I love this spray, you put a little bit in after you style your hair and work it through roughly with your figures. It immediately gives it hold and texture. You don't need to go crazy with it like hairspray, I made that mistake the first time and it was a little sticky. But now I've gotten the hang of it, I usually like to spray it lightly after I've curled my hair, I've tried putting it in before curling it, but I think it works much better applying it after. It also seems to hold the curl for ages, I don't know how but I went to bed and woke up in the morning an it was still fabulous, curly and voluminous so I absolutely love it!
