Sebastian Potion 9

By Phyrra on June 3, 2008

I just picked up Sebastian’s Potion 9 for my hair. I was looking for something to help with the flyaways, make my hair look smooth, as well as add a bit of conditioning to it. I’ve used lots of other Sebastian products and loved them. However, when I poured this into my hands to try it, I have to admit I was a bit skeptical. I put it on very lightly, except for the ends of my hair where I really wanted it to sink in, and then proceeded to blow dry my hair. I was very happy with the results. After a few days, my hair really started to feel nourished from it.

If you look at the ingredients you’ll see why.
Ingredients: Water (aqua), Glycerin, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Stearalkonium Chloride, Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Cetearyl Alcohol, Polysorbate 60, PVP, Trimethylsilyamodimethicone, Hydrolized Wheat Protein, Hydrolized Silk, Cetyl Alcohol, Methyl Gluceth 10, Octylmethoxycinnamate, Panthenol, Jojoba Oil (Simmondsia Chinensis), Safflower Oil (Carthamus Tinctorius), Macadamia Ternifolia Nut Oil, Babassu Oil (Orbignya Oleifera), Borage Seed Oil (Borago Officinalis), Evening Primrose Oil (Oenothera Biennis), Dog Rose Hips Oil ((Rosa Canina)), Propylene Glycol, Caprilic/Capric Triglyceride, All Spice Extract (Pimenta Dioica), Lemongrass Extract ((cymbopogon schoenanthus)), Hydroxyethylcellulose, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Potassium Sorbate, Citric Acid, Fragrance (parfum), Annatto (CI 75120), Ext D&C Violet 2 (CI 60730), D&C Orange 4 (CI 15510), FD&C Red 40 (CI 16035), Vegetable Oil.

The jojoba oil, macadamia nut oil, evening primrose oil, and the others are all really good for your hair and skin.

While this is ‘wearable treatment’ don’t expect this to style your hair or work as a styling product. It won’t help hold your hair in place. I like to think of it as an uber leave in conditioner.
