Kristin Ess Dry Texture Hair Spray | Volumizing & Texturizing Styler, Ultra-light Hold Hairspray for Curls, Waves, & Fine Hair | Soft Matte Finish, Fresh Pear Fragrance, 7 oz

At the ripe age of 52, I have finally figured out how to make my hair hold a curl!I have fine, slightly wavy hair. It's got just enough body to be frizzy, but not the kind of frizzy that would benefit from the "curly girl method" regimen. Tried that and failed already.My hair refuses to hold a curl. I had it styled last month with beautiful curls and ran to take pictures before they all fell out, which happened in about 45 minutes. They NEVER last.I once had a professional hairstylist try to curl my hair for a walk on part and after a couple of futile attempts she frustratedly asked me why I didn't tell her up front that my hair wouldn't hold a curl. Embarrassed, I said, "I thought maybe you knew a trick I didn't."She softened after that, but the point stands that my natural hair's stubborn refusal to bend to any curling iron's will confounds professionals too.I tried "curly" hair products, but they're just for defining truly curly hair, not mine. They left my hair straight, limp and greasy. Searching for "curl spray" only turned up other similar disasters.Somehow, my searches this time turned up a "texturizing spray" that led me here. Well, not HERE to this product, but to another way more pricey version.Knowing the key term was a "texturizing spray", I ended up here and bought this spray.Today, I tried it along with a brand new (cheap) curling wand to do my hair for Thanksgiving and holy cow, I've finally found what I'm looking for!I sprayed this onto my dry hair, and massage it in, letting it dry. I didn't use more than a few split second shots of spray. I noticed my freshly dried hair definitely looked like it had a lot of volume, but it's always that way right after being dried. Volume? Frizz? Sometimes it all just looks the same to me.As I went to work with the curling wand, I left each curl to cool and dry on its own. I made it all the way around both sides of my head and was shocked that My curls were still holding. In fact, when I ran my hands through the curls I thought, "Oh this is too much. I can't style this. I'll look ridiculous. I need a barrette or something."After about 30 minutes the curls calmed down enough that I felt comfortable with them, but I was shocked! My hair doesn't hold a curl! Except now it does!I took a photo of the back of my hair 20 minutes after first curling it, and took a comparison photo of my hair 9 hours later. Most of my curls are still there! This has never happened in my life.My long time hairstylist just used a hair straightener on my wedding day because we both know there was no hope if trying for curls. But this spray has made the impossible possible!There are several criticisms of this spray that I have read in other reviews. My thoughts on them:Yes the spray nozzle is a little temperamental. At first I thought it was broken but after a firm press and a test spray into the sink, I had it figured out.Some people say they don't like the scent. There is no strong, discernible scent that I can tell.Other commenters have written that it's not as great as another brand of texturizing spray. That may be so. I went for this brand because it was one of the cheaper ones. Still, I'm amazed. Just amazed. So amazed that I'm writing this on my phone on Thanksgiving night. So yeah, 5 stars from the curly haired woman sitting on her couch.

I have silky fine hair and I've struggled with maintaining volume after styling. I've used hair sprays, mouses, dry shampoo, root lift and combinations of different products and still my styles would fall flat. I've purchased the WOW products with no success. It is like my hair some how absorbs them and falls flat. This is the first product that has stood alone and maintains my hair volume after styling. Extremely pleased with this product.

Love this product smells amazing. The only problem I have with this product is it’s a little to spray.

Best texture spray! I really like this texture spray. It’s a great price point, the spray quality is good, it’s not sticky at all, and it allows me to style my thin hair with some grip. Would recommend and or buy again!

I have very thin hair. So I’m always looking for a good quality hairspray. But this, but the pressure of the contents is so high, that when I spray it, my hair just flies everywhere.!I traditionally don’t ever buy anything that I cannot return on Amazon. But I screwed up on this one and now I’m stuck with it.

I bought this in an effort to find something more affordable than my favorite Milbon Texture Spray. This doesn’t give much texture at all. I’d rather pay more for my Milbon spray that actually works and doesn’t need as much product to make a difference in my hair compared to this one.

Love this stuff! Adds great volume and texture to my hair.

Does not leave my hair greasy nor sticky. Works great on my hair
