Our verdict

A light texture mist for beachy waves that skips the drying salt of sea salt sprays. The travel size runs out quickly for daily use on long hair.

Overview

OUAI Wave Spray adds texture, body and shine for a loose, beachy look without salt. Rice protein and coconut oil replace sea salt, so the mist works on damp or dry hair, even when color or keratin treated.

Salt-free texture is the reason to choose this mist, since rice protein gives grip without the dry feel. The small travel bottle suits a bag but not heavy daily use.

Who it's for

Undone waves for a weekend or a trip are the use here, and fine or thick hair can both take it. People wanting a firm curl set should reach for a stronger styler.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Texture sprays work by coating strands so they grip each other and clump into waves. Rice protein supplies that grip without salt, which is what normally pulls moisture from the hair shaft.
