Someone at work with GEORGEOUS long hair told me to use Sebastian Potion #9.  Has anyone heard of this or have any comments?

Thanks,

Nekita

I guess this isn't a big product for people here.  Is that a way of telling me I shouldn't get it?

Hi Nekita,

Not necessarily a wise assumption to make.  Who knows - it might work very well for your hair.  You'll never know unless / until you try.  Right?  It does have a -cone, but it isn't super-high on the list of ingredients (9th - thank you, AnaisSatin).

Potion 9 is a leave in conditioner and it is great!!. It leaves your hair soft and beautiful. My stylist uses it all the time along with Sebastian laminates drops or gel, when she blow dries my hair. My hair comes out great. And I have curly frizzie hair. Try it, you will love it. You can get it a any salon that carries Sebastian products. I have even found it at Walgreens.

Thank you.  I have a lot of faith in what people say here, so I didn't want to buy anything until I got some positive feedback (or at least not negative feedback) on it.  I'll let you know how it goes.

 

Cheers,

Nekita

Hmm... that sounds like good stuff.  You said you've found it at Walgreens, Sharyg11?  I'll have to look for some there.

Proteins are supposed to be good for you, but some people avoid them because of their hair type. If you were one of those people, you'd probably know. LOL

You'd be surprised how much stuff ISN'T bad for your hair!

I believe proteins are added to conditioners in an attempt to help fill in the weak spots.  Conditioners high in protein are generally recommended for those hair has been altered by perms, coloring, or having otherwise been damaged.  My hair occasionally likes such conditioners occasionally, but not all the time, or it gets "crunchy."
