Hands down, the best affordable dry texturizing spray. I truly mean that. Create a soft matte texture or lived-in look by applying a light veil all over. Focus mostly on the roots and middle of the hair. Rarely do I make waves without this.
How to: 1. Create your desired hairstyle. 2. Add textured, soft matte finish and lasting hold by spraying this at the root first and then add a small amount from middle to ends. Tip: Apply a little, wait 30 seconds, then see if you need more. Give the spray a chance to dry, creating texture and grit before adding a second layer.
Contains Zip-Up Technology, our proprietary strengthening complex designed to "zip-up" split ends while targeting weak areas of the hair, smoothing the appearance of damaged cuticles and helping to protect hair from environmental stressors and color fade.

Q: I recently bought the Beach Wave Spray by Kristin Ess and was wondering what the difference is between the texture spray and the beach spray. Anyone know?
submitted by Teresa - 6 years ago
A: The texture spray gives more volume and grit (without feeling dirty if that makes sense), while the beach spray gives more piecey definition and some shine. The texture spray is matte.
submitted byABens - 4 years ago
A: I bought a sample of both and love them. I use the texture spray more towards the top 1/3 of my hair for lifting and the beach spray towards the ends for defining curls. So I use one or the other, or both depending on what I need that day! Find texture spray really great on 2nd (or 3rd) day hair for adding that body lost.

Q: Can this be used as a prep spray before styling hair?
submitted by Charlie - 2 years ago
A: Hello! Thanks for your question. We recommend applying the Working Texture Spray after you have styled your hair. However, you may use before styling as well. We recommend focusing on applying the product to your roots and the middle of the hair.

Q: Is this a hairspray? How exactly does this work? Like can I use this before and while styling my hair and use my regular hairspray afterwards?
submitted by Charlie - 2 years ago
A: Hello! The Working Texture Spray does have a lasting hold so you may not need to apply hairspray afterwards but should you need a stronger hold, you may apply hairspray after your hair is completely styled and after using the Working Texture Spray (wait at least 30 seconds). We hope this helps!

Q: SO often scents in hair products are so unbearably strong....is this the case with this product?
submitted by angie - 3 years ago
A: Hello! Thanks for your question. The scent in the Working Texture Spray is a beautiful delicate clean and fresh aroma. Most of our customers love the scent and we know you will too!

Q: I just bought the texture spray but my hand is not strong enough to push and hold the button. Is this normal? I don't think I'm that weak. The little bit that I got out seems like it will be great.
submitted by Caette - 3 years ago
A: Thanks for your question! Not to worry, that is normal, all new bottles will come this way. Our aerosol products have a locking system at the actuator to avoid product tampering and leaking in transit. Even if the product is spraying, if it is still difficult, the actuator lock may not be fully released. With the actuator on our aerosol products, you may have to press extra hard to release the lock. Try holding the bottle in both hands and with both thumbs, press down really hard. When you hear a big 'click', then you have fully broken the seal and will be able to spray the product easily.

Q: Is this product gluten free?
submitted by Renee - 4 years ago
A: Thanks for the question! Yes, this product is gluten-free.
This is my dupe for R+CO's zig zag, which cost nearly $40. Great for flexible texture and building volume at the roots. very happy with this product!

I absolutely love this. I’ll never buy another hairspray. I have fine, frizzy, wavy hair that doesn’t hold a curl and gets oily quickly. I curled my hair and used this after. It held perfect waves all day. I didn’t even have to touch up my hair the next day. I have to be really careful with product because my hair gets greasy so fast. This didn’t make it greasy at all! My hair was soft, and I could even brush it, but it still held the style. Also, it smells light and fresh. It didn’t smell like old lady perfume like some hair products do. This is a must have!

Hey - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
I wanted to love this product because I have heard amazing things. But it literally did nothing for me it was as if I was spraying air in my hair. Did not lift it or thicken it at all. Definitley not worth the price like some of the other Kristen Ess products

I loved the texture this spray gave my hair. I didn’t even mind that it sprayed out with the force of an F5 tornado. What I did mind was the fragrance! It smelled so bad I would have to spray perfume on my head to cover the stench! Maybe I got a bad bottle??

Took a chance buying a more expensive spray because it was KE and I love the smell, but did not leave enough grit to even consider this a "light" texture spray.

I bought this because I heard it was a dupe for a more expensive texture spray, but the fragrance alone is enough for me to never purchase again. It also made my hair more course and frizzy than usual, I don’t see any benefit to it instead of a light hairspray. Wouldn’t recommend.

JesaH - 5 months ago
I’ve purchased this product twice now and both times I barely used it before the nozzle stopped working. It’s a huge waste of money and so frustrating. I barely was able to use it either time to tell if the hairspray is decent, but I will never purchase again and would not recommend this product to anyone.
