This chic olive green bottle is home to one of the best scented hair sprays we’ve ever tried. It heat protects up to 230 degrees and provides a strong hold to keep curls, straight strands and flyways in place. It’s infused with frankincense, juniper wood and water lily, and made in collaboration with Perfumer H – a luxury fragrance brand created by British perfumer Lyn Harris. Aside from the gorgeous scent, we loved how it didn’t leave our hair feeling sticky or crunchy, and at the end of the day we were able to easily brush it out without being laden down with product. It keeps hair feeling soft but provided an impressive hold on our tester’s tonged waves, despite her naturally poker-straight hair that struggles to hold a curl.
You can’t go wrong with this cult classic. Not only is it a bargain price, but it’s a failsafe option for a long-lasting hold on curled or straightened hair, worn down or in an up-do. It doesn’t leave hair sticky, there’s no residue left behind and it keeps hair soft to touch. For the price of a little over a fiver, it’s hard to fault, although we would say, if you’re sensitive to smell, it has quite a strong scent. Our hair still felt natural, without a tacky veil sitting over the top. If you have fine hair, this is a great option that won’t lead to product buildup, no matter how regularly you use it.
This is a great everyday hairspray if, like our tester, you regularly curl your hair. It’s medium hold, which we think is the perfect balance between keeping your styled strands in place but not leaving them stiff. All in all, with a few quick spritzes, you’re left with less frizzy hair that’s still soft and brushable. Best of all, it coats hair in a protective but lightweight veil of luminosity, making it perfect for dull hair in need of a boost. It smells fantastic too, thanks to a formula that’s rich in argan oil – a key ingredient for hair hydration, strength and shine.
