Q: Can this be used in tandem with Ouai anti-frizz cream? If so, which order of application is best?
submitted by Kayla - 7 months ago
A: Hi Kayla, Wave Spray absolutely can be used with Anti-Frizz Créme. We recommend starting with freshly cleansed, wet hair, and a Leave In Conditioner to detangle hair (ours is great). Start with one pump of Anti-Frizz Créme by rubbing your palms together to ensure even distribution and help warm Anti-Frizz Créme so it’s even easier to apply, and then apply starting at the ends of your hair. This is where the hair is usually drier and more prone to frizz. Gently work your OUAI through the ends and up towards the mid-lengths and roots. Focus on areas where frizz is most prominent, such as the crown or around the face. Use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to ensure even distribution. Now you can add styling products of your choice, in this case our Wave Spray. Let your hair air dry or heat style. Continue to use Anti-Frizz Créme and Wave Spray in-between wash days for frizz-free touch-ups and hydration.

I kinda like it
It smells wonderful and works great. But in the description it says that if the hairs dry you can put it on and it'll work. But it only really works good if your hair damp. Smells wonderful and when it is damp the hair comes out really good. I would add another product to it but as is still gives pretty good results.

Excellent product
I recommend this product. It has that fabulous Quai smell which I love! I have fairly long hair and it takes quite a bit of product. Having said that I will buy again. I love this product and it does what it is supposed to do.

Waves without feeling heavy
I have wavy hair and this spray helps define the waves without making my hair flat or crunchy. It doesn't dry my hair out and honestly feels like nothing is in it but I can see the defined, beach wave look. Light and easy to use and is not sticky or greasy or salty feeling!

Check the photo!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] No need to explain with long words when you can see the difference from the photo. It makes my curls so lovely and it holds my curls long enough. The scent is another plus point of this product!

Lifesaver
My husband has very tight curls but somehow our kids’ hair ended up with very frizzy, loose, undefined curls. I’ve been searching everywhere for a leave in product that keeps her curls defined. And since she has thin strands of hair, it’s been difficult. This stuff has been a life saver. It takes just a few sprays and a comb thru with fingers to get the curls going. And it smells amazing. I just wish that for the price point, they would put more in the bottle.

Very strong smell
I like how the product works but the smell is soooo strong. I really wish companies would make unscented products. I don't want my hair products to over power my perfume!

Amazing
I'm completely obsessed with the Ouai Wave Spray! From the very first spritz, it delivered the effortlessly tousled, beachy waves I've always wanted—without any crunch or residue. The formula is impressively weightless—it layers beautifully on both damp and dry hair, and never feels sticky or stiff gifted by ouai

Complimentary from ouai - if you're looking for a spray to give your hair a similar style to beach waves then this works well! I like how it doesn't have any salt in it and worked really well with my hair!

Great hair product
This Ouai wave spray was gifted to me by Ouai. It helps my naturally wavy hair form really nice beach waves. The spray doesn't make my hair feel crispy but pretty soft as well. Overall I would recommend.

Amazing for waves and beachy look
This product is so good for wavy and curly hair. It gives my hair the perfect amount of hold and texture for a variety of styles. I like to use it on damp hair to add lots of waves and high shine. I also like to use this on dry hair to refresh it and give it a finished look. This gives my hair hold and definition without being sticky or crunchy. Love this wave spray. I was gifted by OUAI and am so happy to have found this.

Frizzy beach waves
It has a delightful scent that brings out my 2C waves, that looks just like beach waves. I enjoyed the results. However, it does cause my hair to become slightly frizzy. I would greatly appreciate it if the bottle were more luxurious; the plastic material feels somewhat cheap compared to the price. A reusable and refillable glass bottle would be a much better option.

Makes my waves look nicer
I received the Wave Spray complimentary from Ouai in exchange for my honest review. This spray was made for people like me. I have fine, wavy hair with several issues that this wave spray addresses. After washing my hair in the morning, i apply this wave spray and gently work it into my hair. It makes my hair look smooth and more full as well as giving my waves some extra definition.

I received this product complimentary from OUAI. I am in total love with this wave spray. I use it every time after I wash my hair and before I dry my hair and I can see the results. This is my new love! Excellent hair spray.

Holy grail for fine wavy hair
For my hair type this is perfection! I have fine wavy hair, and most curly hair products are too heavy or sticky and I hate feeling like there's a lot of product in my hair. This is the perfect product to define my texture without sacrificing softness or volume! I use it on damp hair after showering, and for touchups throughout the day. I love the scent though I do wish it wasn't as strong. Will buy over and over again! I recommend this for people with thin and wavy hair that just needs a little boost.
