Reviews

Great for texturizing

"This is the second review I leave in a week. My first review is titled "Not really a wave spray". And it's true, when I applied the wave spray all over my fine, dense, wavy hair it was too much. But then, I started using it more deliberately for focused texturizing and refreshing the ends, and it works like a charm. I 'll keep buying."

Helen (5/5)

Not really a wave spray

"It's more of a texturizing spray in a liquid form. I used to use the old version and came back to it because I missed the salt-free wave enhancement. The new version is nothing like that. I use it after the ouai air dry foam, and it makes my clean hair tacky, coated, and heavy. For reference, I have fine, dense, wavy hair in a bob. Giving it 2 star because it worked relatively well for a couple of weeks and then it just made my hair heavy, so it might work better for thicker hair types."

Helen (2/5)

Amazing!

"I use with the leave in conditioner and air dry mousse and my hair has never looked better! I always have a bit of volume, loose curl at the end, and no frizz after my hair air dries."

Caitlin T. (5/5)

"Second purchase of this wave spray. Like the smell and works great on my short curly hair."
