I tried this on a whim and was pleased. Smells good, and doesn't make my hair look greasy. Hair is soft and protected. This entire line of hair care products is fantastic. (Just be sure to click the button to open spray nozzle.)

Smells just like the Pacific island suntan lotion
Summer is just around the corner so I jumped online to do early research on best scented nautical misty hair sprays. Reading through the comments, I noticed the SUN BUM brand was mentioned and was glad to see Target sells it so I took a chance. It arrived in sealed package with yellow nozzle spray. I prefer the more simple push down lids than the handle ones. I shook the bottle and the blue has settled to the bottom with clear water at the top. Hard to read the labels though. The liquid inside reminds me of ocean blue salty waves. The smell is very much like that famous tropical Pacific island sun lotion only the Sun Bum is for hair. Nice! Note: I did have some trouble trying to get the nozzle to spray. Target had taped over the neck and I thought it was to prevent leakage not realizing I was supposed to push in the side tab.

Expensive
This is my absolute favorite hair spray/detangler and heat protectant. That being said, it’s gotten so expensive over the last couple years!! It’s crazy to pay $17 for this little bottle, but I guess I will because nothing compares to it.
