I have long brunette hair that dries in thick, loose curls. If I use the right product(s), the curls maintain their shape and bounciness all day. I don't think this is the product for me, because...

Really like this stuff. Smells great and works well with my thick (lots of it) semi wavy heair to bring out a "beach" texture. Not sure how it will work on thin hair as its oil based but it works...

My hair has a tendency to behave TOO well and look too polished, straight and clean. I use this to make my hair look a little more relaxed and 'lived-in.' It gives my hair soft separation and...

I've tried this a couple times, and while it is not horrible, I do not care for it. The texture is kind of waxy and the smell is odd, though not unpleasant. If I spray a little, it does hardly...

Originally I went to the store to buy Ocean Waves, only to discover it was discontinued. I picked up this one instead because it sounds like it's supposed to do the same thing and I loved the...

I, like many of the other reviewers here, used to use Ocean Waves. The scent was heavenly and it's too bad it's discontinued. I can get it on Ebay but there's no way I'm spending like 20 bucks a...

Bought this to replace my much beloved but discontinued ocean waves. This is almost as good at creating texture, but doesn't have the great scent that ocean waves had. This is a good product, but...

I'm on my third bottle of this stuff, and I found that this spray works better than bumble & bumble and garnier. If you liked John Frieda's ocean waves (discontinued... bummer), this spray is just...
