Goldwell Dynamic Loop Curl SprayIf this product were rated on the springy-ness it provides alone, it would get a 10. The bamboo proteins in this spray work some sort of voodoo magic to make curls into perfectly shaped, people-stop-you-on-the-street-to-compliment-your-hair spirals. But it's not all roses and daisies: While it does add shine, it doesn't moi...More |

Wella Color Preserve Thermal Protecting SprayThis lightly scented, non-drying, pump spray claims that it preserves, protects and prolongs hair color up to 78 longer, but it's hard for the average person to confirm that. (If you're styling with heat often, why take a chance?) What it immediately delivers after a hot blow-dry is boosted vibrancy in color. Those who have...More $13.99See more Wella products |

Alberto VO5 Extreme Style Volume Blast Styling SprayStyle won't hold for 24 hours but volume will. I used this to rope my naturally flat hair into a full, beach-y look one evening.

But don't believe the ...More |

Redken Workforce 09 Flexible Volumizing SprayDespite a "24-hour humidity resistance" stamp, this spray left my fine hair flat after five hours of walking through Manhattan in early September.
