Bought it. Wanted to hate it....absolutely did not. Worth the investment especially if you have thick,coarse hair. Comes out soft and smooth. IF I had any complaint it would be that it makes my hair TOO straight.

Only takes a little to do a great job. With thick hair, this is worth a TON of kudos in my book. Makes brushing in the shower easy-breezy for this girl.

Slick. That's all. I didn't understand the concept at first but definitely saw undeniable results with use. Not something I use every time I wash, but is absolutely worth the extra 10 seconds of time.

Ok fine, the whole line of this stuff is BOMB. But I especially love that there's a formulation of this just for coarse hair πŸ™ŒπŸΌ Lasts through 3 washes and eliminates the need for multiple products which I love!

Clean reset does exactly what the name implies. And if you are a once or twice a week washer like me.....this is a definite MUST have. Trust. It is too much work to wash my hair more often. I want it to last feeling clean as long as possible. This he...

Smells fabulous. Everyone always wants to smell my hair when I use it. Seriously, it's kind of creepy sometimes. πŸ€£πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

I don't love the smell but this actually does make a huge difference if I am in a hot and humid area. Keeps my crazy fizzes at bay and reduces the amount of touch ups I need.

Yes, drybar again....but damn, they do it well. Having dark hair makes dry shampoo tricky, I hate the chalky white residue mess. This is the only line I can use.

Fine. I have a problem. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ I should probably buy stock in drybar. I love their products. #noshame but truthfully, this brush proved to me not all brushes are created equal and you get what you pay for.

Generally I don't like straightening products because they leave my hair feeling like straw but this one doesn't do that. It still comes out soft and shiny.

Is there really a more reliable option?! I don't think so. The OG Chi straightener I use I've had for years and it's still knocking out the curls only to replace them with ones I like better on the ends. πŸ˜‚
