Promising review: "As a coily girl it’s hard to find products that work with my hair. That means Im always searching because “the one” may not work if my hair is having a moment. I used this spray after washing my hair and clipping my ends. First off, it smells amazing! It has a bit of slip to it, which made combing for my wash and go a breeze. When my hair dried it felt hydrated. I intentionally did not do my normal routine of adding oils to my hair to find out how this spray left my hair. It was not sticky or oily, but you could tell my hair had some type of moisture providing product, which I loved. I will be keeping this spray in my arsenal from now on." —Shay227

Promising review: "I have straight, heavy hair, layered hair. I actually just got back from Hawaii and at the beach I would wet my hair in the ocean and put it in a bun and I’d get these BEAUTIFUL waves. THIS IS A GREAT REPLACEMENT!! I usually spray it on after my shower. I wait until my hair gets a little less damp and then spray it on and put it in a bun for about an hour (I usually use a dan in the process, have yet to dry with a hair dryer). Then I get these beautiful waves like I did in Hawaii. Even better, when I remove the bun and get ready for bed, my hair gets even wavier. Absolutely love this product." —beachy

I don't need a lot, it doesn't weigh down my curls, and best of all it's not crunchy at all! My curls are bouncy, soft to touch, and they smell nice too. 10/10." —Jennifer
