Today we’re talking hair… I love talking about hair!! Before I get into this new fave, let me give you a bit of a background. I have thin, fine, boring, no volume to be seen hair. Hair products never really do what they say they’re going to do for me without a little help from some other product friends.
When I first got my hands on the Thai Coconut scented Beach Waves from The Gnarly Whale, I’ll admit, I didn’t have high hopes because my hair refuses to hold any form of curl without adding a massive amount of product. It’s just how it is, I have used other products aimed at giving you that ‘beach wave’ look before and my hair was left stick straight and kind of crunchy.
I knew going in that I couldn’t just follow the easy directions and ‘spray liberally over wet hair and let dry’ while that will absolutely work for most people who have a natural wave, curl or even straight hair that isn’t anti-curl like mine. I decided to follow those directions ‘sort of’ because I know my hair. Here’s what I did, and this gave me in my opinion the best kind of beach wave I could have imagined!!

Super cute! Thanks for the review! I love the way my hair looks after I take a dip in the ocean here so this would be nice to add to my products. 🙂
Hello my dear!
Interesting product that I never tested!
Thank you for the post.
Have a lovely day!
I’m going to have to try this!! My hair is like yours – it’s won’t hold curl of any kind to save my life…..except for the beachy waves I have the one week of the year that I’m at the beach.
Your curls are too cute… love the bubble necklace too!!!
Omg I need this product!!! My hair is fine, limp, no volume and HATES any kind of texture. I want curls without having to use a curling iron (which I am terrible with). Also, I was just browsing their store and I will be ordering more than one thing – I am falling in love with more natural products. I have a sulfa allergy and 98% of beauty products contain sulfa’s so I am switching to more natural products and need a new body scrub.
Thanks Ange!!!
When my hair gets longer I think I may just need that Strawberry one in my life!
I will have to try this, thanks for the suggestion!

My hair definitely needs this! I usually use Not Your Mothers Sea Salt Spray, but this sounds like it’s worth a try. And you look ADORABLE!
Jersey girl tease! Ha ha! I’m in the same boat with the hair. Heading over to see what they’ve got!
Ohhh…I think you sold me! 😉 I have the same exact type of hair. Stick straight and super fine. I’m using a beach spray product in my hair right now which is better than what I’ve tried in the past and seems to semi-work, but leaves it crunchy feeling. I will be sure to give this a go! Heading over to order some now!!! Thanks for the code! 🙂

I know what you mean! My hair is stick straight and won’t hold any curl to save my life. I am going to have to try this asap!
I need to try this!! I have neither straight nor curly hair so I have to either straighten or curl it to make it look nice. These waves seem like just the solution!
