This is a spray which can be applied after shower onto damp hair to detangle and also to preserve moisture. It can also be used the following morning to restore curls and bounce. I found it very effective when used after a shower as it enhanced my waves to curls but it still left me with some frizz. I also tried it on dry hair to restore curls and bounce the next morning but found it was less effective when used that way. Still I quite liked it as a spray on damp hair.
