Best I've tried so far

Bottom Line: recommended

I've tried many products that make the claims that this one does, but this is the first that lived up to its promises. It both defined & held my natural curls without that stiff, sprayed appearance. Use SPARINGLY--too much & your hair will get a case of those dreaded "crunchies". I was about to give up on sprays of this type, since they always gave me that awful plastic look, & when used sparingly, didn't work at all. This product, however, made the grade. If you need to apply to a smaller section of hair, such as the curls that might fall around your face when the bulk of your hair is in a barrette or something, dispense product into your hand 1st, then scrunch into hair. Yes, that'll make your hand sticky, but better to have a sticky hand that you can easily cleanse with soap & water, than to have sticky icky hair.

Great stuff to hold curls

Pros: Protects Against Heat

Describe Yourself: Product Junkie

Best Uses: Straight Hair

Bottom Line: recommended

I admit it, I'm the Queen of hot rollers! Use this every day with my longer than shoulder length straight hair to get more volume and hold curl with my layered cut. It helps to keep natural hair oils at bay so I don't have to wash daily. I've used it for at least a year, it works great and now I don't know what I'd do without it.

Pros: Holds Curl, Protects Against Heat, Smells Great

Cons: Slightly Crunchy

Describe Yourself: Minimalist

Best Uses: Straight Hair

Bottom Line: recommended

I have always wanted to have wavy/curly hairstyles, but my super straight hair would never hold curl. After seeing such great reviews, I bought it was skepticism in mind. In the past, I have tried other similar products with no success. Today, I followed the directions by putting it in my hair and then adding heat with the hair dryer, followed by the curling iron. Even after using the hair dryer, the results were noticeable. My only complaint is that it made my hair mildly crunchy, but that may be due to me over-using it. I seriously love this product, anyone that is considering buying it definitely should.

Best Hair product.

Pros: Adds Shine, Nourishing, Smells Great, Softens Hair

Describe Yourself: Beauty Conscious

Best Uses: Very Curly Hair, Wavy Hair

Bottom Line: recommended

This product is great if you have any type of curly hair it just makes it last longer and helps the curls stay more defined. I've had trouble for years trying to get my curls to last and finally I have found a product that does just that. I love this product. I just wash my hair then comb, and spray and then blow dry and there are curls. Tresemme really has made me a happy woman.

I use it every day

Want locked-in curls?

Pros: Protects Against Heat, Smooths

Describe Yourself: Beauty Conscious

Best Uses: Wavy Hair

Bottom Line: recommended

I frequently use hot rollers on my hair and am always searching for a product to protect my hair from the heat. I also need to insure that the curls will last through the day of putting it up in ponytails, etc. This product does the job! I like it a lot so far. Why not have some extra texture and hold? It does this for sure.

Love this product!!!

Pros: Durable, Good Value, High Quality

Cons: I have no cons with this

Best Uses: Great hold for fine hair

Bottom Line: recommended

I have fine hair and this product gives me great hold. I get curls without getting perms. I originally found this product in a store, and was so dissapointed when I could no longer find it. I hope they continue to make this as I've never found another product that gave me curls and hold like this does. I have fine hair, and most products make my hair too soft to hold curls, but this works great for me!
