Comments about Alterna Bamboo Style Boho Waves Tousled Texture Mist:
After pretty much giving up on beach & wave sprays and coming to terms with the fact that my flat, thin & for the most part straight & lifeless hair would never easily transform into beautiful beach waves, my sister gifted me Boho Waves...WOW!
This product has become a staple and essential in my beauty routine. It is, hands down, AMAZING! Similar products I've tried either left my hair flat, stringy & greasy with no waves or texture at all or have given me crunchy & stiff "semi-waves" that looked ridiculous and a mess. This product on the other hand, does just the opposite and has been absolutely wonderful. It's so easy use & delivers results super quickly.
My favorite way to use it is to spray it on damp hair, from roots to tips and then start scrunching all over my head. After I scrunch, I take smaller pieces in between my thumb and middle or pointer finger & begin to separate & sort of "rub" the pieces of hair between my fingers, also kind of pushing up my hair by the roots. This brings out the volume SO MUCH. After that, I go back over and scrunch again to create more texture & tighter waves. Then I let it air dry.
Once it's totally dry, I fix whatever parts need to be styled and go back over my dry hair with a few sprays of the product, do some more scrunching & separation & "WA LA"!
Honestly, the results are so beautiful and true to what the product says it will do. The waves and volume hold all day and can even be re-amped later in the day by re-spraying a small amount of product and scrunching.
Hands down, best hair product EVER.

Comments about Alterna Bamboo Style Boho Waves Tousled Texture Mist:
I am trying to convert all my hair and skin care products to those made with natural ingredients, no chemicals like SLS and methyl parabens. This product is almost comparable to Tresemme gel for waves. I spritz it on my wet hair and then let it dry naturally. This has brought out the waves and curls in my hair. Definitely a great product without all the toxins.

Comments about Alterna Bamboo Style Boho Waves Tousled Texture Mist:
I love this product! Even with my obnoxiously straight and ridiculously thick hair... it keeps the waves throughout the day! It's not an extremely smelly or sticky product either, so it's a double whammy for a fast look when I wake up late for work! Also, I spray on damp hair before I go to bed, and wake up with waves that come naturally from my moving around in my sleep... SCORE!

Comments about Alterna Bamboo Style Boho Waves Tousled Texture Mist:
I towel dry my hair and spritz this in. The best thing since my hair is colored, and sometimes dry. I've hit time in my life where my hair is delicate and can't handle the hairdryer brush/pulling for coiffed styles. This is great for my wavy hair and I can look tousled but still professional with my other hair clips, bands and pins for tousled chignons etc. Be prepared for more of a gelled look if your hair is very wet at time of application. Towel dry hair for a less 'hard' look later as your hair air-dries. Applying for already dry hair is great for keeping frizzs down and giving wavy hair shape without looking overdone, and you don't look blown away. I have done the reapply later in the day since I live in Florida, summer is extra humid, and my hair gets frizzy and flyaway during that time. I've used this for a year. For those with extra tight curly hair it would be great alternative to hairspray, as you can scrunch it where you need it the most for control.

Comments about Alterna Bamboo Style Boho Waves Tousled Texture Mist:
Love the way my waves turn out with this product. Nice, light scent; simple application. Much easier because it works on dry hair, so anytime I want waves I just spray, twist, and go. For added dimension and hold, I sometimes pin thick locks that I've twisted/finger-curled for a few minutes (no more than the time it takes to finish getting ready to go out), then remove the pins, and the resulting look is tousled, casual waves that last.

Comments about Alterna Bamboo Style Boho Waves Tousled Texture Mist:
I have thick wavy hair but my waves tend to go all different directions and messy, not sexy "beach" waves. On the hunt for the perfect beachy inducer I found this and based on reviews it sounded perfect. Reviews said it was light and basically hassle-free.
I guess my bottle's been tampered with then. It feels like hairspray in my hair and makes it dirty. It doesn't actually wave at all, just lags. I've tried using it on dry hair and on re-wet hair (I've always only tried on 2nd day hair b/c it's so heavy I can't stand the thought of it in fresh, clean hair). The result's the same - blah, dirty looking hair without any wave.
I've had better results with drugstore brand mousse!
