Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray, 4-Ounce Bottle

I really like this stuff. I like it better than the John Frieda Ocean spray, which was too oily for me (I have normal textured hair--neither fine nor coarse--that is straight, silky and with oily roots) I got my hair layered recently in an effort to get it to do more than just lie there like a limp curtain and I've found this styling spray to be a big help in achieving beachy hair. I wait until my hair is damp, then spray this all over, put my shoulder-length hair up into two ridiculous little buns on either side of my head (I make two to achieve extra-wavy hair), secure with hair elastics (could never figure bobby pins out) and leave my hair to dry while I do other stuff. Sometimes to speed things up I blast my hair (still up in buns) with a hairdryer. Then I take it down, shake it out, spritz some light-hold hairspray all over and voila! Casual, messy, beachy waves that last all day (and my hair usually refuses to hold styles). Of course, if you have dry or damaged hair, then this...Read more

I personally really loved this product when my hairdresser used it in my hair. If you read the ratings of people who rated it poorly, I would probably agree with them--it makes your hair feel gritty and a little stiff, like you took a dip in the ocean and didn't wash your hair. THAT'S THE POINT. Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray gives your hair the texture and hold of ocean mist without actually making your hair "dirty." It's awesome, but you have to know that THAT's what you're getting yourself into.

I really like this product, it creates "beach hair" with very little effort. I have very long, straight hair and it created a nice wave when I used it. It also does a great job of creating texture and volume, but it's going to give you a slight "messy" look and it will leave a bit of a residue feel in your hair, much like if you spent the day at the beach. I don't mind the feel of it though, because if you want a casual, beachy look, this stuff is perfect. Just spray it in your damp hair, blow it dry for a bit with your head turned upside down and spray it again when it's half way dry. You can also scrunch it up with your fingers while you are drying your hair if you want some more volume. When you are done, don't comb it out, just style it with your fingers and you'll be ready to go!
