To top it off, its fruity and floral notes make it smell divine.

Add more texture to your hair

If you want a little ‘messy hair, don’t care’ vibe (without looking like a mess), we recommend throwing in a texturising hairspray into your routine. Simply spritz a little bit of the product on a toothbrush and gently brush the hair from back to front for some texture that isn’t stiff or all over the place.
