    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.

    Works okay

    I have thick, naturally curly hair that I heat style regularly. For the most part, this works pretty well. I find that I have to use a lot of it to get the desired effect though, which causes me to go through it pretty quickly. I also find that it doesn’t protect my hair from humidity very well. It works great against heat damage though and leaves my hair soft and shiny. I prefer salon quality stuff to heat style my hair, but this works on occasion.
