I have slightly wavy hair and am looking for a product to leave in and not dry my hair. Is this product heavy on the hair or oily?

It's not heavy at all; but you need to be sure you just use a little. My hair is very curly and I use about dime size worth of product.

This product is not at all oily. I have very curly hair prone to major frizz...when I use this product it keeps the curl and really limits the frizz. I put it in my wet hair and let it dry naturally. I will admit, if I use lot my hair will have a bit of a "crunch" to it but for me personally it is far better than the frizz. I do not find it drying or heavy... never have blown dry my hair with this product ...I have only let it air dry.

This is a great product. You only need a little bit on your hands and I scrunch it in my hair, and leave it in. It helps keep your hair from drying out and it's not heavy nor oily. I love it for my permed hair.

I found it to be very "crispy", not at all oily. Did not look very natural, which was my goal. I have found Mixed Chicks and I like it a lot. It is a leave in conditioner, rather than a gel, and is softer than this. I have mid back length long, wavy hair and I like it a lot. I am not mixed, but it works well. Took me a good week to get the look right but it's easy now. Good luck.

Yes, it is somewhat drying to your hair - and for someone with naturally oily hair, it isn't a problem, but if your hair is naturally dry, I would probably avoid this product.

It's a water based pomade, your hair will not be manageable, if you apply with dry hair it will hold your hair really strong! with wet hair a little less. I want to try another pomade, "oil based pomade" and try achieve exactly the same you want.

I have very fine hair and use this every time I shower. Doesn't weigh it down, but gives control and moisture. You can rinse it out or leave in depending on the moisture needs of your hair. When styling curly, I usually finger comb in the condition while showering and then splash a bit of water over my head to barely rinse...then scrunch out water gently before drying with microfiber towel. Hope this helps!

My ethnic hair is relaxed and I LOVE it - my stylist uses it on both my child who is natural and myself. I prefer only the shampoo and 'rinse out' conditioner [I don't care, however, for the leave-in conditioner]. As an aside, I like the Agadir oil prior to blow drying and the spray after flat ironing :)

It works fine on my relaxed hair. However it is very heavy so I mix it in my conditioner and when its on my dry hair I apply it with a brush (perm brush) after I part it in sections.

It's definitely oily, which is why it's not "convenient", and needs to be applied with precision (eyeliner brush is what I use). Since you only need a very thin coating, there should be no issues with hair feeling weighed down. It's very strong, so be careful not to get it on other parts of your face! If you move around during sleep, I suggest applying it in the morning so you don't risk getting it on other parts of your face. Hope this info helps!

Since this product is so light weight I would use moroccan oil if I were you. When my hair is super crazy, too much of this product makes your hair look greasy. This is more for the finishing touch after styling or if your hair isn't as frizzy that day. (I have dry, wavy, sometimes frizzy hair)

I also have thin hair and it made my hair oily. It doesn't look or feel as thick either. Don't like the product!

I use this product in my hair that is naturally wavy (almost curly) along with mousse before I blow it out straight. I have thin, fine hair. I don't put it in my hair and let it air dry, wouldn't work for my hair type.

I agree with NS - build up and a greasy feel with either. I have dry fine wavy hair too and this stuff is too heavy for it.

It did not dry out my hair. If anything, if you are not careful and use too much, it will make your hair greasy.

It's supposed to help smooth your hair. It's a leave in product and I felt it weighed down my hair and it seemed a little greasy

I don't believe this is going to give u curls. I have wavy hair and with this product I still have to use a curl spray and a difuser to get a little curls from my wave. What this does do is leave my hair soft and it's doesn't weigh it down or feel sticky. It's like there is nothing in my hair.

I usually mix it with a very light conditioner such as Suave Natural to pre-poo. I also apply to my edges before or after i blow out/flat iron. This product is does not leave my hair greasy/oily.

It does not make my hair greasy at all and my hair is very oily naturally. My stylist said it is silicone based and just coats the shaft to make it shiney.

I have curly hair too and I don't think it weighed down my hair at all. Give it a try, hope you like it :)
