This product lives up to the hype! I'm going to break this review up in to three sections:
1. My hair type/hair products I typically use
2. The climate that I live in
3. My experience with the product
Hair type:
I have hair slightly past my shoulders that is professionally color treated monthly (root touch ups) to cover grays. I style it on a nearly daily basis with at least a blow dryer, and several times a week, a curling wand. My hair has a slight wave to it naturally, and it is thick. My hair dresser says I have "good hair" I think mainly because there is plenty of it and it does what I want it to most days. It holds curl well, but if I blow it straight, it's straight. My experience with styling is that if I blow dry it immediately after getting out of the shower, it frizzes. The best compromise I've found is to towel dry out of the shower, let it air dry while I do my makeup, eat breakfast, make my bed, etc. and then blow it dry the rest of the way and style it. If I let it completely air dry, it's fluffy and frizzy. I use a mixture of drug store and salon quality products and on a normal day just use shampoo, conditioner, and hair spray if I curl it.
Climate:
I live in California and I'm not near the beach, so I live in a very dry climate. The only time humidity is high here is on the occasional rainy or stormy day.
My experience:
I used the product today for the first time. It's worth mentioning that I'm about a week away from my next hair appointment, and at this point in the month, my hair isn't usually looking or feeling it's best. (Not as smooth and shiny, just doesn't look or feel as healthy as it does the first week and a half or so after an appointment.)
I followed the instructions on the bottle, so after a shampoo and conditioning in the shower, I towel dryed it. I then split my hair into about 6 large sections (2 on each side and 2 in the back) and sprayed each section 3 times (root, middle, ends.) I didn't brush my hair out at all until I'd applied the product. I then immediately blew it dry (this was different from my normal routine since as I mentioned above I typically would have let it air dry a bit,) and then used a paddle brush to blow it dry. I then let it rest a bit while I applied my makeup before going on to style it with my curling wand.
WOW. Silky, shiny, soooo healthy feeling! No residue to the touch… my hair felt lightweight and as if I'd just left the salon! It styled normally and held the style normally, but with less frizz and restored shine.
The bottle says one "coat" should last 3-4 washes, so I'm excited to see how it affects my hair over the course of the next week and to see if it holds up. Even if it doesn't last as long as the bottle says, I think it's worth it to at least use it for special occasions or when I really want my hair to look extra nice. Highly recommend!
Underwhelming I am growing out a Brazilian Blowout and my roots are a 4a curl pattern. I have been blowdrying my hair and flatironing the roots in order to harmonize the two textures. Because the roots are the most likely to get wet from perspiration and kink back up, I thought the Color Wow spray would be a great solution. The first time I tried the Color Wow I applied liberally (as per the instructions) but only to the roots. The entire length of my hair was super greasy and stringy after I blowdried. The next time I tried it I used less and it was ineffective to the point that I ended up putting a bit of castor oil on the roots and flat ironing a second time.

It makes my hair so smooth and soft. I have thin hair but a lot of it and it gets frizzy. For those that get limpy hair with this remember you to use a detox shampoo once a month to every two weeks to make sure you hair is free from all the build up that can stop this product from being fully effective ;)
Didn't work. Followed directions. 1

Not worth the hype. I've tried it a few times, but it does not work. Will not be buying again. I asked the girl at store if she used it—she said no, but said they sell a lot of it. Thanks to a TikTok video, it became popular but it doesn't do what it claims. Followed precise directions. Ulta only had the small bottles, which in the end now, saved me.
