Our verdict

A light air dry mousse that turns damp hair into soft waves with frizz control and no crunch. Hold is soft, so it will not set a defined curl pattern on its own.

Overview

Not a crunchy gel or a heavy cream, this OUAI foam is massaged into damp hair and scrunched upwards so waves form as it air dries. Protein extracts condition and help detangle while the finish stays soft.

Skipping the blow dryer is the whole point, and the foam turns a towel-dried head into soft waves with less frizz. The light hold means tight curls or humid days may need a stronger product.

Who it's for

Wavy hair that frizzes when left to dry alone gets shape and smoothness from it. Those after a crisp, defined ringlet with lasting hold need a gel.

Pros and cons

  • Detangles and adds shine
  • Paraben and sulfate free

  • Scent may not suit everyone
  • Ingredient list not given

Performance notes

Foam spreads a thin, even film through damp hair, and scrunching upwards sets the wave shape while the hair dries in place. How much wave forms depends on the hair's natural pattern, since the foam enhances rather than creates curl. Touching hair while it dries breaks up the shape and invites frizz.
