You can't beat the wonderful scents of Garnier, because they go on really nice and strong but still linger lightly after they dry. This spray must be more natural in its ingredients because it doesn't cause a reaction in my overly-sensitive nose (Multiple Chemical Sensitivities) like the Wave Curls spray does, which is odd because you'd think Garnier would make all their line pretty much the same, but apparently they don't. I prefer the wavy to the crispy crunch, but since the Wave Curls spray really bothers me, I use this one when my hair is very wet or I spray it in my hand and add water to it to make a lighter serum that I can then apply and comb through so that I can distribute it really really evenly. I think that if you're getting really crunchy curls, then you aren't evenly applying it. Then, when my hair is dry, I run a pick very carefully through any crispy places and the crispiness goes away without becoming fuzzy (if you use a brush or comb, it will get frizzy). The curls will LAST. And there's no glycerin or wheat germ, which my skin is sensitive to. While I prefer a lighter "wave," this product CAN work if you are careful and patient! If you CAN use the Wave Curls, then use it, but if you need a stronger hold or if your nose needs this product, then try adapting it like I do. And it smells very natural.

I really wanted to like this product. I heard so many good things about the Garnier Fructis line, and I have used the Seek and Shine system for days when I straighten my curly hair. This gel, however, did absolutely nothing for my hair. When I use this product my hair my hair got quite frizzy, and it did not shape or define my curls at all. I even played around with the amount and distribution method to see if that made a difference, which it didnt. I didn't even finish using this product. I ended up throwing it in the trash.

      I have spent a fortune on "professional" and "designer" products for curly hair and they usually leave me looking like a french poodle or worse. This spray gel gives my curls touchable control and shine that gets me complements all the time. I hope they never discontinue it!!!!!!!!!!!!

        I have loose corkscrew curls. It is a tad crunchy, but considering the definition it gives my curls, I'm willing to overlook it. Controls frizz well and adds enough volume without making my hair feel "big".

          I use this product often. I feel it does a good job of helping to define my naturally curly shoulder-length hair for a good price. It is easy to apply and you don't have to worry about washing hair product off your hands after you spray it on. I recommend being careful where you apply it though (or how well you apply it to your hair) - I notice if I'm a bit messy when I use it in our bedroom with hardwood floors - it gets the floor a little sticky. Maybe I just need to be more careful. Scent is pleasant; and this is a great product for the price.

          It was okay...I bought it thinking it was the wave spray..which i absolutely love even though my hair is more curly then wavy. But for some reason that spray isnt carried on drugstore.com. grr. This one is a gel plain and simple, nothing extraordinary. Although it does smell great

              I have straight hair but found this is a great product to give me some body and smooths my frizzled ends. Worked best if my hair is slightly damp, and then shape in some body waves with my hands. I like it much better than a heavy gel or slimy mousse product. Smells okay too.

              I have curly hair and have a hard time finding products that are not too heavy and don't cause frizz. This product is great for a later day pick-me-up to my style...and also to add in a little more volume. I use it in addition to hair gel I use on a daily basis. I have tried A LOT of products and this is a good product at a great value.

              It's crunchy, but it is gel. Smells nice and gets the job done with a few crispy curls along the way. Not bad.
