Hair Spray Organic by Herbal Choice Mari (2 Fl Oz Bottle) - No Toxic Synthetic Chemicals

Okay so my hair is very 'unruly' naturally curly and slightly dry also very hard to get a brush through. I'm super particular about my products but will definelty take the time out to write a 5 star review when warranted, and I LOVE THIS HAIRSPRAY! I've been diagnosed with {Multiple Chemical Sensitivity} MCS and very concerned with anything contain harsh & harmful chemicals. So needless to say, my entire home is full of non-toxic products the best to my ability and happy to add my new hair spray & hair gel to list. When I first sprayed, I noticed a light mist and pleasant smell. The smell is like a lemongrass, citrus, grape fruit. Its not harmful whatsoever because my symptoms would tell me so. This product is also listed on the Enviromental Working Group App {EWG} as a '2' for zero allergy/cancer related concerns. The scale of numbers range from {1-10} 1 being the least harmful to 10 being the most harmful. After showering, I apply the Herbal Choice Mari hair gel to my wet head, let air dry then add the Organic hair spray as my finishing product when styling my hair. The hold is light, not stiff, nor sticky and not firm. Just natural enough to keep it styled but not enough to hold it from the highest desert winds {as I live in NV} However, being that its toxic free, has a great scent, cruelty free, does the job, and cost effective--this product is the right choice for me. And as I said, I'm very picky when it comes to what products I use on my hair or body in general. Both in ingredients and how they work overall. Give this hair spray a chance! I do understand that everyone's needs are different in hair texture and in choice but I can honestly say, I am impressed for it being a natural organic product, and I will be purchasing it again. Thank You Mari for caring about the planet, what goes into your product, and the people who NEED IT due to chemical sensitivities.

Who doesn’t like vodka or sugar?! LOL Seriously tho, this product works! Now, I’m not extremely active or “sporty”, but I work in a very busy office and I’m always moving around and it holds my hair all day. Im actually growing it out and I have to spray the shorter strands when I wear it back and I spray it once and it lasts all day. It creates a nice shine, too.The scent is not strong and the sprayer doesn’t gunk up like you would think from a product using sugar. When I wear a clip, sometimes when I spray my hair it gets on the clip and is a little sticky, but I just throw it in the dishwasher and it’s good as new.I’m sold and will definitely purchase again!

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 was so looking forward to trying this product because of its less toxic ingredients. So disappointed!The scent is fine. The drying power is okay. The huge problem for me is that it dries to a hard, crispy type texture that is impossible to comb after using it. It's unmanageable. My hair is shoulder length, natural curly, and on the thin side. I was very careful to use this spry very sparingly on my hair, needing it just to help tame the humidify frizz and give it some support. After I would use this product, the only way I could get a comb or brush through it was to wet or wash my hair. I even tried spraying the product lightly on my hand and then gently applying it through my hair. It didn't make a difference. After several unsatisfying attemps to use this product I felt that I had to write this review.

Ordering my second bottle. I use this on my children and myself for up-dos. I like that I'm not putting chemicals on my kids. My 1 year old has crazy straight hair that sticks up at top because of 3 cowlicks. A little of this and her hair is tame all day. Washes out easy with just water and no buildup. It seems to be moisturizing. My 6 year old likes to use it too. His hair is long so it makes it a little oily, but that fades throughout the day in his thick hair.It has a pleasant "natural" scent. Kinda a masculine musky scent. Not really feminine or floral. It fades though.I don't recommend for when you wear your hair down, especially if your hair is fine and thin. Its best for taming fly-aways and frizz in up-dos.Make sure you shake the bottle before every use!

I think this is actually a very good flex hold hairspray. Unfortunately, it ended up being a disappointment for me. It ticked off almost all the boxes that are tough for a non-aerosol, healthier type of hair spray: It has a fine mist (does not come out wet / clumpy), it did not leave my hair crunchy yet gave it the structure & light hold that I wanted. The deal breaker for me is the smell. I tried to figure out before buying what it would be like but all I could gather was that it had a citrus smell. And I guess technically you could call it that. To me this smells like lemon furniture polish. Guess I was hoping more for an orange or even a natural lemon-y scent. I had to leave my bathroom after using only a small amount because the scent made me feel sick. Needless to say, I won't be able to use this due to the way I react to the smell. Scent is like that though - what one person finds pleasant, someone else can't stand. I'll have to keep looking.
