OMG MY FAVORITE HAIR PRODUCT EVER. I looove this spray gel!! On days I blow-dry my hair straight, I can spray it all over for a beachy, textured, volumey and wavy effect. On days I diffuse my hair into full-around waves that after an hour or so flatten a bit, this is the PERFECT product for the extra curl, volume and frizz-control. LOVE it!!! I can never get enough. I always need more, more, and yes, MORE!!!

This product did not work for the purpose I was hoping it would. I was wanting to use it in conjunction with my curl shaping mousse by Garnier (THAT I LOVE!!!) to help bring out my natural curls. This spray gel just made my hair crunchy and I felt like it weighted down my curls rather than pumping them up. I gave this 3 lippies because it would be great for any purpose other than scrunching. It would be great to hold up-dos as it has a nice strong hold. But if your going for a natural curl and want something that won't weigh them down, this may not be the best match.

Overall, this is a pretty good product. I had just gotten my hair permed and used this. It didn't make my hair crunchy, unless you really spray a lot. I loved the way it smelled, and how it enhanced the curl. You can scrunch it, or twist and make ringlets. The only con is that it doesn't control frizz. Overall, pretty good.

This spray gel was okay, nothing fabulous, but okay. I would repurchase if I found it super cheap or just wanted to try it again one more time.

Once again, Garnier has come through for me and is fast becoming the ONLY hair care line that I need. I like this product very much & use it in conjunction with the Long & Strong leave in conditioner. Applied to my color treated hair when freshly washed and still damp, its just what I need to bring out the natural wave that was much more pronounced when I was younger and my hair was thicker than it is today. I feel as if it CONTROLS my hair and gives it body, without weighting it down too much. What's more, this leaves it VERY shiny and healthier than it has looked in a long time. AND the price is very reasonable (under $3 for 8.5 oz). This will definitely be a regular use product for me.

I got this based on MUA reviews, and this has become a staple for me. I love the fact that it is a versatile product...I can use it on wet hair to help boost my curls, and I can also use it on dry hair to help rejuvenate my curls. The product is very good, especially for such a cheap price. Thank you, MUA!

This may sound over-the-top, but this is the product I've been searching for since forever! Thank you so much MUA! I have naturally wavy hair and I've tried so many things to put on my hair while it's damp that would leave my waves nice and defined, shiny, and elimate frizz without making my hair crunchy. And while that sounds like a lot to ask for from a styling product, this does exactly that! After the shower when my hair is pretty damp, (but not dripping) I flip my hair upside down, spray it all over, scrunch, and it dries looking shiny with beautiful waves. I will continue to repurchase at this great price. ($4.99 at Walgreens)

This stuff smells good, but that's just about it. It does nothing for my curls. It is very sticky and comes out kinda clumpy.

Not bad for such an inexpensive gel. I picked it up at Target for $2.79 after I ran out of DevaCurl Angell. This works pretty well for a quarter of the price. I use it with wet hair (after using B&B Curl Conscious Creme) to give it extra hold and it shapes my curls beautifully. I spray this into my hand, rub my hands together, rake it through my hair, then gently scrunch. Doing it this way prevents overly heavy appliction. Also, like many Garnier products (for me), I get heavy build-up with regular use.

This is the best curling product I've used so far. Gorgeous spiral curls that last all day. The only gripe I have is that occasionally I get little fly-awayish frizz pieces around my hair after a couple hours. I probably need an additional anti-frizz product. But I'll keep using this till something better comes along.

This is an amazing product. My hair is loosely curly and thick, but tends to fall flat. I spray this on wet hair, let it air dry, and I have beautiful, perfectly shaped curls with tons of volume! I find it works best if I use a lot (about 15 spritzes on short hair), so my hair *does* dry a bit crunchy. If I scrunch it a bit, it softens into a more natural look.

This is the second part of my hair care HG. I have fine hair with a perm cut into a curly bob. This spray gel gives my curls nice shape. I air dry and my hair does not get crunchy. This is better than many of the high-end curl products I have tried. I really love this stuff.

So far, I am really impressed with this. I have thick wavy hair which I usually wear straight but lately I have been wanting to experiment with other looks. I am not someone to spend forever on my hair. I like to be able to do it quickly and go! This stuff works to define my waves and gives them hold without being sticky. It's easy to work with since it is a spray as well. Love the smell of all the Garnier Fructis products as well.

I have lots of fine hair that is a few inches longer than my shoulders, with a tiny bit of natural wave which I've always tried to accentuate as much as possible. After spraying this on my damp hair and scrunching it, all the sudden I have these amazing drop dead beautiful curls!! I've tried other curl products but they leave my hair stiff, sticky, frizzy, and nasty. This one very easily brings out the curls without leaving any build-up. It sure beats any curling iron for me because the look is much more natural. Plus, the smell is incredible. I've gotten lots of good comments on my hairs look and smell after using this. Overall, the best curling spray I've ever used. Major rave here!! PS. Great for parties because I crashed on the floor with this stuff in my hair, expecting a really bad hair day in the morning, but after just a couple runs through my hair with my fingers it looked just fine :) I'm going to put this stuff in a mini-bottle so I can put it in my purse and use it for the morning after because it does excellently on dry hair as well.

I have naturally wavy, if unruly, hair. Every day for years, I have straightened my hair with help from a blow dryer, a straightening iron, or both. Just recently it occured to me...what is the point of torturing my hair into submission every day? Wavy hair can be just as beautiful as poker straight locks. And since my hair is naturally wavy, it will cut my getting ready time by a lot! So I was on the lookout for a product that would give my waves definition and tame frizz at the same time. I came across this Curl Shaping Spray Gel, and I couldn't be happier. First of all, I bought it for $2.99 at my local Harmons Discount. And for that price you get A LOT of product. When I use it on wet/damp hair and then air dry or use a diffuser, I am left with perfectly defined waves and little frizz. When I use it on dry hair as a refresher, it does just that, refreshes limp, tired waves. Along with the nice, fruity smell, I think this product is HG. If you, like me, decide to go au natural, try this out. You won't be disappointed!
Edited 3.13.08: I no longer use this gel. Over time it built up a real sticky film on my hair :( I'm still on the lookout for the perfect gel.

This product is fantastic! I tried it when my hair stylist said that if she had to pick from a non salon brand of styling aids and products, she would choose this brand. I have very curly, frizzy hair, and have NEVER been able to wear it curly, I have always had to straighten it, but now that I've found this product, I always wear it curly. It's not sticky, smells great, and is super inexpensive, I pay only $2.86 at walmart for it!

I decided to try this since I already had one of their hairsprays. I used it a little while ago, and it does define my curls. It isn't sticky and doesn't make my hair hard. It smells nice too. Overall a good product!
