Most Helpful Positive Review Received mini as a gift, Fell in love! Bottom Line Upfront: I LOVE this stuff... Seriously, I love it so much that I never want to run out of it. Ever.
At first I was just spritzing the dry-oil on my straightened hair to tame fly-aways. My hair is extremely fine, so putting products in my flat-ironed hair can be tricky, especially if it is an oil-based product. My hair will usually just turn flat, get oily, or I will feel it on my hair all day long. Imagine my surprise when an anti-frizz OIL did NOT make my hair oily or flat at all. I couldn't even feel it in my hair afterwards. I needed a very light misting of the product to get the job done and have silky smooth locks all day.
As for my natural hair.... I have always hated using products on my wavy hair because they tend to weigh it down too much, make the strands crunchy/stuck together when it dries, or just dry my hair out altogether (hello, salt sprays!). Well, this stuff changed my life. I started spraying it on my towel dried-hair and letting it finish drying naturally. I had perfect waves and ringlets that felt incredibly soft to run my hand through. I did have to use a little more product on my wet hair, but it is still a relatively small amount for my hair length (middle of my back).
I ended up getting the full-size because it's now my go-to hair product.
Most Helpful Critical Review First Impression...I'm Unimpressed. I'll say the one thing that I'm impressed with is how lightweight this oil is. It didn't add any weight or clump together in my hair after application. Also, I like the smell of Alterna products so there's another thing I like. As for what this did to my hair...I can't even explain it. I'm not sure if this is made for a specific hair type (thin) but I have medium coarse hair and it didn't seem to play well together. When my hair is bone dry I run water over my wet brush, shake it off and then brush my hair out so my hair was not quite dry or wet enough to be considered damp. I spritzed a bit on, brushed my hair out and didn't see much of a difference in taming. After about a half hour I noticed my hair seemed to be almost dreadlocking together and looked crispy, for lack of better words. It didn't feel soft, it didn't look soft...I was just a little confused. I'm almost scared to try it again because quite honestly, my frizz isn't even that bad. I only bought this because I thought it wouldn't hurt and would add a nice shine.

I used it yesterday after my shower when my hair my wet and then let it air dry. Not a single tangle, mind you I don't brush my hair. Literally in love. Smells great, leaves hair smooth af
Best Frizz Control product !! 5
KK from Georgia
I have fine wavy hair that is very prone to frizz. Most products weigh down my hair. But not this one! The product is lightweight, but super effective in fighting frizz. I will purchase this again and again !
Pump does not work! 2
RJ from Michigan
I gave the product 2 stars because the first time I used it, I loved it. However, I haven't been able to get the spray nozzle to work ever since. Very frustrating after paying so much for a product I can't use! I've tried running it under hot water, pulling it up manually, and it still won't spray. So, I have a full bottle that is useless! Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Love it!! 5
Sha from USA
I've been using this for a few years now (5–6?) I used to use the old kendi oil bamboo formula and then switched over to this when they changed it and I've never regretted it! This sprayed on after hair it is almost all the way dry but not fully is amazing!! It makes my thin dry hair shine, adds bounce, gives it life!! I wish it wasn't so expensive because I go through this a lot but it's so worth it! I've tried other hair mists that just make hair look greasy but this doesn't do that!!

When you got rid of the kendi dry oil spray, I almost freaked out until I found this. Same product but different scent. Please don't ever get rid of this! I've been using your dry oil for decades. There is nothing comparable for frizzy fine hair.
Absolutely LOVE this stuff 5
Lori from Irvine, CA
I used Alterna's Kendi Dry Oil and they discontinued it. Sooo...I decided to try their Cavier Anti-Frizz Dry Oil Mist, thinking it might be similiar. Other than being more expensive...I LOVE THIS STUFF and it smells even better than their Kendi Bamboo Dry Oil. I spray 3 or 4 pumps into my hands, rub them together, and run my hands through my hair. Seriously LOVE IT. Smells and looks great! I told a friend about it, she tried it, and now uses it too! I have thick, coarse, blonde hair, with highlights and lowlights. This really brings out the defination in my colors, adds sheen, and I couldn't be happiers. DON'T DISCONTINUE THIS ALTERNA!!!!!
Sold out everywhere?!? 5
Ehnyc from Norwalk, ct
Is this discontinued now? I can't find it anywhere. First the kendi dry oil mist and now this? PLEASE keep this. So many people love and can't live without the dry oil mist.
Frizz fighting at its best! 5
Nong Nong from Frisco
I was looking for a smoothing product that would tame my frizz and not weigh it down because I have mid range fine hair
This took care of everything leaving my hair feeling like silk! And you really can't use too much your hair at least mine did not become greasy despite the dry oil in this spray. New fave for sure!
An absolutely essential product for frizz 5
Ashley the Sardonic from Boise, ID
I use this for so many things: general shine, tame flyaways on straightened days, make pesky white dry shampoo spots disappear from my black hair between wash days, make my curls behave. It's amazing. It's an oil that has ZERO oiliness. Bottle has problems sometimes, yes, but the makers of this fine product specialize in hair products; they don't manufacture pump action spray bottles. My advice if the problem comes up: get a different spray bottle. They cost, like, a dollar. I'm buying this product for the liquid, not the plastic and springs. Saving the product by transferring it to a different vessel is a small price to pay for a gem of a hair product.
Perfect so far! 5
Nong Nong from San Francisco
This was a gamble and it's exceeded my expectations. This spray is a powerhouse of moisture in the form of a light mist. The mist is the only way my hair can handle oil of this caliber of this propensity for smoothing my hair! I have nothing but praise for this!
Comparable to lending dry oil mist? 1

I hade used the Kensington Dry Oil Mist for years. I am so sad they have discontinued it. Please consider bringing it back!
The Best 5
Roni23 from Las Vegas, NV
I hardly write reviews but this was bought on whim and figured why not. Wow! This left my hair so soft and silky and the frizz was gone. I loved how my hair looked and feel. Definitely worth a try.
Thank goodness for ULTA! Do not buy direct. 1
Uschii from West Texas
The product itself works incredibly well IF, BIG IF, you can get it out of the bottle. The spray nozzle is defective and gets stuck EVERY SINGLE TIME I press it, rendering the bottle useless for its intended purpose of SPRAYING the product onto your hair. I called the manufacturer to report the issue and was essentially told, 'oh that's too bad, we can't help you.'
LOVE LOVE LOVE 5
Ash from Frankfort, KY
I received a sample of this product and genuinely loved it so much I bought the full size! I've tried using hair oils in the past and just felt like it's weighed my hair down and made it sooo greasy. I love how this is a spray because I think it helps disperse the product better and feels so lightweight. It was a little pricier than I was hoping, but I think it's worth it!
Beautiful product 5
Cady from CA
I absolutely love this dry oil mist ! It makes my platinum blonde hair shine so much and doesn't ever weigh my hair down. Alterna has some of my favorite styling products. I definitely recommend trying this out.
The sprayer doesn't work! 1
Customer 99 from TX
I received a sample of this product from Ulta about a year ago and loved the product, so I was excited to see the full size bottle on sale recently. The problem is that the spray nozzle on the bottle doesn't work. I get one spray, but the nozzle doesn't pop back up. Sometimes I'm able to pull the nozzle back up, but even then the next spray is about half what it should be. So I can kind of get the product out of the bottle, but it takes forever, and the spray is not distributed evenly on my hair. Very disappointing.
Perfection 5
Anna from Washington
I have a lot of very fine hair. This de-tangles and gives me heat protection without weighing my hair down. I love this product. Got a sample originally and so glad I did. I just bought the full size on a promo. Do yourself a favor and buy this!
Awesome product that does the job! 5
Kristy from Pearl City, HI
Just before I'm ready to leave the house my hair is usually looking dry. I spray a few sprays of this product and it makes my hair look so soft and bouncy. I love it!
Wow! I like this mist! 5
PattyH from NYC
I received a sample size and got around to trying it today. I wanted to refresh my tired looking hair after a day of misty somewhat humid weather. Wow!! A couple spritzers, ran my finger through and it looks like I just styled my hair.
I didn't like the way it left my hair. 1
Customer from Va
It left my hair feeling like straw. I have fine hair but thick and it left my hair feeling weighed down.

Great for style refresh 4
Strawberry Murphy from NYC
I have 2b/2c curls that can fall flat and look frizzy after a couple of days. I spritz a little of this on my hair and smooth it through and my curls are not only revived, the frizz is gone and my hair looks shiny again. My hair is fine and gets weighed down easily buy despite this being an oil, it does not cause a greasy look.
I would buy again and I have. Lol 5
Niki from Atlanta, GA
I am a huge fan of this product. I have Afro relaxed hair and I use it when I am flat ironing. It is non greasy which I love. I even spray it directly onto my the plates of my flat iron. Great for use on damp and dry hair, before bed, and for style refresh. Nice scent.
OMG finally!!! 5
Shai from Houston
OMG I finally found an anti frizz products that works!! I used it on dry hair and it turned my dry frizzy hair to soft healthy looking locks!! It needs to be used every 8 hours but with all minerals and oils in it, it is not drying out at all! Trust me I have dry hair and have tried all names brands as a product junkie. Go buy it!!
