Question Any other products like this?

I am looking for a curl refresher, as the one that I'm using is way to expensive. (But you're welcome to try it!)

It's called Frizz Ease Secret Weapon from the John Frieda collection.
Okay, I admit, it's not a refresher, but I use it as one.I also use this for touch-ups when the humidity, wind, or rain try to ruin my day. And the best part is, you don't need to use water to use it for your hair!

I admit that I absolutely love this, but I want a change. (That, and I'm used to more cheap products.) I was wondering if there was anything else like this(something without water) that costs less. The cost isn't something I'm desperate for, it's just that I was looking for some other stuff like this one.

I'll still continue to use this however, but I was also looking for more products like this. So, can anyone help me here?

The only other product I've heard of that refreshes curls and can be applied to dry hair is Tweek. I haven't tried it because it's expensive, though.

Honestly, it might be hard to find a less expensive version of that stuff. At $6.50 a bottle, it's definitely one of the cheaper products.

One of the main ingredients is avocado oil. Maybe you could just grab a bottle of avocado oil at the grocery store and try using that on your hair?

Hmm...I could try that idea, but usually when I use oil on dry hair, it turns out crunchy, instead of moisturized. Plus if I used avocado oil, should I just dampen my hair first? Since I'm a type 2b/2c wavy, I don't think I'll need to wet it all the way, will I?

I'll try and see if I can find it, but do you know how much it costs?

you can mix conditioner and water in a spray bottle, about 50/50.
