This summer, I'm embracing my wavy hair journey—my friends and I can’t get enough of this one product.

      Discovering a beauty product that's impressive enough to share with your friends is already a victory. However, when you come across one that becomes essential for both you and your friends, that's a true find. As a beauty editor who regularly receives numerous PR packages, it's uncommon for such a gem to arrive. So, when I packed for a weekend trip to the Hamptons a few weeks ago, I didn't think twice about tossing Rōz's new Wave Texturizing Mist into my bag. With the forecast of rain and my intention to try it to help manage my waves, I mindlessly zipped the unopened bottle into my suitcase. I had no idea that this salty elixir was about to become a summer favorite for me and my friends with wavy hair.

      RŌZ Wave Texturizing & Finishing Mist, created by renowned celebrity hairstylist Mara Roszak, is a favorite among many Who What Wear editors. We've praised everything from the brand's scalp scrub that achieves results comparable to shampoo commercials to the hair mask used by Emma Stone. Thus, I shouldn't have been surprised that the newest addition to the brand's award-winning collection was just as remarkable. There I was, scrunching this wave-enhancing mist into my hair and watching my texture regain life with impressive volume.

      This summer, I've been exploring my wavy hair, trying various products to achieve smoother, more defined waves. Rōz's Wave Mist provides the effortless, beachy look my natural hair has been missing while still offering a piecey texture. According to the brand, the matte spray delivers tangle-free grip with a mix of red microalgae for touchable, flexible waves and mineral-rich sea salt for gentle texture and definition. It's simple to use: shake the can, spray it onto dry hair (I suggest applying it on second-day waves to revive your texture), and scrunch. My friend, a former shopping editor who's tested countless beauty products, was amazed by the results and reached for it daily during our trip. For added volume and texture, I recommend lightly dusting your roots with Oribe's Dry Texturizing Spray for a sensual, effortless look. If you're looking to restore shine after using the Wave Mist, try adding a small amount of Rōz's Santa Lucia Styling Hair Oil to your ends for extra hydration.

      I've employed this spray in various ways throughout the summer: enhancing my natural waves, creating piecey definition after heat styling, and providing tousled grip to loose updos. The possibilities are endless, but if you're still on the hunt for the ideal sea salt spray, here are some fantastic alternatives.
