Nature's Brands Herbal Choice Mari Organic Hair Spray; 8oz

I was looking for an alternative to salt spray to use on my locs where I get some frizz and to help them form better and this is working great. The salt spray is just so harsh so I decided to try a sugar based alternative. A few things to consider- the spray isn't sticky but if you were to run your hand over the sprayed area you will feel a texture similar to salt spray so I don't knwo how thsi woudl effect fine hair. The spray does wear off at the end of the day so it is easy to wash out. The smell is a big miss for me- I belive it is the geranium oil that is prevalent. Its not terrible and it doesn't smell chemically but I was hoping for a more mildy herbal scent where its much more floral- the smell does dissapate fast after application. I added some other essential oils to brign the geranium scent down.

I have ordered this 2 times now! I am pregnant, so I wanted something organic and safe to use. I wear my hair up in a pony tail every day and I get hairs that don’t want to stay back since my hair is fine. This stuff has enough hold but my hair still stays flexible. I’m not sure why there are reviews saying it leaves their hair crunchy. I haven’t felt that with my hair at all. It works great for me!

I was so looking forward to trying this product because of its less toxic ingredients. So disappointed! The scent is fine. The drying power is okay. The huge problem for me is that it dries to a hard, crispy type texture that is impossible to comb after using it. It's unmanageable. My hair is shoulder length, natural curly, and on the thin side. I was very careful to use this spry very sparingly on my hair, needing it just to help tame the humidify frizz and give it some support. After I would use this product, the only way I could get a comb or brush through it was to wet or wash my hair. I even tried spraying the product lightly on my hand and then gently applying it through my hair. It didn't make a difference. After several unsatisfying attemps to use this product I felt that I had to write this review.

I’ve slowly been replacing every day products that I use once empty with those that are verified by the EWG. Finding a hairspray that is nontoxic and does not contain the harmful chemicals that I’m trying to avoid has been a challenge, but this product does the job. I really enjoy the natural scent that it gives my hair using essential oils. If you’re expecting a strong hold that an aerosol hairspray typically gives, this will not live up to that. However, if you need a light to medium hold, I find that this spray does the trick without causing respiratory irritations.

I purchased this to replace the toxic hairspray that I had been using. I purchased the smallest size available as I was skeptical that it would work. To my surprise it actually holds better than the toxic hairspray. It is organic and has a natural scent from essential oils. It only takes a small amount so don’t spray too much. I am sold on this and will be ordering the large bottle soon!
