It is basically seawater [well, water + seasalt], oils, a cone and a bunch of other unpronouncable stuff. It seems like a bad idea to actually spray saltwater into your hair, but "Curly Girl" author says salt helps separate the curls and gives them definition. Many curly girls say their best hair days are at the ocean.

I found mine at WalMart for a little over 5$.

Instructions say to use on wet or dry hair, I tried it both ways.

I found that the spray deal doesn't really 'mist' it is more like a 'stream', so I used too much the first time on dry hair. But it did enhance my waves/curls, it gave me a ropey look, with the spirals starting up higher on my head.

It worked better on wet hair, I sprayed it into my palms and worked it into the hair before combing it through, and air drying.

I like the look, it is fun and would be appropriate for an outdoor or street setting. Not sure how well it would go down at the office lol.

I am thinking that if you have any wave pattern at all in your hair, then this stuff will enhance it.

There were two things I did not like, first the spray pump did not mist for me. Second, it smells strongly of coconut, and I do not like to smell like a food item [I had cravings for the bag of Mounds candy bars stashed away in the cupboard lol]. DH liked it tho

How are you doing? I am sure glad I found everyone again, the other site just fizzled completely for me. Almost cut my hair hee hee

I'm sorry it took you so long to make your way here, but you're here now! You've got lots of back posts to read, so get to it lol.

I too used it. The first time I did as the directions said. I sprayed it on wet combed out hair from the roots to the ends. Then took sections and twisted them and let dry. I finger combed the hair when dry and it left a little wave pattern in the hair.

A better way for defined waves is to spray it onto wet hair and then braid sections and let completely dry then finger combe. The waves are more separated than regular braided wet sets.

I agree with everything said about the smell the idea of salt and such but on occasion it's fun to do.

I'm using it for my "Curly Girl" gel, since it contains VP/VA Copolymer. It really enhances my waves, and I like that it sprays on. It's a keeper!
