    Would never have gone for this product had my stylist not used it on me. My go-to hairstyle is big, voluminous, Victoria's Secret curls. Sometimes the curls come out too round or homogenous. A dab...

    Love this on wet curly hair - adds a lot of curl definition and a not a lot of oil (Control Paste, Im talking to you). I use Be Curly Lotion, Confixor, then this Defining Whip..... scrunch!!

    I think it smells great, but that is about it. Absolutely NO hold at all, not light, not a little, nothing. I really don't understand what the purpose is, but it was a total waste of $24 for me.

    I really like this product so far. It lightly defines my super-fine short hair without weighing it down or making it greasy. I have a chin length bob with bangs that I first blow dry. Then, I...

    I like this a lot for scrunching through my shoulder-length wavy hair (I use it when my hair's wet...Haven't tried it on dry hair, as the Aveda website recommends). It gives me great-looking waves...

    I love this stuff for giving some matte texture to my short hair. Smells nice and it doesn't creep onto my face and make it oily.

    I really like this product. It is good for texturing short hair without leaving it too gooey. I also love the smell. (If you like other Aveda products' smells, you'll love this one too!) It's a...

    I've had my jar of whip for a few years and it still works (and still smells pretty good). Perfect for styling a short, cute haircut, especially when going out on the town.
