Pros

• does not weigh hair down
• smells great
• hair do not feel greasy the whole day
  
• hair feels a bit fuller
• works really well if you plan to do a "poufy" hairdo
• one bottle lasts as a little amount is enough
  

Cons

• not available locally and too expensive to have it shipped here
• if your hair is not layered, you won't feel much of the volume
• won't do anything for you if you're not into volumized hair
  

Overall 

I don't have thin or thick hair to start with, my hair is just right.  But when I had my hair layered,  I've thought of giving this product a try and so far, it does enhance the look of the layers done by the stylist.  I am not into big hair though so I don't use this as much as I wanted to.  I've given this up to a friend of mine who has thin and limp hair.   She loves it and she told me she will repurchase via a friend in US.

This product in my opinion works for well anyone who wants a bit of volume without the weight or the greasiness.  I haven't seen any similar product locally or I may not be looking hard enough, but this is a product that works but I'm not a fan of it due to my personal reason of not liking the thick looking hair :)

Tips

From Nick Chavez

• after shampooing, apply a dime-sized amount into palms, maassage into hair and leave in.
• on dry hair, rub a dime-sized amount into palms and massage into hair and scalp, leaving product in hair.
• before bed time, brush dry hair thoroughly, dispense a dime-size amount into palms of hands and massage into hair, do not rinse.

From AMW

• use a pea sized amount only
  
• test onto your hair which one works better, applied on wet hair, dry hair or before bedtime.  I like it applied on dry hair on my own experience.
• if this product works for you, ask for a friend or relatives who live in the US to purchase this for you
• try to avoid applying onto the root area, our humidity will weigh down our hair or make our hair looks greasy
  

Will I repurchase?
No, again, I'm not a "volume" person

Where to purchase and how much?

CVS website for $22.000 (approx Php1,012) for 8oz.

Are you into sleek, straight hair? 
Or full wavy hair?
I'd go for any!  Depending on my mood :)

Keep smilin'

Stay happy!
