Hairspray.

I can't control my hair without using hairspray. It's wavy and fly away.

I use Silvikrin firm hold. It does a pretty good job but after a couple of days my scalp feels itchy and my hair is a terrible texture so I have to wash it and the routine starts again.

Do all women use hairspray I wonder and if not how do they control their hair (assuming it's more than 2" long)

Re: Hairspray.

I use mousse and a gum ( which is a wax product ). Only use hairspray if I know I need to look totally groomed for a while longer then 5 mins

But I do wash my hair every day

Re: Hairspray.

I have some hair spray, but I rarely use it.
Even then it is only a quick spray of 'Normal hold.'

It's that L'Oreal Elnett one, and one canister last me months and months.

Re: Hairspray.

I also use the L’Oreal Elnett hair spray ocassionally, usually if I’m going out for the day. I like it as it brushes out easily.

Re: Hairspray.

My hair is short but fine and has a tendency to misbehave. I use lid own brand and was it every other day.

Re: Hairspray.

Never touch the stuff myself but one of my 'ballroom dancing' friends swears by Elnett. She says it holds really well - even when jiving - and brushes out easily.

Re: Hairspray.

I like the golden one, when I put my hair up I tuck in strays and give them a little blast, makes my up dos last all evening or day. One nice thing about it is it seems to brush out reasonably easily. I've used other I feel I need to wash the stuff out.

I use tesco value spray awful stuff 50p a big can to set dried flowers and leaves it stops them falling apart so fast.

Re: Hairspray.

I use Silvikrin firm hold too Carol, as you say it does the job. Have to admit I wash my hair every day though so it's washed out daily. I don't like Elnet products they don't seem to do the job for me...each to his own though what works for one and all that

Re: Hairspray.

Intriguing thread. I stopped using hairspray sometime in the '90s. I used to always be spritzing my hair into shape. Elnett was the best. But the stuff felt icky like straw. Then I went through a phase of straightening it that lasted about ten years and I found with straighteners it just kept its shape all day - a godsend. These days I just make sure I have a good haircut which doesn't need any care. My hair tends to go all wavy if its windy or damp so no amount of spray will help that.

Re: Hairspray.

My hair is very fine and I keep it short. I use Harmony extra firm hold, not expensive and it's easy to brush out. More importantly for me it doesn't smell of anything.
