Promising review: "This product does wonders for my curly hair. No frizz, and it feels silky soft. I just apply it wet and let it air dry. Works great." —Cindy Price: $9.97 (also available in two-pack) Promising review: "It's very nice. I love it. It definitely tames the frizz. It's better than hair spray for my hair."—Adrienne Promising review: "By far one of the best foams out there for my 3b/3c curls. Sometimes I just use this product and let my hair air-dry, and it retains MAXIMUM moisture! My hair has a very normal porosity, and I cannot layer more than two products, so this is an ideal product if you enjoy a minimalistic routine!" —Aura Promising review: "Love the way this smells and also how soft it makes my hair! I have 2A type hair and focus only on my mid-length to my ends when I use this spray. It helps keep the frizz at bay and defines my waves beautifully without adding weight or a greasy look. I air dry, and it’s been great!" —Sarah Promising review: "If you want to give volume and lift to the roots of your hair, I would highly recommend this product. I feel like it's a good value for the price, and it works wonderfully. I use this to give volume and lift to the root area of my hair, and my hairstyle stays solid for days with this stuff! This is a great product, and I highly recommend it if you're looking for volume and hold. This is it! I just said it with a little bit of hairspray, and my hairstyle will hold for two or more days with this stuff, it is that good!" —Angela Price: $8.94 (also available in a three-pack) Promising review: "I heard about this product from IG and decided to give it a go since it is fairly inexpensive. I was so pleasantly surprised by the impact ONE use had! It is also foolproof! My hair was so shiny and soft! I ended up purchasing three more to give as gifts!" —Kate Promising review: "The best hair oil hands down for my unruly wavy hair. Works very well with low porosity. It keeps my hair silky and frizz-free for days. It smells like a dream, I get compliments all the time that my hair smells amazing." —Ashley Promising review: "My hair is very frizzy, and this is very light. It doesn't feel like hairspray at all. It does work, and I'm loving it. I would highly recommend it. Especially if you have curly hair." —Christian Promising review: "This is hands down the best hairspray I have ever used. It holds hair without making it feel like hard concrete. It leaves your hair still feeling soft yet manageable while providing a long-lasting hold that you really don't need to reapply, maybe once a day if that." —Amanda Promising review: "I love that it is a 'leave-in' conditioner, but that once it’s dry, it helps hold in curls. Those times that I want my hair a bit straighter, it holds a LOT better than hairspray alone. Great product, I definitely recommend it!!!" —Liz Promising review: "Purchased this Pacifica hair detangler for my thin hair after swimming and boating to help with tangles. This stuff works really well for the price! The smell is the best part. I love the coconut scent. It's like a tropical paradise in a bottle, and it works well for dry hair after swimming. I will definitely repurchase this product since the coconut smell is amazing. The spray bottle it comes in is very easy to use and provides an even, fine mist when applying to your hair as well." —Hayley Promising review: "I was skeptical about the scent staying, but it does last. I use this hair mist on my hair, and it smells like Herbal Essences' rose shampoo. It doesn't weigh my hair down. Recommend it if you want your hair to smell good!" —Anna Price: $9.97 (available in three scents) Promising review: "I use this product on the daily! After showering, I spray this in my hair right away. I allow it to soak in for a little bit, and then I comb through it. Spraying this in my hair before combing it out really helps keep it from tangling and keeps it looking nourished, shiny, and soft! And not to mention, it helps prevent pulling out a bunch of hair. My hair is already thin the way it is... I don't need it to be even more thinned out. It smells really good too!" —Cassue Promising review: "I have long, natural curly hair and have always had issues with frizz. I have tried many products for frizz and to bring out my natural curls, and this is the first hair product that has done exactly what I needed. It's not sticky to the touch. I will be buying this for my hair all the time. I highly recommend it." —Robin Price: $19.97 (also available in individual packets) Promising review: "Tried this based on other reviews and extremely happy with it. It leaves my hair soft, manageable, and easy to style without any powdery residue like some other dry shampoos. The scent is really nice and light. I also love the bottle's texture, so it's easy to hold and use without slipping. I'm super happy, and this is my new 'go-to' dry shampoo!" —Heather Promising review: "I decided to try this instead of the spray. It definitely seems better, but the spray may be easier by a hair! (Pun intended). Thankfully, it does not have a strong perfume smell. I hate perfumes, and if I say it’s not unpleasant, most people probably would agree. I don’t notice much of a smell that I recall. Believe me, if it were obvious, I would not keep using it. It makes my hair soft, and it definitely works, probably at least as well as the spray does. I do believe that it lasts longer, and I like that it’s not an aerosol. I think it’s worth the cost difference compared to the spray from this same brand. I will buy again unless I start to make my own (I did find a recipe online)." —Diggedy Promising review: "I always use texture spray when I curl my hair, and this one is awesome! Their formula doesn't make my hair feel caked with product. It dries quickly after the spray, and the hold is 10/10!" —Jada Promising review: "A must have if you have soft hair! My hair doesn't work with the satin rollers — they only fall out. Switched to these velvet ones and, omg, TOTAL game changer. Highly recommend!!" —Alyssa Promising review: "I've been using this product for over a decade now. I love the way it makes my hair smell. It makes it look super shiny even AFTER it dries, and I straighten it. Again, it smells so good, I get a lot of compliments, and everyone always asks me what hair products I use! It makes my hair super soft. Obsessed, and I'll always use it. It's a 10! It doesn't make your hair greasy like similar products do. It's easy to manage, super simple, and super easy to spray. Manageable, and the ease of use is perfect. It comes with instructions. Pretty simple stuff. Color is clear, and it comes in a cute purple bottle." —Monique Promising review: "I would never use hair products, but when I started using Frizz-Ease, I knew that that was the product for me!! It smooths my hair, gives it a nice texture, does not produce or leave any flecks or dandruff, and has an awesome scent. It is excellent! Purchase it! You won't be sorry!!" —Marilyn Price: $8.97 (also available in a multi-pack) Promising review: "If you're struggling with super dry hair, this works really well. Just pour enough to fill the palm of your hand and rub it in. It's the best. My hair has a nice shine and bounce." —Corannia Just a note that you don't have to lay your edges, but this is great if you do! Promising review: "My favorite one of these!! It doesn't come out white, it doesn't make the hair hard, and it actually stays in place. I don't know how they do it, but I'm so happy! My mom passed down her million baby hairs and flyaways, so I've bought and given her two so far! ❤️" —Hali Promising review: "I use this daily. Love how my hair doesn't have frizz. I don't like wearing my hair down, but since using this, I have been wearing my hair down, and I love it." —Brenda * Hair Products Reviewers Say Withstand Humidity, Rain, And/Or Sweat * If Frizz Is Your Arch Nemesis, You Need These 30 Hair Products * Even Reviewers Who Call Themselves “Lazy” Had Success With These 27 Hair Products * Things That’ll Make You Feel Like A Pro At Doing Your Hair * Hair Products That Reviewers In Their 40s And 50s Love BuzzFeed Shopping is service journalism first: our writers and editors spend all day shopping so you don’t have to, vetting products, fact-checking brand claims, and surfacing what actually helps in real life.
