Smell is nice. Not a fine mist sprays out like most non-aerosol sprays.
A stream comes out even of your shake it.

Such a great product for doing curtain bangs but would probably not recommend for stronger holds. This is not a replacement for aerosol hairsprays or dry waxes. This has the most natural touch to hair that I’ve tried and I spray it on to my palms first to evenly distribute to my bangs
I’ve tried a couple of different products for my curtain bangs from r and co. I like the outer space spray but found that even though it was not crunchy, it had the least natural feeling hold in terms of texture.. I do like control paste as well, but it is a higher strength hold and there is a learning curve in terms of amount and application. So for my shorter curtain bangs and texture. Backbend takes the cake. It has a thicker viscosity than an aerosol hairspray, just a tad milkier in consistency. I was able to spray it on my hands, massage it around and then apply to my bangs and shape them into place. I noticed this has the lightest and most natural feeling hold out of all three when applied with this method. I would not spray this directly on the hair since it’s not aerosol, it wont be as even. My hair tends to hold a swoop pretty well, so if you need a slightly stronger hold, I would try control paste. If I also use rollers for my hair and found this perfect to put this on damp hair and use back end to airdry them into place. However, for holding a curl on straight hair, I don’t know if this would be my top pick. Halfpipe seemed to have the best outcome due to the shape memory from the wax whilst still having bounce and softness (smell leans masculine, prefer Dark Waves and Relative Paradise over Serious Gaze). Hope this helps someone as R+Co has so many products and it can be overwhelming trying to choose what’s right for you!
Nice volume and texture
I use many R&Co products and was hoping for a non-aerosol finishing spray in my favorite scent--yeah for Backbend... right? Right?! Sadly, no. Upon opening the box, I wondered if a mini travel size was accidentally shipped. Checking my order and the website, indeed the product size is roughly that of a TSA-approved carry-on liquid. My bad for not fully realizing that. However, $36 is spendy for about 4 oz of product. Next up, using this hair looked actually wet. It dried sticky and rough, like old-school hairspray. Oh well.... so many other good options here. This one just needs some work. A couple charity stars for scent and intention.
