Please bring it back to stores!
6 years ago
I've been using surfer hair since its first release years ago. The consistency has changed a bit since it's original release, but it has/is my go-to hair product. I have tried many hair products over the years, but always come back to this one. I feel it really does give you that surfer hair look and texture that you get when you spend the day at the beach. I haven't found that in other "surfer hair" products that make that claim. The hold could be better, but the hold is rated at a 2 on the package, which I think is accurate. The scent is light and pleasant and it gives me a ton of volume and texture when applied to damp hair and then blow dried. I'm writing this review because I'm finding that my stores aren't carrying it anymore and it's a good product. Please bring it back.

BRING BACK OLD FORMULA

The old formula was SO perfect I have never found a product that is as good as it. The new formula is so bad and as soon as you guys switch back to the old formula you will gain me as a customer again

Smells really bad, and no longer holds well
6 months ago
I used to really like this product, as it held well and smelled good, kind of tropical. But it no longer has the same hold, and it smells TERRIBLE, like stale tobacco. Certainly not what you want your hair smelling like.

The best hair product i have found!!
a year ago
This easily the best product I have ever tried, and I have tried alot.
Many other products will leave your hair stiff like a rock, or oily and greasy, but this stuff is perfectly in the middle.
It shapes your hair how you want it, and is not too stiff, hard, or crunchy.
it looks dry, like you didn't really care about fixing your hair, but it looks styled like out of a magazine!

My hair is fine, wavy, and difficult to manage. I get caught up in the hype of other products, but always come back to this one....been using for over 10 years. It makes my hair feel fuller and softer. It's not sticky crunchy or greasy...acts like a leave in conditioner with a little control.

Surfer Hair to Smoker Hair
a year ago
I used to use this product when it was in stores, and then started ordering it online after they stopped selling it in stores. Just recently I've bought one via Amazon, it smelled like it had been sitting in a cigarette smoking warehouse. Sent a message to Garnier, no response. Amazon sent me a replacement, same smell. Sent Garnier another message, again no response. Threw both out. I guess this is the end to Surfer Hair, and now called Smoker Hair.
No, I do not recommend this product.
