I recently read an ad for this in a magazine and decided to try it out. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it did do what it says it will do. It made my hair silky-soft, shiny, and managable. My hair was so managable that it cut my styling time to half! My hair didn't feel coated or sticky at all, which says a lot given the hot summer humidity here in the Midwest. The product is alcohol-free and has a light, creamy texture. An added bonus is that it protects hair from UV light. A great find at a decent price!
