I actually like the smell of this. It's a shame that this leaves your hair feeling and looking parched. It def. brought out my natural wave pattern and gave my hair the much needed volume it craves, but this is the type of product that you will need to wash daily if you use it. I hate washing daily so that would be my reason why I wouldn't purchase this again. My hair looked kick a** after I used it, but the next day it looked dried out and not good :(. If washing your hair daily isn't an issue for you and you have naturally wavy hair you want to enhance, then go for it!
To be fair, I have yet to try a beach spray that makes my stick straight hair look any different than normal. This one didn't do much either. I followed the directions, scrunching and twisting using a diffuser to blow dry and ended up with....stick straight hair with a bit more fly-aways than normal, but also a little more shine than normal. I don't consider this a very good product for volume, my volumizing mousse gives much better volume. At least this one didn't make my hair look greasy. The smell is like the old discontinued John Frieda beach spray...coconuty. I gave this a 3 because of the shine and no grease factor and maybe it works on some other hair type.
I have been waiting forever for a drugstore-priced sea salt spray that works well on my finer hair. This product is great! I spray it on my damp hair and then blow dry with a diffuser. It gives my hair beautiful waves and volume without being sticky or stiff. I am really struck at how soft it leaves my hair, and yet has staying power that lasts all day. I like that it is versatile enough to be used on wet or dry hair. I also appreciate that the spray nozzle shoots out fine mists of the product, rather than big, concentrated squirts, which helps to evenly distribute it over my hair. Overall a wonderful product, and very comparable to sea salt sprays from KMS and Healthy Sexy Hair.
I spray this in my long, straight DRY hair and scrunch for a TON of runway-esque volume. Not for every day use, but for a party or when I need my mid-back length hair to look "special", this does it. Spray in generously, scrunch, curl lightly and sparsely, and voila. Sex hair.
Could not get over the scent of this product. As far as styling...not impressed. Had to throw away because of the smell.
I LOVE this spray! That said, I'm not sure I'd say it gives beachy waves, at least not on my hair, but for me, that's a good thing. I always think I want beach waves, so I've bought and made a ton of products supposed to give that effect, but I've found them all to be either too drying and leave my hair way too matte for my tastes, or they make my hair greasy and too wild looking. This product doesn't do either of those things - It really enhances my natural waves, and if I twist my hair as it dries after using this, it gives me amazing waves that look like they were heat styled, and that last for days. I adore this product and will definitely be buying more.
As a side note, unlike the previous reviewer, I didn't find the scent cloying at all. It was very light and didn't linger.

Created a tad bit of volume and texture, but left my hair dry and crispy. Also, the scent was cloying.
