Ouai's Wave Spray is seriously good, as are all Ouai products. The founder, Jen Atkin, has a knack for creating a vibe with all her clients' hair that is at once both super cool and laid back. Thankfully, her product line brings that aesthetic to us because, sadly, unless you're a Kardashian, Jenner, or Chrissy Teigen, getting an appointment with Atkin is just not going to happen.
I tried the spray on my naturally wavy hair to see if it could give me the loose, sexy beach hair of my dreams.
