[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve wasted money and tried so many other products and Curlsmith is my go to. So happy with every hair gel, styling cream, and shampoo, conditioner! Great product!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Such a great spray and I am so glad I tried this. The combination of using this and a gel on top is just lovely and made my wavy hair so much nicer. I think you should try it and get the whole package of lovely hair

This was a God send damaged post surgery hair damage and lost for very curly hair employee recommended. Threw away all the other products. Best price is Ulta, started with small trial bottle- then got 8 oz. Big thanks for this curlsmith product in my 81 years of over curly hair!!

I usually like a lot of curlsmith products and like how they smell. this was just an ok wave spray but I can't get over the lingering smell. it's like musty old wet smell so gross. I got 2 during 21 days of beauty last time and still can't bring myself to reach for them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this with the weightless air dry cream. My hair has really uneven texture, curly at the bottom to straight at the top, and this helps even things out and leaves a nice finish.

Great product for curly hair.

Curlsmith has some great products, so I felt bad about giving this a 2 star. I've been using this spray for a month now and while it was good for the first half, I've noticed my waves looking flatter by the end of the day (I know it doesn't have a strong hold) and my hair feeling dry. Not only that, but the instructions are super vague, leaving room for user error. 1. I use on damp hair after using Curlsmith leave-in conditioner 2. I spray into my palms (because it doesn't come out in a normal mist) and scrunch through my hair 3. I let my hair air-dry in a satin bonnet And upon reading the ingredients, I noticed it contains benzyl alcohol. Short-chain alcohols like benzyl alcohol evaporate quickly to emit scent (like perfume!), but can cause the hair and skin to dry out as well. A short chemistry-nerd rant, but I felt it was important to note (short-chain alcohols are not the same as fatty alcohols like lauryl, stearyl, and oleyl, which actually moisturize.) Maybe next time I'll see how it reacts to dry hair...

This is a good option for touching up your Irish curls. But if you're looking for something that will hold, this one is not it. It is very lightweight, and no strong smell. However, my hair does fall flat by the end of the day.

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.

Love this product! Defines my curls without the crunch. My go to travel product.

[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.

I tried this product and WOW! This is what my frizzy thin wavy hair needed all these years! Volume, soft fluffy well defined curls! NO FRIZZ! I’m SO EXCITED! You must try this if you have hair like mine!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am impressed by the Curlsmith spray. I would like to try the higher level control. Next time. I will definitely order again.

[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.

this leavs my hair soft and takes away my frizz and I can have my curls all day long. I love it and will forever buy it

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.

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!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like this on refresh days. I spray a few pumps into my hand and scrunch it in
