Did opposite of its claims
My previously straight hair has become more wavy and frizzy in recent years (currently 2A/2B texture) and I'll start off by saying I LOVE the Curlsmith Air Dry cream. I was really eager to add this in, hoping it would finally give my waves the smoothness and definition they're lacking. I followed the instructions and used the product sparingly as others have suggested, over the air dry cream, but the result was exactly the opposite of its claims. It made my hair feel like hay, look more frizzy than before, and ironically, with less definition than when I use the air dry cream alone. Maybe there are other products and hair textures this plays better with, but I don't think it's worth the effort. I returned it.

Just what I've been looking for!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think I've found my go-to styling product! My hair is 2c wavy and very fine and I was looking for something that would add some definition, but not freeze my curls in place. This spray does exactly that. I spray it into my palm, rub my hands together and use it that way, since I am not very accurate spraying it into my hair. It works great that way and I am very happy with the results.

Great for refresh
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good for day 2/3 wavy hair, although can leave hair a bit crunchy. I dilute it with some water in my hand and it's great!

I love Curlsmith!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very good product that has helped define my waves. It’s super easy to apply after a shower and smells delicious. With Curlsmith it’s always easy to order - the subscription is super helpful and always comes at the right time when my bottles are getting empty. It’s also great to know that these products are not only good for you but also for the planet! Would definitely recommend.

Curly Routine Revival
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have 2B waves that have just struggled to find their shape in a dry climate. Other products I’ve tried were either too heavy or didn’t help with definition. I bought minis of the Hold Me Softly balm to use right out of the shower and the Wavy spray to use while I’m scrunching and IM SO HAPPY with the results! It’s been 3 weeks and I will be ordering the full size without hesitation once it’s run out.

Was not expecting it to work as well as it does!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My hair is very long and fine but I have a lot of it. It is wavy and can frizz if not tamed. This product does exactly what is says - it's weightless - and even better, the next day it still feels good. It also appears to make my hair look and feel thicker. So it has exceeded my expectations. As an additional bonus, it smells wonderful.

Great for refresh days mixed in with water
I use this every morning for a refresh it’s great and gives my hair the best waves even better than first day wash. I usually put around 10 sprays into my water bottle shake it up and refresh hair that way. My daughter has curly wavy hair and this way it makes her hair go in corkscrews curls really beautiful. Love this product

Best product I’ve used for wavy hair!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the best product I have ever used for my tightly wavy hair. My hair is fine, wavy and there is lots of it!I use this product in the shower at the end of my routine or for a quick refresh on wet hair and it sets me up with fantastic waves for days about 3 days. It stops my hair frizzing and gives great definition without feeling like I have anything on my hair.

Not sure how to use???
I have wavy hair and wanted something simple to use. Directions are unclear, but maybe a half dozen additional products are needed? So by itself it basically did nothing but make my scslp itch. Threw it away. Cirlsmith has a good reputation. Maybe they need to make small size starter packs with clear directions for each curl type? Otherwise you are spending and guessing. Easier to just get a supershort layered cut instead.

Made my hair stringy; smells unpleasant
I've had good luck with other Curlsmith products and tried to make this one work, but it's a no. It smells strong and unpleasant, and somehow makes my fine 2B/2C hair both stringy and insanely frizzy. It's the kind of stringy, almost sticky cast you can't scrunch out. I had to wash it out to get rid of the awful texture. I'm going to have to throw it out because even if I had a friend with my same hair type, I wouldn't wish it on them. I recommend other Curlsmith products but definitely not this spray!

Fine limp hair
Effortless waves has given such an 'oomph' to my fine limp hair. It's easy to scrunch in and gives volume all day without deflating. Amazing!

Works for my wavy hair
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This really works for my wavy hair. I'm motcso kern on the smell & getting the amount right is key otherwise it can be a bit sticky but it's great for refreshing waves aswell as applying on wash day.
