The Secret to Perfect Waves: Drybar's Texas Tea Volumizing Spray

Last month—after years of unsuccessful scrunching, lifting, and teasing—I found the perfect product that transformed my stick-straight, waist-length hair into a bouncier, more tousled version of itself.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been hunting for the perfect product to transform my stick-straight, waist-length hair into a bouncier, more tousled version of itself. Last month—after years of unsuccessful scrunching, lifting, and teasing—I found it. Late one night, I spritzed Drybar’s Texas Tea Volumizing Spray into my flat, tired hair on a whim, twisted it into a messy topknot, and went to bed. The result? Big, springy waves that—combed through with my hands instead of a brush the next morning—lasted for hours. Proof that, sometimes, beauty dreams do come true.
