I am a South African, recently having visited USA for 6 months, i bought this product in USA, for a very reasonable price, and its been the best product i've used when straightening my hair; and compared to other products for which i've paid a lot more, this is the best one i've ever had. I just wish I could find it in South Africa. If I ever do find it, i'll buy 5 bottles and keep them in stock. LOVE THIS PRODUCT!
