Most Helpful Positive Review Been using it for years with straight and now permed hair To start off I have really thick hair and it was long- down to my waist--it was a tangled mess since I had spots of waves, some straight and other parts down right curly. This was the first product I ever tried that I could spray in after washing/conditioning my hair--wait 2 minutes- and I could run a brush from scalp to the end of my hair without much tension and I lost 90% less hair with breakage and less split ends. Didn't matter if I air dried my hair, tossed it in a bun to dry with a curly look - or if I blow dried it after using this leave in spray- hair always looked shiny, wasn't greasy AND it was less tangled throughout the day.
Having used it for 2 years with that kind of hair I had a great experience each time I used it----I decided to get a perm a little bit ago...and chop off a foot of my hair. Here's the thing-- I don't know if I am supposed to be using this product like I am...but here's the deal...the perm thing is awesome...but I am a ditz when it comes to knowing what products to use ever and a perm is A LOT of work, which I knew going into it but this leave in spray has made my routine quick, easy AND I don't look like a frizzed out psycho clown--- I have been sleeping with a satin pillow case over my hair to help with the tangles but in the morning I spray a healthy dose of this leave in tonic and then 'scrunch' my hair. Dries for a minute or 2 and then I am ready to go! MY hair looks great throughout the day and doesn't look dry or frizzed out. I also use a healthy dose of it to help me comb through my hair with a wide toothed comb on the off days that I don't wash my hair. I use it like I used to, after washing my hair as well, with the same results I had with straight hair. Never looks greasy and the other bonus with my perm is that I don't have the 'crunchy' look that gels give you.
**Again...don't know if I am using the product correctly (time of usage, amount, etc)...but like, I said, it's worked for years and with different types of very
Most Helpful Critical Review Where did the orginal Tonic Go? I used the original for a very long time. My hair was soft and shiny.....looked like I spent a million bucks on a stylist......... the replacement product leave in is very under par - I hope to see the original come back! Like ASAP!!! what a let down below there is a question>>>>> would I recommend Biolage......I guess. Shampoo & Conditioners are good.....how ever I will give no score on the new replacement. It is NOTHING like the old one! Sorry..............for all of us
Reviewed by 352 customers Please bring back the old formula! 1
Mi L from Florida
The old formula was the perfect consistency and left my hair feeling detangled, soft and shiny. They recently changed it to a thick and heavy formula that dries your hair out. Had to return. Please bring back the old formula!
I will be buying again 5
Ari from WV
I have been using this as part of my hair rountie for months now. It made a huge difference to my hair. It really helped me with my spilt ends when COVID didn't allow me to go to the salon.

Jilli22 from Chicago
I have been a loyal user of this product. Unfortunately they have changed the formula and now it's a like conditioner in a spray bottle. Very heavy , it leaves my hair flat. So disappointed.

Formula changed 1
Jilli22 from Chicago

I bought by 3 different bottles they're all the same, heavy conditioner in a spray bottle, and I hate it!! Why would you change something that was working just fine this is way way too heavy it leaves my hair flat put it back the way it was please or I will have to find something different in fact I'm already looking
Please Bring Back the Old Formula 1
Stargazer from Texas
I, too, have used this product for over 20 years. I had heard that the formula had been changed and I read the negative reviews, but I thought maybe people were being a bit dramatic, so I bought a new bottle.
It is awful. It's thick and weighs my hair down and when it dries on my hair, I cannot get a comb or brush through it. PLEASE bring back the original formula.
New formula is know good 1
Juls from undisclosed
I hate the new product to thick ,to strong smelling. It ways down my hair bring the old formula that you could actually spray it.
Hate the new formula and can't use it 1
Stacey from New York, NY
I've been using this tonic for as long as I can remember, maybe 20 years?! I can't use the new formula because the scent is way too strong and the thickness doesn't work for my hair anymore. I don't have a replacement product yet so I'm even more disappointed because I loved this product in the old formula so much. This is actually the first review I have ever written - that's how strongly I feel about this!
The best leave in conditioner! 5
MsWorld from Cincinnati
I use this every time I was my hair. It has helped my dead dry hair and it keeps my hair from drying out. I have been using this for years and will use this as long as they keep making it!
Very disappointed 1
Mary from Indianapolis
The original tonic was phenomenal, cannot comprehend why Biolage felt the need to change it. Bring back the original please!
BRING BACK THE OLD FORMULA!!!!! 1
GardenGeek from undisclosed
I've been using the daily leave in tonic for over 25 years. It was perfect for my fine, color treated hair—moisturizing without leaving any heaviness AND the benefit of detangling the rats-nest fine hair turns into. BUT YOU CHANGED THE PRODUCT AND IT'S TERRIBLE! it has a heavy, greasy feel, and does not detangling my hair anymore. I'm so disappointed! Please bring back the old formula. It was a really good product.
I really wish biolage would bring back the original formula. 1
Joanne from Florida
They changed the original formula that worked for so many people. The new formula is horrible. It does nothing compared to the original. Its been more than a year now since the formula change. I've found a close replacement product from redken that I use but I really would like to use this tonic the way it used to be. My hair has never been the same since I stopped using this tonic. Biolage please listen to your customers , this did not need a formula change. Please fix this so we can use it again. There are many negative comments here.
Why Change a Great Thing 1
Nikki from Salem, OR
Please roll back the formula. Why change such a great product. I used it for 10+ years and now I have had to find a new product.
Horrible since formula change 1
XOkitkatXO from NJ
I love this stuff and buy it religiously. But with my new bottle I've noticed that it's coming out thicker, has a different and stronger scent, and it doesn't have as much slip as it used to. I don't like this new formula at all. Now I'm going to have to search for a new leave in to use.
Bring back the old formula 1
Sad Melissa from Illinois
I knew something wasn't right. After reading the other reviews I see I was right. Something is not right, They have switched the formula. Bad idea Biolage. PLEASE bring back the old formula. There is a difference. Until then, I'm off to find a new leave in conditioner. Ugh.

Being back the original formula 1
Rachel from Johnson City
I've been using this for 10 years! This new formula is horrible. It doesn't detangle my hair. The new formula is messy. Do not like this new formula.
Bring back the old formula 1
badhairday from undisclosed
I have used the Leave-In Tonic for over15 years or more and loved it. The new formula is horrible!!! It has an odor and looks like glue the consistency is so thick. At first I thought it was a bad bottle but after purchasing several I checked reviews and realized it was a formula change. The old formula was perfect...the lesson here is if it ain't broke- don't fix it!!!
I absolutely LOVE this product! 5
Dawn from Bozeman, MT
I use this after showering, just before combing out my hair.
Can't live without it! 5
Tracy33 from El Cajon, CA
This spray is the best thing I have done for my hair in a long time. I thought it was a little expensive but it lasted about 9 months and I use it every other day. My hair feels and looks better than ever.
Bring back the old formula!!!! 1
Sunday Rose from Philadelphia
Please bring back the old formula. I was a long time user of your leave-in tonic. I will no longer buy it as the new thicker formula leaves my hair feeling heavy, as if I didn't fully wash out conditioner.
Thank actually read that you changed the formula is so disappointing as now I have to try & find another brand.
Dries My Hair Out 1
Seahorseokie from ogden utah
I bought this a few months ago and it is horrible, i do exactly like the instructions say and it drys half my hair before I even comb thru. I do use the shampoo and conditioner, but even if i don't use the condition this tonic still drys my hair!
My fine hair is a mess 1
lynnems from Southeastern USA
I thought it was just me until I saw these reviews. This new formula is awful. My hair is heavy, no volume, and has to be washed twice as often.
What were you thinking when you changed the formula? I think it might be a really good idea to address this problem since you've lost previously satisfied customers. Me included.
Bring back old formula! 1
Momo from Elizabethtown, KY
I wish Biolage would bring back the old formula. I absolutely loved it. The new formula was terrible for my fine hair.
