What the gurus are saying

Heat protection and dramatic frizz reduction were the standout results here, particularly in dry climates and as a blowout primer. A little goes a long way - one pump primes most hair - and leaves it smooth, shiny, and highly manageable without greasiness. The fragrance is strong and long-lasting, worth noting if you're scent-sensitive. Some valued its heat-protecting and frizz-fighting performance; others found it a fine basic smoothing serum.

"The Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum, the one I use has fragrance, but they have a fragrance-free hair silicone hair serum as well. Really good, performed amazingly for me actually in a desert climate where deserts in my hair it's a mess. [...] My hair was amazing in Palm Springs [...] when I was using the Paul Mitchell Super Serum a lot there. That's like when I first discovered it and I still use it quite a bit now, but I don't use it every single day. I use it a couple of days a week. Gets pretty heavy."

"Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum is actually for heat styling. It's a heat protectant and it helps your hair dry faster as well. It's an excellent blowout primer. It has a really strong fragrance that does last. [...] It works to provide heat protection if you're going to heat style your hair, but it really helps cut down on frizz tremendously. A little bit, however, goes a long way. So, for me, I just use one pump and I'm good. [...] My hair had never looked better. [...] Not greasy, but very smooth, shiny. I mean, it was super manageable."
