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.

"He probado varios champús en seco, pero el de Kristin Ess me sorprendió por lo ligero que se siente. Refresca bien el cabello sin dejar esa textura pegajosa o polvosa que dejan otros. El aroma es floral y elegante, aunque algo intenso si eres sensible a los olores. Lo mejor es que no deja residuos blancos, incluso en mi cabello oscuro. El único punto negativo es que, después de un par de usos, el espray puede obstruirse un poco. Aun así, lo seguiría comprando por la calidad del producto."

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

My go to texture spray. I have bought multiple cans of this spray. It definitely gives your hair volume and texture. It will hold curls better as well if you first apply this texture spray. I like to add it to my roots and it gives me so much lift. This is the best texture spray on the market!

Sorry to say this product did not work very well for me. Don't feel it gave my hair any lift at all. Have tried several times and the results are the same. I have chin length hair cut in a Bob, hoping to get some volume on top.

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.

This product works amazing! I love the smell and how it adds such volume to my hair! It’s a decent size too so a good price for the size!

Obsessed with this texture spray! It’s the added umph my hair needs without having to use a sticky hairspray. Lasts me a long time, the volume and texture added to my hair is perfect for what I want and doesn’t feel heavy.
