz. I can control it if I blow dry it. It tames the wave and I put a little Davines Oi oil in it. It looks great, but it takes forever to do, so I only wash my hair twice a week. If I let it air dry, it looks like I got a wavy perm and brushed it out. Frizz central. Last week I came across Paul Mitchell's Smoothing Straight Works. Where has this product been hiding?? Immediately after application, my hair was smooth, dried smooth, went to bed and woke up smooth. I didn't have to blow dry. Granted, it's not silk straight, but it has a lovely wave to it and I finally feel comfortable washing it and walking out the door without the long post-shower hair care routine. I love the smell. Not too greasy or heavy. A little went a long way on my long hair. Paul Mitchell makes great hair products. It is Smoothing. My hair is Straight. And it Works. I highly recommend.

I have very short hair and its wavy :/, It usually takes me a min to get hair straight. After using this 1st time I noticed a difference took 1/2 the time and effort to get the look I wanted. Smells great and make hair feel like it's been super conditioned. Oh Paul I am loving the products.

I have natural curly hair and use Paul Mitchell Straight Works on a regular basis during the summer heat and humidity. I just apply while hair is wet and blow dry straight. It does an okay job but during 100 percent humidity there is still some frizz. On a day with moderate humidity the results are much better.
Love it

I really like this product as an after style product. Works great after either curling or straightening my hair. Gets rid of all the frizz and leaves it really shinny. Not heavy at all very light weight and doesn't make hair grease or weighed down. Only down side I don't like the smell. But it's not strong at all and you can't smell it once it's in your hair. So really the smell isn't a big issue. Other than that i love this product.
