nope
I so wanted this to work for my wavy hair. I hated the smell. It reminds me of a men's cologne or patchouli. Also I wish there was a product that would define waves or refresh second day hair without stiffness. My hair is already dry and products like this just make it feel worse.

Fabulous Idea, Not Stellar Results
Conflicted because I'm still not certain this actually works...I have hair that has mixed textures; some curly, some wavy, some sections stubbornly straight. I live in a hot and humid environment where my hair will typically develop beachy waves (and lots of frizz) if left alone. I hoped to add a bit more definition to the waves, tame the frizz a bit, and ensure more even wave pattern up front. I tried this both alone and after rubbing some frizz cream/leave-in conditioner in my hair. It worked better when combined (otherwise it was a bit crunchy and more sticky) but it didn't do much for the areas that tend toward being straight (beyond providing some hold where I "scrunched" it). It does have a strong smell but it wasn't unpleasant and it didn't last. All in all, I doubt I'll repurchase given the price point and non-stellar results.

Love the smell!!
I love this product and it smells so good!! My hair is natural wavy but has some frizz to it so this with a combination of the hair oil works great and people tell me it looks like I curled my hair when I didn't :) If you spray too much in one area though it can make your hair crunchy so just watch out for that!!

Okay
I let my naturally wavy/frizzy hair air dry with the help of this product and the results were okay. I didn't love it and I didn't hate it. To get mor waves and less frizz I had to use a lot of product and my hair was slightly crunchy. This was not the look I was going for. I purchased the smaller bottle and I recommend doing the same so that you can test it out without a big commitment.

amazing product
I love this hair product line!!! I bought the treatment packets first and loved how much it helped my hair that I started buying more of the line! The wave spray is perfect after towel drying hair ! It smells so good and isn't sticky or stiff in your hair!

VERY FRAGRANT
I had no idea this was scented like perfume. My employer doesn't allow perfume at work and this is a definite no go. So disappointed. I have read many blogger rave about this and getting a great beachy wave. Not for me.

Useless
This is almost as bad as the jvn airdry cream. its more like a salt spray and not a good one. Just to make sure I was using it enough or properly and so after about three uses it will be gone. This did nothing for my hair after different ways of treating and styling.

Love this for beachy waves
This product instantly refreshes and gives life back into my waves. I usually use it on day 2 or 3 hair, so it creates lovely texture. I usually apply to damp hair, once it dries it looks like I've been swimming in the sea. I really recommend for fine, wavy hair like mine.

Amazing product
I’m absolutely blown away by this product and will definitely be purchasing again in the future. It left my waves feeling healthy and luxurious as it removed any dryness or crunch from gel casts. It smells amazing with a slightly floral fresh summery scent. I absolutely recommend this product to everyone with curly or wavy hair like myself as it did wonders for the health of my hair. The ingredients are wonderful for maintains healthy hair and it shows with the results from using this product. Love!
