About this item

Highlights

  • For all hair types
  • Texture building
  • Instantly volumizing
  • Ultra-light hold
  • Soft matte finish

Description

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.

cruelty free | color + keratin safe
free of sulfates, parabens, phthalates + silicones

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 - 8 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.

    submitted bymjean - 8 years ago
  • A: Hey Teresa, Thank you for your question! The Soft Shine Beach Wave Spray adds shine, softens hair, and helps separate curling iron waves. The Dry Finish Working Texture Spray adds volume and texture to hair and has a matte finish. Hope this helps!

  • 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.

Q: Can you use on wet hair before styling

submitted by Gigigirl - 11 months ago
  • A: Hello! Thank you for your question! No, we do not recommend using the Dry Finish Working Texture Spray on wet hair. This product works best as a dry styler to add volume and texture to your finshed look. If you are looking for products for wet styling you could try the Instant Lift Volumizing Mousse or Thickening Spray for volume, these two stylers are made to be used before your blow dry to add lift. Hope this helps!

Q: Can this be used as a prep spray before styling hair?

submitted by Charlie - 5 years ago

    I don’t dislike the spray itself, but the nozzle sucks. I can’t spray it-I actually sprained my wrist trying to get it to spray.

    Good price works well

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works well once its worked in. The smell is a bit strong for me, but its not too bad. I like the fine spray and it doesn't seem to get clogged which is a huge plus!

    Needs to be sealed better when shipping!

    It was leaking all over the box and not sealed when I received it. I tried to return but there was no option online so I just lost my money.

    Love it

    Once you get the hang of how to use this it’s awesome. Make sure to read directions! This does exactly what it says. It gives your hair nice texture and volume which is great for finer hair types like mine! I also love the smell of this product!

    Fantastic value

    This stuff is amazing with my fine, low density wavy hair. It adds a bit of grit without feeling like I used dry shampoo. The hold is surprisingly great. I like this a lot more than the Verb dry texture spray and it’s a better value.

    Strong Hold and Texture

    Good hold and is tacky enough to create textured waves and volume. Gives a little shine with no scent. The texture spray makes hair feel dirty so use before a wash day.

    Difficult spray nozzle

    I had to return my first purchase because the spray nozzle is so difficult to engage. I'm on my second attempt now and it's still very difficult to depress the spray button. This makes it difficult to use and is a bummer for a product that is $14 a bottle. I'm hopeful the product is worth the effort and will update my review after I've used it several times.

    Smell great and holds you hair well

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this hair spray because it leaves my hair smelling great, it hold my hair pretty well and it leaves it shinning too. Especially since I have a lot of hair it’s not always easy for me to find a spray that will hold my hair that well let along make it shine. The packaging is so cute and very easy to use.

    For thicker hair

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Decent spray but would not repurchase due to price, also not recommended for fine hair because it weighed my hair down quite a bit at the root. I would recommend this for those with thicker hair.

    Scent is overbearing

    I want to love this product because it definitely gives texture but the scent of these products are overbearing. I have to open my windows and put a fan on because it overtakes my entire home. I don’t like having my toddler have to endure all my hair products so I unfortunately returned this.

    I can’t use it 😕

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product in exchange for my honest feedback and unfortunately due to the ingredients listed I’m not able to use it. I have a severe avocado allergy. I’m glad I looked at the ingredients before using - was completely surprised avocado oil is in it - which would have resulted in an ER visit. I’m giving the product 3 stars because I wasn’t able to use it. I hope it works for others - I love this brand.

    10/10!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product in exchange for my honest review. This texture spray is amazing. It held my waves for 5 days when usually they only last 2. The spray nozzle puts out the perfect amount of product, while not leaving any residue. My husband also loves this for keeping his hairstyle fresh. I would definitely recommend.

    Smells amazing

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off can we talk about how good this smells. Amazing!! I found it gave good texture to my hair but since I straighten it, it loses a lot of texture. Doesn’t weigh down your hair and doesn’t leave a sticky residue like some texture sprays do. Overall I think it’s a great product!
