We all know hair scrunching is now deemed unacceptable, but we wavy-haired girls need something to boost waves and control frizz. I think I have discovered a new Holy Grail product: TIGI Catwalk Session Series Salt Spray.
I use it on both wet and dry hair. Either way, the results are almost as good as true beach waves. The product is kind of sticky at first but dries to a matte texture. I did not notice a ton of volume and shine, as promised. However, I am still impressed my waves looked somewhat done but were not hair-spray-hard. My hair still felt light and the product didn’t cause any tangles.
I kind of think of this product as a three-in-one: waves, fragrance, and hairspray. I already mentioned the waves but let me explain the other two:
The fragrance of this product is strong. It gave me a slight headache the first day I tried it but I eventually got used to and even started to like it. I can not quite put my finger on the scent but it’s similar to a fruity summer cocktail. When I use this product, I don’t bother wearing perfume and mixing scents – I let it double as a wave-booster and fragrance.
Finally, it also worked pretty good as a hairspray. I curl my hair with hot rollers. My aerosol hairspray was in the back of my linen closet but the salt spray was right in front of my face – so I figured if it could boost waves, it could boost and hold curls; I was right. My hair stayed curled for THREE days (and still looked decent after sleeping on it) thanks to this salt spray.
I really like the packaging. It's smaller in diameter than most hairsprays, so it fits more comfortably in my hand while using it, and it takes up less storage space. The all-black bottle with silver print is really sleek and easy on the eyes.
This was the first salt spray I’ve tried, so I have no clue how it compares to other brands but I’m definitely impressed and will use this for awhile.
