Video reviews
Best for
  • • Frizz-prone straight or wavy hair that gets blow-dried
  • • Humid climates and rainy days
  • • Keeping a sleek blowout looking fresh for days
  • • Straight to wavy hair wanting soft beach waves
  • • Adding texture to heat-styled waves
  • • Fans of OUAI's North Bondi scent
Strengths
  • Creator humidity and rain tests show blowouts staying smooth and glossy
  • Brand says results last through 3–4 shampoos
  • Doubles as a heat protectant, so no separate spray is needed
  • Salt-free formula that the brand says keeps hair soft and hydrated
  • Adds beachy texture without crunch, according to creator reviews
  • Works for heatless waves or after curling irons and wavers
Watch-outs
  • Hair must be saturated section by section, so it uses a lot of product
  • Needs a blow-dryer and brush tension to activate; air-drying gives limited benefit
  • Light-hold texturizer rather than a strong-hold styler
  • Contains fragrance allergens plus Yellow 5 and Red 33 dyes
