Lightweight protein wave spray delivers airy definition without salt-related dryness.

What the community says

A water-based styling spray with PVP and hydrolyzed rice protein that scrunches into damp hair for loose body. It also refreshes second-day waves without the usual crunchy finish. Fragrance is strong enough to bother scent-sensitive users.
