Finding the right combination of hold, texture, scent, and anti-frizz magic is a challenge for those with wavy hair. How do you find products that don’t just weigh down your waves?
If you don’t already live by the beach, there are other ways to create that natural windswept look.
We’ve collected our top 9 refresher mists for wavy hair. Whether you’re trying to prolong your waves between washes or need a post-workout refresh, try one of these sprays:
1. Jessicurl Awe Inspiraling Spray
If it’s a second-day spray you’re after, Jessicurl Awe Inspiraling Spray is available in Island Fantasy, Citrus Lavender, and “No Fragrance” varieties. Spray directly onto hair or spray into your hands and scrunch to revitalize your waves.
2. PATTERN by Tracee Ellis Ross Mist Spray Bottle
Many Type 2 Wavies refresh their waves with water alone – but the bottle can make a difference. This continuous mist spray bottle creates a fine mist to lightly refresh your waves between washes. Another option is to refresh with water in the form of steam, either from the shower or a hair or facial steamer.

This unique product is the only dry shampoo on our list. With a great scent and special lightweight formula, Alex Anthony Curl System Morning After Dry Shampoo is a great option for post-workout or post-wash day restyling.

Curl Keeper’s Beach Mist is focused on delivering moisture to your limp locks. Brewed from Pink Himalayan Crystal Salts, this product is like “a blast of ocean air” to your hair.
5. Briogeo Rosarco Milk Reparative Leave-In Conditioning Spray
This antioxidant-rich, multipurpose leave-in conditioning spray helps protect against heat damage while combating frizz and promoting softness and manageability.
6. Briogeo Blossom & Bloom Ginseng + Biotin Volumizing Spray
This spray adds volume to wavy hair with clarifying agents that absorb oil to prolong time between wash days. With immediate results and long-term thickness benefits, this product will give your waves a revamp while delivering key nutrients to your hair.
7. Verb Sea Spray
Verb Sea Spray will give you volumized, windswept waves while maintaining a light and dry texture all over. In addition, this product is paraben, sulfate, and gluten free.
8. Raw Curls Anti-Frizz Spray
