The “glue”like consistency may look thick but it’s actually nourishing and softens coarse brows while taming fly-aways. And the tiny spoolly makes it easy to brush through no matter how thick or thin your brows are. We suggest applying the gel first, then smoothing out brows with your fingers or a clean brush. Once dry, go in with your favorite pencil to fill in any sparse areas and voila, a clean, full brow that has all-day lasting ability.

Notes of coconut, amber, and vanilla will give your hair a fresh smell, perfect for complementing that second day blowout you don’t want to ruin.

The satin also ensures that the scrunchie will not cause any denting or breakage of your hair. If you're someone who loves to apply a leave-in mask they also have a satin sleep bonnet option in a sleek black color.
Spring looks are all about light refreshment and what better way to do that than with some natural tousled waves. Don’t let the overly generic name fool you; this product is good for all hair colors and lengths (although it does work best with those who have a natural wave to their hair). The subtle scent will also make you feel like you’re straight off the beach. For best results, apply to damp hair and let air dry.
