Not as advertized

I was excited to try this product because of its claim to revitalize any hairstyle, but it was not at all what I expected. I used a conservative amount, applied only to the roots, and it made my hair into a sticky mess. The only use I've found for it is to add texture for updo's. Definitely not a good product for long, fine hair.

IT'S AWESOME

Maybe the other girls are using too much product but I didn't find it sticky at all. I think this is a miracle product. It will freshen/pouf up your day/s old hairstyle. I sprayed it in my hair while still damp and set it with heat rollers...the volume and curl lasted THREE DAYS! My co-workers could not believe it because the curl normally goes out of my hair after one day.

it's ok

This spray does hold well and does give some shine and volume but it is RIDICULOUSLY sticky. Your skin feels sticky and your hair. It does the job but there are way better sprays out there and for less.

It was okay

This hairspray does not work well for long hair at all, it may work wonders on short hair and maybe a little bit of volume for medium hair, it is sticky if you use too much of it, and dose not hold for too long, i would recommend this for touch ups.

I use this as a "spray mousse"...

...(and not as intended via package directions). The spray applicator is actually quite unique for a mousse-like product, and that is what makes this a winner for me - I can spray directly onto my roots and not have to worry about getting the product on the rest of my hair (also nice not to have sticky hands!). The product seems expensive for a drugstore brand (~$15 at Walgreens), however, it takes a good two months or so to go through the entire bottle.

so-so

texturize? yes. Volume? yes. Sticky? YES! I appreciated that it did add oomph to my second day staightened hair. (my hair is nat. curly/ med/fine texture) but it was not an easy use product. it spurts instead of sprays. its very sticky. it did refresh my style by adding a little wave to my previuously straightened hair (which is what i wanted...kind of the windblown ocean hair look)
