I've read all the reviews, good and bad, for B'Leave In. Actually, all of them are correct. When I first tried the product, I hated it. It didn't seem to do a thing for my hair, and my hair felt dry and dirty. I then read the book written by the line's creator (very good, by the way), and realized I hadn't been using it correctly.

You need to use a LOT of this product, and you need to use it on wet (not damp) hair. You apply at least a quarter-sized glob to the underside of the hair at the back of your head. Then do the same for the outerside of the back, the sides, and the front/top. Those amounts are approximate based on my short, very thick, very dry hair.

Once I started using the correct amount, the improvement in my hair was dramatic. It took care of my intense frizz, while leaving the curl looking beautiful.

With all products for curly hair, you need to experiment to find the ones that work best for you. All I can say is that I love B'Leave In, and love what it does for my very thick, very coarse hair.

I recently got the "big chop" on my mid-waist naturally kinky dry hair. I have been using Devacurl NoPoo and Devacurl One-condition for almost a year and I love both. I tried Deva ArcAngel when my hair was long and I hated it so much I gave the whole bottle to my daughter. Last week my stylist(thanks Evan), cut my hair very short using the Deva method. After cutting he washed and conditioned with deva and then he applied B'Leave- in and ArcAngel. Dried under a hood dryer and then flipped my head over and ran his fingers through my roots breaking apart the curls. It was beautiful. I bought a bottle of ArcAngel from him and B'Leave-in online. I was scared to death that my hair wouldn't turn out like at the salon. I was wrong! My hair is beautiful. I am finally happy with my hair. It looks in such good shape and is shiny. I use a diffuser and never use a comb or brush. I know I've spent $1000.00 on products over the years and have NEVER achieved the results I've wanted. I have now. Just remember to used on WET hair. Before I get out of the shower I rewet my hair and apply B'Leave and ArcAngel. I then use a microfiber cloth and lay it over my head and press down just enough to remove drips. I then use my fingers and place the curls where I want them. Diffuse then ruffle dry hair with fingers. I continually get compliments on my hair. Love this stuff!!

This is the only leave-in conditioner that I use on my hair. I have tried many brands and paid a lot of money for the really expensive varieties only to be disappointed and out of money. Deva Curl products are the only products that work for my hair leaving curls defined and soft. Plus, it's one of the lesser expensive but high end hair product I've found and have been so satisfied with. I also recommend the conditioning cleanser and the conditioner. So far, the prices I've found on Amazon.com for the larger version of this product is better than the beauty supply stores and salons I go to purchase this product.

I used to straighten out my fine curly hair every day - never able to make peace with my curls because they were dry and unruly. I've been using DevaCurl products for about 6 months, and B'Leave-In is a key part of the process that works for me. I use it on WET hair straight out of the shower, before using Arc-Angell. I did have to play with the line a little before my hair figured out how to respond to it, but now I can say I've never loved my curls this much in my life. If your hair is dry, B'Leave-In will make the difference without weighing down. But I think you really have to use it with the rest of the line, or it won't make much sense...

I've been following the Curly Girl method (see Curly Girl: The Handbook for over a year, but I started out by using smaller, boutique lines before trying Deva products. When I started getting Deva cuts last year, I started incorporating their products into my regimen -- and B'Leave In is one of my favorites in the line!

My Deva stylist first suggested this for my fine, wavy hair, and it adds volume and lots of curl to my locks. The trick, as another reviewer mentioned, is to use this on really wet, saturated hair; I have hair that's about five inches past my shoulders, and I use about three pumps all over, really scrunching it into my hair. I then apply a lot of AnGel, clip my roots, and dry my hair. I get nice, soft waves with a lot of definition and fullness.

Great product that's worth a try if you have a similar hair type!

I have thick, course hair and was reluctant to purchase this item because it said volumizer. So glad I tried it. I wash my hair with no-poo and one condition and then use microfiber towel to get excess water out. I apply B'Leave-In and Arc Angel and scrunch with the microfiber towel. I use some Set It Free just because my stylist recommends it but I think I could live without it. My curls are softer and much more defined. This product does not leave my hair stiff and I can usually just mist the next day to revitalize my style.
Definitely enhanced my curls without frizz and extra volume. My hair looks best when I dry it with a $12 diffuser that I purchased on Amazon that I attach to the hairdryer I had.

I love the ethos of this company. I love how Curl Power they and I wanted to transition into a completely natural product line. I gave the whole line the old college try and it just wasn't for me. I am a solid 3B and i found that this made my hair really greasy looking even though it didn't feel greasy to the touch. In fact the ends felt dry. I tried every possible combination or product and amount and it just wasn't working. for the people I have seen this product work really well on is girls with wavy hair that want to work it into curl. then it is great but if you already have big curls it is just too heavy and pulls it down.

I have always purchased my deva curl products at the salon. I have used B'leave in for years and it has been terrific. When I purchased it online, it isn't at all the same as the same product in the salon. It is watery and does not condition as well as the salon bought product. This is very disappointing.

I love every Deva product that I have tried... except for this! I don't know if it was my particular B'Leave in bottle or if it's all of them, but mine was clumpy, as if it was rancid or cheaply made! In addition it didn't do any favors for my hair. I still use No-Poo, one condition, An-Gel, and set it free daily, but I threw out my B'Leave in and will not buy it again. It is possible that my hair is too thin to need this product. But what about the clumps?

I am very pleased with the product and with the Seller.
I regret not getting more at the time of purchase and if the Seller sees this, perhaps they would consider allowing me more of the same.
p.s., how can I contact the Seller?
Thank you.
