My Experience

I'm not a big fan of this spray. First off, the scent is lavender. I didn't realize this when I bought it. I don't like lavender, but I know a lot of people do, so I don't hold that against it. The thing I didn't like about this was that it didn't do a thing for frizz (which I have a lot of), and it made my hair feel gross. It felt like it was coated in dirt or something. It did do what it was meant for, though; it held my hair's shape all day (and the next day as well) with flexible hold and no crunch or flaking.. Even so, I won't be repurchasing this when/if I run out. If I use it, it will probably be for an updo of some sort.

Pros:

• The scent didn't linger all day. The reasons why I consider this a pro are A: I don't like lavender, and B: it would clash with the other scents I regularly wear.
• It worked. I mean, it held my hair in its shape all day, and my hair even looked pretty decent the next day.

Cons:

• It's lavender scented. I didn't realize this when I got it. Of course, this may not be a negative to other people. You may love lavender. I'm just not a fan of lavender.
• It made my hair feel gross. This is a pretty big con for me. I don't like products that make my hair feel untouchable. It made my hair feel gritty and, over all, gross. That bothered me.
• It did absolutely nothing for my frizz. Sigh. I still have yet to find a product that makes my hair frizz-free. :(

So, to sum it up, this is an OK hairspray if you don't mind what your hair feels like. It would probably be good for an updo (which is likely what I'll use it for in the future). I personally wouldn't recommend this product, though.

Do you use hairspray? What kind? Post a comment!
