Bad smell

Love this product so much.
Hair Type Wavy Hair
I actually have very thick long hair that is wavy and curly. This is the lightest product it feels like there's nothing in your hair. I absolutely love it it makes the greatest curls and people always comment on my hair. I will continue to buy this product and recommend it to others.
Awful smell!
I had to wash it out if my hair because it smelled so bad. I threw it out.

The Kristin Ess Air Dry Mousse is my new go to hair product. It is a light area. Moose, it applies easily and quickly to the hair. It enhances my curls and prevents frizz. It keeps my hair shiny for the whole day and it keeps the curls for a few days after initial application.
