Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Texturizing Hair Cream, 4 Ounce

I have wavy, curly (type 2b/2c) that tends to get very dry and very frizzy. This is one of the few products that tames my frizz, moisturizes, and keeps flyaways in check. It has a nice, light smell, and a little goes a LONG way - and I have relatively thick hair. It can be a bit hard to work through your hair, so it works best on very damp hair or if you mix it with a bit of water. I use this with the Not Your Mother texturizing sea salt spray and it's one of the VERY few product combinations that make me feel like I'm in control of my hair, not the other way around! I've never found a brand that my hair responds to better - not even that expensive brand for curly hair that people claim is a game changer.

This product works great for super curly hair. It has awesome hold and lasts two days if I don't want to wash my hair. You can easily freshen up your look by applying some water. I put a small amount in my hair before bed and refresh it in the morning and it looks great. It is very sticky in your hands but if you play with your hair and add some water after it dries the curls smooth right out.

So now that I know how and when to use this product I love it. However warning don't use after having your hair in a towel for an hour. This product is thick and sticky you want your hair wet not damp when you put it in. Love the texture it give though and the smell is unbeatable.

I have natural waves and live the best the beach. I've looking for something to give my hair that after swim waviness. I've tried expensive salon texturizers, but with still need mousse and hairspray to get the look I want. So I thought I'd give this a try after reading lots of reviews. Well, OMG! This stuff is MAGIC. Gives me TONS of waves, I don't need and any other products... It adds a bit of shine. Got tons of compliments when I went to a conference and it saved me tons of time styling. Holds but it's not hard (unless you use a ton or don't distribution it well). So in love with this stuff! So, if you want texture, versatility & want to save time & money... Get this!

I have ultra thick and wavy, frizzy hair. I use just over a hershey kiss-sized amount of this product and run it through the lower half of my hair after a shower. I love the way it gives my hair that separated, tousled look, however I think it leaves quite a bit of residue on. At the end of the day, I brush my hair and I can feel the residue on it, which makes my hair harder to brush through. I notice the extra dirt left on the bristles of my brush too and it sucks to clean it off. I used several other products that don't do this...the best one of which is now discontinued. I will keep this product around though and will use it up because it does make my hair look the way I want it too. After it's gone I will probably keep searching for a product that works for me, but I would return to using this if my mission isn't successful. I just don't like that I feel like I have to wash it out every time I use it because of the gunky coat it leaves on at the end of the day.

I have very fine, flat hair and this product gave it SO MUCH volume and texture! I used to use the beach babe sea salt spray which is the same thing, but a spray; it took forever to dry and didn't work for me. With this product, it dries down quickly and also works really well if you use a blow dryer. The price is a little higher than I would have liked to pay, but for what it does for my hair I don't mind. Smells really good too.

Are you old enough to remember Roseanne Roseannadanna? (Google it, kids.) That's my hair in the summertime. I walk out of the salon looking gooood and no matter what style I get, or which stylist cuts my hair, or what products I use, I always wind up looking like RR once I actually have to style my hair myself. I bought this stuff with a plan to try encouraging the waves my hair gets in summer humidity. To my surprise it works *extremely* well to straighten and give structure to my thick, fine, unruly hair. I rub a bit of this miracle paste between my palms, smooth it over my my hair (concentrating on the ends) and it completely tames my 'do and - *gasp* - it actually looks like it does when I walk out of the salon! Dumb cowlick right at the peak of my forehead - gone. Frizzies - gone. Triangle head - gone! Amazing. Maybe best of all, I can get these results by air-drying my hair - no hairdryer required. Only downside is that I'm already hyperventilating at the thought that this product might be discontinued at some point.

I purchased this originally at ULTA and I really really liked it. I purchased it again on AMAZON (despite reading other reviews) and was excited to use it. Well I loved the hold & my curls BUT all day long people were commenting on white "dandruff" looking stuff in my hair. I am a recovering dandruff sufferer (lol) so the last thing I want to do is put dandruff looking stuff in my hair. I am so torn with this product bc really it's my favorite in regards to making my curls look fab but who cares if there is dandruff looking stuff floating around in them. Super disappointing
