Unfortunately, just like with Sunsilk Hydra-TLC Shampoo, I had an allergic reaction to the scent and can't use the product. I feel bad about that because this is a very effective product for my often unmanageable hair.
The Crème
Like Sunsilk Hydra-TLC Shampoo, the scent of this crème is light and somewhat floral. It is not overwhelmingly fragrant, which I like. I don't like strong scents in general and floral ones in particular. The crème is white and fairly thick.
My Experience
After shampooing and conditioning with my usual shampoo, I towel dried my hair, then squirted a quarter sized amount of Sunsilk Hydra-TLC 24/7 Crème into my palm and massaged it through my damp hair. I combed through my curly hair with ease and styled as usual.
The crème made my hair feel smooth and soft when it was damp and it dried to a natural feel. It wasn't sticky or stiff. In fact, I couldn't even tell it was in my hair once it dried. I was impressed at the amount of control and manageability my hair had after using this product. My normally dry hair seemed healthy and shiny.
The hold is strong but not stiff. I was able to go about my daily routine - which often includes driving from place to place and facing the elements - and my hair, which usually gets unruly in those conditions, stayed looking just styled and in place. Because I have very curly, dry hair, it tends to "poof up" a few hours after I style it. To my surprise and delight, this product calmed the poofs and allowed me to be a lot less worried about how my hair looked when I just couldn't get to a mirror to check.
Then I felt a familiar feeling. For some reason, I have allergies or severe sensitivities to certain floral scents and I never know which ones. Because I did have a reaction to the shampoo of the same scent, I expected a reaction with this product right away and, when one didn't come, I thought I was safe.
After several hours, my ears started to burn and get red and my eyes started to water. It's a sensation I know all too well. I washed my hair and the reaction began to fade away.
Final Thoughts
Sunsilk Hydra-TLC 24/7 Crèmeis a truly unique and effective styling tool that not only manages hair but also boosts the shine and overall look of your hair. I would recommend this product to anyone who has dry, curly, wavy, thick or unruly hair. I would not, however, recommend this product to anyone with very thin or oily hair as it might weigh down that type of hair. I give this product a 5 star rating due to its uniqueness and effectiveness. My reaction is an isolated one and I don't think the product should be downrated because of my allergies.
