Reviews Summary
Customers say this refresh spray effectively extends time between washes while keeping hair feeling fresh. Many reviews mention its pleasant scent and ability to revive both scalp and strands without leaving residue. While most users with curly hair report excellent results for refreshing their styles, those with fine or oily hair note mixed experiences. The spray works particularly well for maintaining protective styles and post-workout refreshes. Common feedback includes its effectiveness as an alternative to dry shampoo, though some find it adds moisture rather than absorbing oil. Reviews frequently highlight its lightweight feel, though a few mention it can feel heavy on certain hair types.

    total lifesaver as I grow out my hair!

    I'm growing out my curly hair from a pixie cut, I work as a nanny, and I live in an extremely humid climate - based on these factors, my hair should never look cute. Except that it does because this refresh spray is a lifesaver! Even if I've sweated during the day on a walk while wearing a hat, this spray can revive my hair enough that I can go out to dinner and not have to spend more than 5 minutes on getting myself together. I love the smell, too.

    Made my hair even more greasy

    I had high hopes for this spray, but alas it's just another very expensive alternative shampoo product that just doesn't work for thin hair.
