Cake Beauty Satin Sugar Sugar-Infused Texturizing Beach Spray - 120ml - $24 - a non-drying and body building spray that creates soft waves instantly for touchable, tousled and textured hair. Formulated with sugar and a pinch of salt, the spray hydrates and creates perfectly undone waves that stay put throughout the day resulting in effortless beach hair.

Even if you have short hair like me the spray is great for adding volume and texture - not to mention it smells so good, I would wear it as perfume!
