In the current issue of Lucky (essentially fashion crack), they had a good guide for hair styling, and this was featured. Well, I thought, there's no reason why the principle cannot apply to other products: this, too, can be a leave-in for damp hair, and the price is more palatable: $17.50 for 4.2 oz, $29.50 for 8.4 oz.
There are differences. If you want to use it on dry, rather than damp, hair to smooth frizz and flyaways, heat up a tiny dab between your palms and distribute as evenly as possible. Otherwise, this thick, heavy paste might be extremely greasy, unless your hair is particularly damaged and dehydrated. I recommend applying a more generous dose to slightly damp hair, and your hair instantly takes on shine and softness, and will provide protection against heat styling; indeed, low heat might be beneficial, encouraging the emollients to absorb further (lanolin, jojoba oil, olive oil). Or, if you're lazy like me, just tie up your hair into a loose bun, and let it air dry into soft, undone, unstyled waves: perfect, slightly tousled but slightly polished bedhead. I can't yet report on build-up and/or cumulative benefits, but it's going great so far.
It smells like lanolin and rosemary (a preservative), which may turn off some, but it's faint and entirely unnoticeable once applied.
