I have a lot of really long wavy hair that tends toward becoming a fuzzy pyramid of cartoon witch hair when air dried, and this stuff transforms it into perfectly silky, tousled, beachy, effortless waves. I use maybe a one-inch dollop for a massive head of hair and just slick it over my hands and then work it into the bottom half of my (air dried) hair with my fingers. It kind of disappears into your hair (I don’t find it feels tacky or like I really have any product in it at all) and just leaves it looking like you rolled effortlessly out of bed with the best hair ever. Smells delicious (floral but not at all powdery).

Can’t say enough good things
I used to hair model for B and B. I’ve used this product for a dozen years. Smells
Like a bouquet of flowers. Adds shine and takes the crunch out of the gel in my hair once dried and softens the curls

10 years later and still amazing
I have used this product for about 10 years now and I’m still obsessed. I don’t have very thick hair and I feel comfortable using this to smooth down hair and get rid of frizz. Smells great and hair isn’t crunchy

My literal favorite thing
I cannot believe I have had curly hair for almost 40 years and only just started using this. It’s the best. No notes. Sometimes you really just need to go with the classics.

THE BEST
I have been using this product for over 10 years and it’s the best! I have done frizzy hair and it helps tame the frizz without making it greasy or weighing it down! Also adds nice shine! I use it everyday on my clean and dirty hair.

Holy Grail Product for my Hair!
This product is my Holy Grail product of all time! I've been using this for years and will be devastated if it is discontinued. My hair is frizzy, coarse and nothing works as good as this product. After I finish styling my hair, I put this on my hair and the frizz goes away, leaves a smooth finish with a shine. During evenings at times, when there is a strand of hair that is not behaving well, I dab some on and my hair goes back to the beautiful smooth and shiny hair ever! I hope they continue to make this forever!

Ride or die hair product
I have been using Brillantine consistently for the past 15 years and have bought at least 20 tubes. I always have a tube on the go. It is the best hair styling product - it's light weight and gives you a perfectly polished tousled look. And it smells so good - I get compliments on its smell all the time. I dread the day it gets discontinued!

Classic styling cream
Works great to style dry hair, keeps hairs in place and hair stays soft. I have fine straight hair and need only use a small amount to get a good result. Great for updos.
