Spray it like you mean it: hairsprays to keep your hairstyle in place

The ludicrous updo of Ursula from The Little Mermaid, the skunk-like blowout of Cruella De Vil in 101 Dalmatians and the big curls of Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman – these looks taught us that that all we need to pull off an iconic hairstyle is confidence. Well, almost. A good hairspray can also be pretty essential.

Hairsprays have secured a spot in the haircare industry since the rock and roll era of music bought with it the “rockstar” hair trend. The culture of using hair sprays has evolved to include a wide range of products, from traditional aerosols to modern, eco-friendly options. Hairspray as a part of hairstyling has recently gained popularity with the unfolding of at-home styling tutorials that teach us how to curate salon-style hair from the comfort of our homes.  

Hairspray for different hair types

A few might limit themselves to hair serums and resist hairsprays because of its uncertain treatment of textured hair. But, we’ve got you. Here are our favourite hairsprays along with their impact on different hair types:

1. Schwarzkopf Taft Power Hair Mega Strong 5 Hair Spray:

This hairspray is marketed as being able to provide a hold for up to 24 hours. It contains panthenol, a vitamin B5 derivative that can help moisturise and strengthen the hair. It makes for a perfect hairspray for those with dry tresses.

2. Sebastian Professional Re-Shaper Strong Hold Hair Spray:

This hairspray offers a stronghold that can be reworked throughout the day. It contains dimethicone, a silicone that adds shine and smoothness to the hair.

3. Toni&Guy Heat Protection Mist Spray:

This spray is marketed as a heat protectant to be used before styling with hot tools to keep your desired hairstyle intact. It contains a blend of conditioning ingredients such as panthenol, silk amino acids, and glycerin which makes it suitable for all types of hair.

4. BBlunt Hot Shot Hold Spray for Instant & Firm Hold:

This spray promises instant and firm hold for all kinds of hairstyles. It contains hydrolysed wheat protein that strengthens and protects the hair. It is ideal for those with denser, thicker hair.

5. Kevin Murphy Touchable Spray Wax Finishing Hair Spray:

This finishing spray is designed to provide a flexible hold with a natural-looking finish. It contains beeswax, which helps add texture and hold to the hair, making it the best hairspray for those with crimpled hair ends.

6. Rene Furterer Style Ultra Holding Spray:

This spray is a treat for greasy hair types. It helps provide a long-lasting, ultra-strong hold without weighing down the hair. It contains vitamin B5 and natural extracts such as acacia and mallow that moisturise and protect the hair.

7. Wella Professionals Eimi Sugar Spray for Voluminous Texture:

For those with thinly dense hair, this one is a game changer. It offers a voluminous texture and a matte finish. It contains sugar, which adds texture and hold to the hair, and alcohol, which can be a bit drying for the hair.

Tips to help you get the best out of your hairspray:

Keep your styling needs in consideration:

A little research into the choice of hairspray for your hair type and styling needs can go a long way. Since different hair sprays have different holding strengths, choosing the appropriate one for your hair type can help you achieve your desired look.  If you have fine hair, look for a light-hold spray that won't weigh down your hair. If you have thick, curly hair, you may need a stronger hold spray to keep your style in place.

The drier the hair, the better:

For better results, apply hairspray to dry hair rather than wet hair. This will allow the spray to set more effectively and hold your style in place for longer.

Maintain distance:

When applying hairspray, hold the can about 8-10 inches away from your hair. This will ensure the spray is evenly distributed and won't create a sticky or crunchy texture in one concentrated area.

Sections are always simpler:

To ensure your style stays in place all day, spray in small sections rather than all over at once. This will allow you to focus on the areas that need the most hold and avoid over-spraying.

Go lighter:

Use a light touch. When applying hair spray, use a light touch and avoid over-applying. Too much spray can make your hair feel stiff and heavy. Start with a small amount and build up as needed.

Allow the spray to dry completely:

Let your hair dry completely after spraying on the product before touching your hair or brushing it. This will ensure that your style stays in place and won't be disrupted by any movements or humidity.
