I also find Frizz Ease and Suave hairsprays to be pretty good too! FE is great on those humid days that tend to make my hair go poof!

Looking for a good hairspray. Good ideas.

Sebastian Shaper is a good hairspray but I cannot stand the smell. I've never understood the following for Elnet either. I don't get the best results and it too smells bad. My favorite is Sexy Hair Soy Touchable hair spray.

Thank you for the list. I know what to get when I run out of hairspray.

The first two sprays I listed are flexible hold. The rusk is great for controlling fly aways without feeling like you\'ve actually used hairspray

Helpful article; there are so many hairsprays on the market making the same claims that is it nearly impossible to decide which to choose. I swear by Phyto haircare products, though - the shampoo and conditioner leave my hair so clean and fresh, and the styling products hold beautifully without weighing my hair down. It is liberating to feel your hair flow freely without worrying that movement will cause frizziness and dullness or simply mess your hair up.
