Marc Anthony Curly Hair Spray, Strictly Curls - Curl Booster Removes Frizz, Repels Humidity & Holds Bouncy Curls - Vitamin E & Hydrolyzed Silk Hairspray Add Bounce & Volume - 8.1 Fl Oz

This product really lives up to its name. It makes my 2B hair smoother and wavier without weighing it down and has a light scent that doesn’t trigger my asthma. My hair is very fine and turns into a frizzy bird’s nest if I scrunch it or even just standing there! ;-) This product brings out my waves and visibly cuts down frizz upon first use. On wash days I spritz a few times on damp hair and gently tousle it throughout my layers, then diffuse. Between wash days I use it to refresh my waves by first spraying water throughout and then mixing in some product. A little goes a long way. The scent comes from lavender and patchouli essential oils which are pleasant and naturally relaxing. It’s light and dissipates after awhile. Great product at a great price.

This is definitely the wrong picture for this product, this is a spray, not a cream. I absolutely love the curl booster spray, but the picture on this product is the pump cream and the only reason I'm writing this review is to clarify this in case anyone else gets confused.

I love the smell and it definitely gets your curl popping!!! I don’t care for the stickiness that you feel when you first apply to your hair but it’s fine once it dries... overall the product does the job and I’ll definitely repurchase...

Love this product, all of them is good & works on all kinds of curls. This is still in the stores.

Smells too much like lemon, Which always smells like chemical lemon scent to me. Kinda works. Totally Twisted works better, but its not as good for the hair. It's usually a trade off when choosing products that are less harmful. I won't buy again. Would I recommend,? Meh...

As any curly girl will tell you, getting curls without the crunch is like finding a unicorn. Well, this might just be the unicorn we’ve all been searching for! Now there is a slight amount of crunch, but not much. And if you take the crunchy pieces and scrunch them a little bit, it goes away. My curls are soft! And big! And I love them! I used this with the coconut cream shampoo and conditioner, then I used my OGX locking + coconut curls air dry cream. I combed that through with my fingers and then plopped and scrunched with my towel until my hair was still pretty damp. Then I sprayed this all over my head, from roots to ends, before scrunching it with my towel. My hair looked slightly wavy but I decided to try and let it air dry until after dinner. Then I came back into the bathroom, and my waves turned into curls! I used my diffuser to dry it a little bit more and they’re awesome! My hair is so thick that it usually takes hours to dry, but not tonight. It took maybe 2.5 hours and it’s almost completely dry. I would recommend this to anyone with curly hair! It’s awesome!

This is the only wavy/curly hair product that actually works. I simply spray onto wet hair and let it air dry. Then I gently break the cast (scrunch) on the curls and they look great all day. Other products have weighed my hair down or made it look wet even when it was dry. This does not do that. I have used this products for a while and have never been disappointed.

So far, this has been the best alternative to TRESemme "Thermal Creations" Curl Activator Spray. They discontinued it, and there is a listing by only one vendor on eBay priced at $110!!! TRESemme Customer Service had no idea why it's gone, or if it will be manufactured in future. TRESemme "Flawless Curls" Curl Locking Finishing Spray was recommended, among others, but it's not quite right. There is tricky language in other substitutes but, obsessively reading through several lists of ingredients, this Marc Anthony booster came closest, and results have been somewhat similar ... but so far NOTHING has compared 100%. They also sell "Strictly Curls 'Curl It Up' Volume Boost Spray" which is similar. PS: My hair type is 2B-3A, curls better in different climates. (JUST shoulder length, middle-aged, Caucasian) Sometimes air dry, but bunching up sections and using a diffuser works better. UPDATE: I've been using both products for a month. I think the "Strictly Curls 'Curl It Up' Volume Boost Spray" comes closer to the TRESemme "Thermal Creations" Curl Activator Spray, but think they are both great. Aveda is 4 or 5 times the price and doesn't do as well.

Not my fave. Don’t like the scent and the residue it leaves on my hair

product makes hair rough and more frizzy

It holds the curls but too strong smell
