I think I’ve established now that I’m very into hair. (Hair, not heads. Let’s be clear.) I’m a beauty school expert. Only I quit months before graduation. I wanted to be a mom instead…Aw, the innocent dreams of the young.
So far, in my hair reviews, I haven’t steered any of you wrong…right?
I’m always on the lookout for new products that not just smell amazing but work as well. One of the things I’ve been looking for lately is a really good gel or mousse to help with my ever confused hair.
My hair doesn’t want to be straight and it doesn’t want to be curly. And it’s the kind of middle of the road hair that doesn’t look good when air dried. I either have to flat iron it for a silky smooth look or scrunch the heck out of it to create some wave. The problem is I haven’t been able to find anything that helps form super cute wave AND keeps it that way for the entire day.
So when Mom Fuse sent me J Life Surf Girl Sea Salt Spray ($16), I was a skeptic from the beginning. In fact, I even told them that I most likely wasn’t going to be a fan, and they told me it was okay, to just be honest…
So, this morning after washing my hair, I brushed it out and parted it down the middle. Then I got out the spray and started going to town. Once I felt I had thoroughly drenched my hair in it, I flipped my hair upside down and started scrunching. Once that was done, I decided to take a bunch of small pieces and twist them as the directions suggested. Then I went to put on my makeup and get dressed, while I allowed my hair to dry.
Here’s what it looked like about 20 minutes after applying the product:
I went to church, and I actually got a few compliments on my hair! But, the real test was seeing if it made it through the day, the entire day! About 10 hours later, I took another picture. And honestly, I liked my hair even more the longer I had the product in! The waves stayed soft and touchable, and the nice thing is tomorrow I can just spritz some more in, and go along with my day.
I think I may have found the match made in heaven for my confused hair. I guess it pays to move out of the norm and try something different every once in awhile.
Okay, so now you want it right? If so, you can find it at salons or online here. They have so many products to choose from, that I’m sure if this isn’t the one for you, you will have no problem finding the one that is.
Happy Hair Days to You!

You look adorable, as usual. Love the soft waves!
hair always defied me. it didn’t help my hair is stick straight and has a mind of its own. you look great in the photos! 🙂
it didn’t make your hair crunchy?
i think you look gorgeous. i may need you to be my hair counselor. i am having such issues and don’t know what to do. isn’t it sad that hair can have such a big effect on my mood?
Love the hair! You are so pretty! Okay, now I have to go and find some of that magic in a bottle, and buy it by the box load. I have the same issues with my hair..it doesn’t know if it wants to by curly or strait. I wish it would just come out of the closet by now, that way I can learn to manage it!
Have a great day hun!
Sweet! I’ve got really straight, unlively hair. That might just be a lovely pick-me-up. I’m still excited to try that shampoo you recommeded to us. Gotta wait until I needs shampoo though…
wow…my hair is naturally curly so i don’t know if i can use this one but i will definitely have to tell my friends about it.
Oh yeeeaaahhh.
Hair. Hot WHITE HOT.
Whatever the chemicals, you are rockin it.
😉
PS – clickety click.
FANTASTIC! i can’t wait to try it – EXACTLY what the doctor ordered. i couldn’t have a more parallel hair experience with you if i tried 🙂
thanx for being you, summer. you make a big positive difference in blogland 🙂
Oh, you’ve just described my hair. I will have to check that product out!
Think it would work for chin length hair – or would I end up with a “poodle ‘do”?
I live in southern california and I think that surfer girl hair rocks! 🙂
I should get that product for my 13 year old as she has the same wavy hair.
To answer your question on my blog……yes, that is the boarder fence. 🙂
It seemed like you were describing my hair! That stuff looks great- love the wave! Did it keep frizz away? I always have a problem with that when I do my hair curly/wavey like that, especially here in FL.
I have the same kind of hair!! I have just given up and put it in a bun now that I have babies and no time to do anything fancy.
This stuff sounds good and your picture looks great
Things I Love: your hair like that!
But being of the curly haired persuasion, I am always for anything that brings out a gal’s natural wave.
First I really enjoy your blog which is why I am now following it. Secondly I am a hairdresser and have the same problems with my hair not straight but no curly so I am excited to find this product and give it a try.
You’re too cute!
Alternatively, just spend more time in the ocean 😉
