Most Helpful Positive Review Really Good Product! People fail to realize that the key to applying hair products to avoid crunchiness is to wait a few minutes after you wash/get out of the shower. Prep your skin, start applying your makeup, whatever. But just let your hair dry naturally, untouched, for a little while. Then, just when you think it's beginning to dry too much, bend over, shake your head a little to loosen your hair up and then scrunch the product in. But don't add a handful of product - not even the recommended amount. Use it sparingly at first and work your way up to the amount that suits your hair best. Diffuse until just before it's completely dry and let it dry naturally the rest of the time. By the time you're finished with makeup and putting on clothes you'll be able to shake it out a little more and work with it.
I've tried so many gels and creams on my thin, wavy/curly hair and spent so much money not finding anything that compares to my favorite gel that was discontinued. UNTIL NOW!
My first thought was that this is a cream and (just like the others) it will only make my hair limp, too soft and I'll probably have to use half a can of hairspray to get my hair to have any body. Well, I was pleasantly surprised. Beach Bomb smells great (not overwhelming) and works like a charm.
Most Helpful Critical Review My favorite, but.... This is my favorite product for scrunching my hair and blow drying with a diffuser. My hair is naturally wavy but with this product I get soft curls that stay. We all know it's hard to find a curl product that isn't sticky and rock hard. The only issue I have is with the dispenser. It's really bad and almost never works. I use this product all the time but I transfer it to a travel bottle that I can squeeze.
Reviewed by 101 customers Just like catwalk - heavy cream 3
Le73 from Illinois
Not a huge fan of this product. I was looking for something that provided shine and enhance natural wave without having to blow dry/diffuse. This cream is heavy(like catwalk) and it makes my hair feel grimy. The next time I buy, I will try Re-coil.
This stuff is awesome! 5
wendyk from NJ
Got a new cut and go with natural waves instead of blowdrying all the time. Read some reviews and followed the advice of scrunching the product through damp but not wet hair. it's awesome! I get beachy waves with no frizz and tons of volume. Even hit it with a diffuser for a few minutes if I'm in a hurry and I get exactly what the name says - Beach Bomb tousled texture!
Love It!! 5

Right after hair wash
I've tried them all 5
MamaJulie from Morgantown, WV
I have tried pretty much everything on the market. My hair is wavy and fine, although I have a lot of it. I hate products that feel sticky or make my hair crunchy like it did in the 80s. I have been using Beach Bomb followed by a few spritzes of AG's Sea Salt spray for the past four years or so; I've tried a few other products in between but always come back to this combination. My only negative comment isn't about the product itself, but about packaging on too many products--give me way to know when it's almost empty. A see through bit near the bottom or down the side of the container? SOMETHING.
Finally! 5

I have fine, wavy hair, but a lot of it, and I swear it's getting frizzier as I get older. Other products I have tried in the past have either weighed my hair down, or have done nothing to help manage my hair. This product has been great with not only helping define my waves in my hair, but keeping them in tact and less frizzy all day, especially in humidity. The only thing is if you use too much, it can make your hair "crunchy," so it takes a little bit of experimenting to get it just right. But even if that happens, in my experience you can still "massage" it out so it's softer. I just bought an extra bottle of this during Ulta's black Friday sale because I anticipate continuing to use this product.
Love! 5
Nicole from New Jersey
I love this product! I have very thick hair that just barely has a wave to it. Normally, I can only get waves with a curling iron and a ton of hair spray but with this I let my hair air dry for a little then comb through with my fingers, add a tiny bit more to my hands and scrunch. My hair air dries to perfect shiny waves without any extra work, crunch or stickiness! Once it's dry I give it a quick spray with AG Bloom Flexible hair spray and the waves last at least 2 days.
Did not work for me 1

Product did not help my curls, just have me flat hair
Better than I thought it would be! 5
ShoeGal84 from Nashville TN
I initially bought this because I thought maybe it could help my straight, fine shoulder length hair, be more wavy if I scrunched this stuff in damp hair. My hair was not wavy. BUT it had so much volume and texture! And not the kind of texture that leaves your hair feeling dirty or crunchy either. My hair is normally on the limp side and I have to work hard to get good volume that stays. I've used this stuff for a couple weeks now and I just ordered a second one because I don't ever want to be without it! When I use this combined with their texture spray, after using my curling wand to put a bunch of waves in my hair it stays for two or three days! Even through the extreme humidity we've had lately which never happens for me!
Game changer 5
Kaity P from NY
I have been using Deva products for about 8 years. Recently they just weren't working any more. My curls weren't full, they felt weighed down. I decided to try AG Curl products and they have completely revamped my curls! They are full, not stiff (at all) and my hair feels healthy and amazing.
Great product! 5
Angel from CA
A little goes a long way. Gave my hair wavy beach curls without being sticky or crunchy. I'm always looking for that special product to contain my wavy thick hair I don't use gels or moose because I like my hair feeling natural and not full of chemicals. This one delivers.
Love this but torn between it and Recoil 4
Kay from NJ
I love this! I usually use recoil, which I also lovee! but thought id give this a shot hoping it would give me looser curls. The curls are a bit looser. Its also a softer hold which I like. I feel like I have to try this a few times then recoil again a few times and compare. Recoil does give more shine but my hair still looks great with beach bomb.
My hair dry and is a mixture of loose curls and very coily curls. I usually use fastfood and either this or recoil. I apply it while my hair is very wet then i towel dry with a microfiber towel then I allow it airdry then scrunch out any crunch and its been working so far.
Im looking at my hair again and still not sure which I like better. I'll probably switch back and forth between the two.
Great product 5

Accidental Find, Purposefully keeping in stock 5
Hippie Chic Mom from Knoxville
I found this product while looking for another and decided to girl it a try. I LOVE it! I shower, comb, scrunch in Beach Bomb and let my hair air dry. It turns into beautiful beachy (NOT crunchy) waves with out any further work, which is especially important to this busy mom of 4.I have gotten more compliments on my hair after using this product than after slaving with an hour of curling iron prep. I highly recommend it!
I LOVE THIS STUFF 5
Carolyn from Nashville
I have pretty fine hair, and I have never found a product like this one to give me perfect beachy volume. This takes minimal hair care to a new level. 10/10 will buy again!!
This Product is the Bomb! 5
Simply Sally from Nampa, Idaho
A great styling product for wavy or curly hair. This lightweight product will leave perfect loose curls that are neither crunchy or waxy. Can't say enough good things about this product.
Gives non crunchy beach waves 5

This product performed as promised.
Nice but. . . 4
Little Nana from MI, SC
I use Recoil but decided to try this. I have curly hair and thought maybe this would relax them a bit but it did not. Curls were great but no shine. Might give it another try but for now will stick to Recoil.
not for me. 3

This pulled the wave and curl out of my hair completely. Then it was left crunchy and sticky. It is in the garbage now.
Looooots of volume!! 5
Astrogirl77 from SW FL
If you prefer to have a voluminous head more than super defined curls, this is for you.
I simply adore the volume you get with this almost effortlessly!
I have very fine, wavy to curly, processed hair. Lacks body and volume, very frizz prone.
AG beach bomb is great with volume, decent in curl definition and frizz protection. But that is anyway the look I prefer, as I am not fond at all of the super defined noodle curly hair with no movement.
I really like it!

Try blow drying with this 4
RunnerAnna from Lubbock, TX
I tried this and air-dried my hair first, and I was a little disapointed it. It seemed to weigh down my hair and not add much curl or texture. Then I tried it and blow-dried my hair... wow! Tons of volume, texture, and curl. A little too much. I used a salt spray afterwards to weigh down and seperate my massive curls. I think I'll try blow drying it half way next time, then letting it air dry for the rest of the time. If you've never been able to achieve curl without a curling iron before, this is the stuff to try.
I have been using this for 4 or 5 years and love it. 5
Daze bug from Green Bay WI
I have natural wave in the back of my hair that I fought for a long time. A stylist suggested instead of fighting it that I try to enhance it. This products helps me do that and I get many compliments because of it.
Helps hold that beach look all day. 5
Dj from Ashland Nebraska
Applied to hair damp after shower. Allowed to air dry almost completely than quick heat shot to set.
