I used the lotion in combination with the volume foam an a strong hold gel of another brand and the end results were quite good! I feel like the lotion helped to reduce frizz when styling. Still, I would not buy it again as my hair gets overmoisturised and weighed down very quickly and as a consequence, sometimes it does not hold the curls for longer than half a day even though I use very few. I feel like the product is to heavy for my hair type, but if your hair is less sensitive in this matter, the lotion might be a good choice for you!
