Philip B . Maui Wowie Volumizing & Thickening Beach Mist 150 ml

I have wavy hair and prefer a more natural, air-driedlook so I have tried every wave spray on the market (unless of course I can't stand the smell of it - but that's only a brand or two). This is my favorite so far, as it produces pretty waves and body without leaving my hair overly crunchy and stiff feeling. It also has a clean scent without that horrible cheap suntan lotion aroma that so many wave sprays have. If you have a bit of natural wave in your hair and want to maximize it, I recommend this product. You can spray your hair lightly, scrunch it with your hands, and let it dry without any more thought. What's not to like?

My favorite beach spray. I spray it on and then air-dry, and get really nice beachy waves that aren't heavy or too dry. Rated it 4/5 because the only thing I don't like about it is the smell -- it's strong. Not bad, but definitely strong. I also have to spray quite a bit for it to work best. But it really works for the beach look, so I'll keep using it.

I find that success using beach spray is heavily dependent on hair type. This one creates body, shape and texture for me without dryness or crunchiness, which I really like. It is the only one I tried that is neither drying nor heavy, and allows me get a great look when I air dry. In contrast, Bumble's version is a more "authentic" ocean experience - salty, matte, ropy, a little dry etc. I like the Maui Wowie best for everyday, and use the Bumble for really beachy looks. For me, the best way is to spray a lot (that's important) on damp hair and air dry without brushing/combing. I also find that type of product works much better for layered hair. For reference, I have straight hair that is normal to fine, with a long layered cut. Overall, this is one of my favorite styling products.

PROS: Very volumizing -- more than any other beach spray I've tried. Moisturizes without weighing the hair down. Nice smell that doesn't overpower or compete with perfume. CONS: Turns my hair slightly too blond for some reason. Made my cheeks break out after two uses! Due to the breakouts, I will not be using this again. I've had problems with other hair products that contain oils, including the Sexy Hair beach spray with argan oil and a L'Oreal leave-in treatment. My cheeks RARELY break out but hair products are the one thing that unfortunately can give me issues in this area:-(

This is a great mist to use to create some body and texture to hair. It has a beachy, tropical, salty-ocean type of a smell. I rarely use styling products so sometimes I just use this on my skin instead, for the scent. It's about $20, so it's not cheap, but it's worth it.
