As many of you with naturally curly hair will know, frizz can be an absolute nightmare, especially in the winter when it is cold and damp. I was drawn to the Frizz-Ease section in Boots one wintry afternoon, and found I was spoilt for choice on products that could control my frizz! I eventually went for this Curl Perfecter spray, which promised to 'Wake up sleepy spirals for captivating curls'. The containing bottle seemed quite large and stylish, and so I thought that this would compensate for the money I was paying for it (£4.79 in Boots).

The product has a fairly mild, lightly-perfumed smell, which I liked because often hair products have a strong chemical smell. I used the product as directed, spraying the product 'liberally on roots to ends, distributing evenly' after I had washed and towel-dried my hair. After I had done this, however, I found I had used up quite a lot of the 200ml bottle already!

The mistake I made is that I didn't realise how much of this product I would use on a daily basis. The bottle itself is also misleading; the lid makes up about a third of the size of the whole product, and when you take it off it is clear that the bottle is actually fairly small.

I was fairly pleased with how the product worked in that it definitely calmed the frizz that was so frustrating me. However, I found it still looked fairly limp, and I know that if I had used mousse I would have got much more volume, and perhaps only a little more frizz. If you use a lot of the product then it gives you a hold which will last about 4-6 hours, but this then means that you run out of it quickly.

The directions also state that for the best results you should use Frizz-Ease Curl Around Shampoo & Conditioner, and Frizz-Ease Hair Serum. I did not do this as I was perfectly happy with my shampoo and conditioner, but perhaps the product would have worked better for me if I did. On the other hand, it could have just been a marketing ploy.

Overall, I quite liked the product but there is nowhere near enough of it to justify value for money. Yes, it made my curls seem smoother and silkier, but they also tended to just lie there looking limp. I now use a very good brand of mousse instead, and this works a lot better for me, and I think it makes much more economical sense!
