Promising review: "This spray is the only product that lets me wear my straight, fine hair down without heat styling. I spray it on slightly damp or dry hair, twist it into two buns, spray again, and leave it in while I do my makeup (15–30 minutes). After taking the buns out, I give my hair one final spritz. It adds amazing texture, a bit of volume, and soft waves. I’ve tried similar products, but this one is hands-down my favorite." —Bruin2015
