My favorite thing to do for the Earth recycle
"I have hair that goes from curly to wavy, depending on how recently it's been washed, and that is going gray. I also live in the desert. The thing about gray curly hair is that there is a veerrrry fine line between "fabulous" and "crazy cat lady." Brilliant Humectant Pomade keeps me on the right side of that line, by keeping my hair supple and shiny without weighing it down. When I was younger and lived in a more humid climate, this product was too much for my hair, but at this age in this place, it's just perfect. I also love the smell, and the gel is kind of magic -- rap it on the counter and it vibrates. Fun!"
Yes, I recommend this product.

"I have naturally curly, dark brown hair. Even with washing it every few days, my hair tends to look dull and frizzy.
This product controls the flyaways and adds shine to my hair. I get a lot of compliments on my "healthy, curly hair," but I owe it all to this product!
I have tried many, many other anti-frizz or add-shine products but the Humectant Pomade from the Brilliant line is THE BEST. Worth every penny.
"
Yes, I recommend this product.

"I bought this for my curly hair thinking it would be a weightless frizz control product but instead it's a bit greasy and weighed my hair down very much. The smell is great and so I tried it when blowing out my hair straight. Using at for fly-aways in a very small amount is a much better use and I would recommend it for that. Also, very small tub for the price. Not gonna return it but I probably would not purchase this one again."
No, I do not recommend this product.

"I've been using this for about 15yrs. Recently, it was out of stock at my Aveda salon, so I used the 'Be Curly' for about a week or so...Major Fail! LOL!! 'Be Curly' left my hair dry and frizzing all over the place. The salon finally got this back in stock, and literally overnite...curls are bouncy and moisturized...just like before. So...LOVE this even more now!!"

"I've tried every product to smooth and tame my thick coarse wavy hair but none of them really do anything. I decided to try this for the nice smell on days I don't wash my hair, but it turned out to be the best product I've ever used -- it softens my hair, adds shine, tames the frizz, and helps my hair fall nicely around my face instead of bulking out in a triangle like Rosanna Rosanna Danna. Such a great discovery!"
