Herbal Essences always has great products for a gal on a budget. I haven't tried a product yet that I haven't liked. My latest obsession? Tousle Me Softly Tousling Spray Gel. First of all, it smells amazing. Kind of a violet-ish smell, but mostly it just smells fresh. The consistency of the product is great too. Just to give you an idea of my hair, it usually frizzes out a ton. In the summer, I tend to just leave it curly most of the time, as flat ironing it would be pointless due to frizziness. Without any product, I usually describe my hair as wavy-frizz-grossness. So it's a big deal when something works.
I followed my usual shower routine and followed it up by smoothing in some of my anti-frizz serum (I use a ton of it; BioSilk works best). I brushed out all my tangles--and believe me, there are always lots of them. Finally, I proceeded onto the spray gel.
I sprayed a thin layer all over my head, then went back through spraying more on the ends and scrunching as I went along. The result was great: non-frizzy waves with just enough hold and very little crunchiness that is oh so unappealing. I'd almost say it resembles "after-sex-hair" (sorry if that's offensive) because it causes hair to look a bit messy in a good way.
You can buy the gel at Target for $2.99.
