Texturizer That Effortlessly Tousles The Contenders:
Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray, $42, vs. Garnier Fructis De-Constructed Texture Tease, $4.29
The Breakdown:
When it comes to texture spray, there's a fine line between tousled and tangled. A bad texturizer will leave hair sticky and knotted — impossible to run your fingers through. But the Garnier Fructis Texture Tease sits firmly on the tousled side. This fruity-scented spritz dries instantly and gives hair an easy, windswept look without any tangles or tackiness. For less than $5, we were pleasantly surprised.
But the Oribe texture spray's reputation precedes itself, and we were giddy (and skeptical) to test it ourselves. The verdict? All rumors were true. After spraying Oribe's lightweight aerosol product on dry hair, you get long-lasting texture, a dose of volume and that distinctively luxe Oribe scent. Basically, it's got everything you could want in a texturizer. True, the product is exactly 10 times the price of its drugstore opponent — and if you're on a budget or new to texturizers, the Garnier does a fine job. But the differences between that and the high-end Oribe are too clear to ignore.
The Winner:
Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray
