Nature's Brands Herbal Choice Mari Organic Hair Spray; 8oz

This actually works. Not like the shellac we get from hair spray with a propellant but since that kinds tends to send my husband into a coughing fit, I had to find an alternative that doesn't but also offers some hold and passes my scent test as I am quite particular about the smells.

I was looking for an alternative to salt spray to use on my locs where I get some frizz and to help them form better and this is working great. The salt spray is just so harsh so I decided to try a sugar based alternative. A few things to consider- the spray isn't sticky but if you were to run your hand over the sprayed area you will feel a texture similar to salt spray so I don't knwo how thsi woudl effect fine hair. The spray does wear off at the end of the day so it is easy to wash out. The smell is a big miss for me- I belive it is the geranium oil that is prevalent. Its not terrible and it doesn't smell chemically but I was hoping for a more mildy herbal scent where its much more floral- the smell does dissapate fast after application. I added some other essential oils to brign the geranium scent down.

I love that this hair spray is USDA Certified Organic. I specifically seek out organic products. The pump spray works well and gives off a fine mist when sprayed. There is no need to worry about having spray concentrated on only one part of your head. Also, with having a fine mist expelled per spray I think this 8 oz. bottle will last a while. It does not leave a white or sticky residue like some regular hair spray does. It also does not give you that stiff feeling as well that regular hair spray leaves. It has a very citrus-y smell which does not last for very long if you are concerned that you will be smelling like a box of orange juice. It’s a little pricey for hair spray at $13.95 a pop but it’s worth it in my opinion if organic is what you’re looking for. All in all it’s a pretty decent hair spray for being organic and I will most likely re-purchase when this bottle is finished.

I have ordered this 2 times now! I am pregnant, so I wanted something organic and safe to use. I wear my hair up in a pony tail every day and I get hairs that don’t want to stay back since my hair is fine. This stuff has enough hold but my hair still stays flexible. I’m not sure why there are reviews saying it leaves their hair crunchy. I haven’t felt that with my hair at all. It works great for me!

Nice product, for everyday use. Hold does not last a long time, but is definitely not a noxious, chemical smelling product which drives the purchase. It arrives in an incomplete package every time. All photos/images show pump sprayer with a protective, transparent plastic cap. I'm forced to use without protective cap... irritating. Continuing to purchase because of good enough hair spray performance for casual use and non-chemical smell and natural enough formulation? Amazon keeps delivering incomplete product without protective cap.
