20 Best Hairspray To Hold Curls For Fine Hair (2023 Updated)

I love this stuff! When I 1st started using it, I had no idea it was a dry shampoo as well. Bonus!! My hair tends to be pretty flat in the summer months. Well, who am I kidding. It’s flat all year round.

Fave 4 adds all the volume I desperately seek. And holds for several hours.

I was getting my hair done the first time I saw the fave 4 texture spray. My hairstylist used it in my hair for texture for a huge French braid she was doing. I have kinda thin baby soft hair and it made my hair have awesome volume and literally texture to hold the braid.

When I got home I immediately asked my stylist what she used because my hair had never had this much volume. She told me what it was and how to order it. I bought many similar products trying to get the same affect because I didn’t want to wait on the shipping and nothing compared.

I ended up ordering it and now I’m literally obsessed and won’t leave the house without using it. My friend has super thick long hair and she used it thinking it was just regular hairspray. I told her about it and explained how it was different.

She said she noticed it gave her hair a piece hold and it was different than anything she used before. Let’s just say she’s obsessed with it now too. So this is great for any hair type!.

I have been using this product for over 6 years. My hairdresser recommended it because I have baby fine hair. Also, I live in a high humidity state. This hairspray/gel is awesome stuff. It does block humidity and keeps hair in place without being sticky or stiff and yet it brushes out easily.

Husband also uses it. When I do buy it I buy in bulk (3 or more cans) because I never want to run out. I hope this company continues to make this product. Do not know what we (our hair) would do without it.

I might add I have recommended it to others including another hairdresser. Others are using it also and the hairdresser is actually selling it in her shop.

This product works best for my hair type. I have baby fine thin hair this product does not weigh it down and it does not feel sticky or stiff. I am able to use it to style as well. Wouldn’t do without it.

However it is pricy.

Hi I am a wolf man. It’s not easy for a guy like me to keep his hair in place. But when that full moon is rising and I’m tearing up shop and chasing scantily clad women I want my hair to look its best.

Areogel keeps my locks from getting loose when I’m lavishing the lovelies under the silver moonlight. This spray is incredibly strong yet it doesn’t flake like the cheaper brands. Face it, when the moon comes out and I become a ravishing sex Beast the last thing I want is for my creature features to be marred buy unsightly flakes.

I would recommend this product to any would-be Romeo or demented doctor any day of the week.

I am 51 years old. I found this hairspray about 6 months ago, and it has been a game changer for me. Where has it been all my life, and how did I not know about it?! Until this product, I hated hairspray and refused to use it.

I hated the way hairspray made my hair sticky, crunchy, and icky to touch, and I never could effectively style my hair with it anyway. As I have aged over the past ten years, my hair has gotten courser, curlier, and shorter.

The natural, straight style I’d known and loved for decades wasn’t working anymore. I needed something more sophisticated, more styled, and something to tame the frowziness. It was obvious I needed to make my peace with hairspray, but I hated everything I tired until this Paul Mitchell miracle.

It holds my curls in place and tamed, but my husband and kids still love to touch my hair. My hair still blows in the wind and bounces when I walk. It does not feel sticky. It does not crunch. My curls stay in place and look neat and tidy, and they look like they stay that way on their own.

Best of all — I can brush through it the next morning and start over! As I’ve aged, I also can no longer wash my hair every day, if I do it dries out too much and breaks off. With this Paul Mitchell hairspray, I can brush it the next morning, restyle it, and respray it.

It’s like there’s no buildup at all. I never get to the point that I need to wash it because of the spray. I always get to the point that my scalp needs to be shampooed before I feel like I need to wash out the spray.

The travel size is great for travel, it never has leaked in my luggage. All I can say is, I know this hairspray has been around a long time, and I just wish it had entered my life 35 years ago.

Paul Mitchell Freeze and Shine Hairspray has been legendary for decades due to its gravity defying hold. Fancy, high-priced hairsprays from Big Name Hair Brands have honestly never been able to compete.

That’s why loyal buyers will be enraged to find out that Paul Mitchell changed the ingredients in Freeze and Shine, and the new ingredients provide NO hold at all. Your hair immediately flattens down after you spritz it.

It doesn’t even offer a medium hold, and certainly not a strong one. The small is almost the same, but the new version smells a little more like alcohol. If you want a strong hold hairspray, don’t even bother to give this new formula a try because you WILL end up returning it.

Save yourself the hassle of a return and just start looking now for a different strong/firm hold hairspray.

I have naturally curly hair, but have used this product after I straighten my hair and am on day 2 or 3 and want to give it that beach wave look. It doesn’t seem to do the trick. I have also tried using it after I’m on day 3+ of using the Le Duo or 32mm Wand.

I don’t think it does much for my waves. I did however, just read a post from jasmine Rae on how she uses this product BEFORE curling her hair to help give texture and grip for the curl to hang on too.

I am definitely going to try that. I have used another brand of the same type of spray and would have given it zero stars, because of how it left my hair feeling. This product is not as bad, but you have to keep in mind it is a sea salt spray.

If you been to the ocean, you know how the natural ocean water spray leaves your hair feeling. I’ve read comments how people are really disappointed about this l’ange product, but it is meant to give the same effect, so you can’t really be surprised at the feel it leaves behind!.

This is one of my absolute favorite L’ange products. I use it for a quick wash and go when I don’t have time to heat style. I have straight hair with no wave whatsoever, but with this product I can actually achieve a beach wave curl using no heating tools.

I let my hair airdry while I apply makeup then spay Sat and Sea on hair and scrunch a bit, let it dry up a bit then spray Troi Chic Hairsprayand scrunch some more. Instant Beach waves. I figured this out on vacation going from pool day to dinner with limited time to style, and I have been doing it ever since.

Smells so amazing and refreshing. Adds body and volume to any type of hair and is very lightweight, not sticky at all. Also great to use on 2nd and 3rd day hair to refresh style.

This is a good product, but it is wrong for my ultra-fine, thinning hair. Although it has very good hold, even in intense Texas humidity, it makes it very, very hard to brush or comb your hair after application — even, like, the NEXT DAY.

I had to use the pointy end of a rat-tail comb to work through my hair, strand by strand, to loosen it up a day or two after using this product. (And I DO NOT go crazy with hairspray, despite what y’all think about Texas women!) Ugh! I could hear my hair breaking in the process.

NOT GOOD. It would be an excellent product, I think, for special occasion hair styles and up-dos, like for weddings or proms. You will definitely get good hold! But you’ll have to wash it out of your hair before running a brush or comb through it.

I’ve gone through hundreds of cans of this stuff over the past 5 years. It’s an absolutely awesome product and is the best on the market. I’m writing this review because of two issues that I’ve consistently experienced over the years, that would be awesome if they could be improved and, if it is improved, this hairspray would be literally perfect.

The first one is that about 1 out of every 3 (minimum) of the cans I purchase stop working properly with around 1/2 to 1/3 of spray left in the can. I’ve tried all the tricks cleaning the nozzle, removing it, etc.

, to no avail. It will either just sputter out a bad mix of propellant and spray, or you can hear a little bit of propellant coming out, with no spray along with it. The can becomes effectively useless.

The second issue, much smaller, is the consistency between batches with regards to the fragrance (which fortunately goes away once the spray dries). One out of about every 15-20 cans will have quite a strange odor that honestly smells literally like a garbage can.

And within this past month, almost every can I purchased had a different, new strange odor that’s a bit hard to describe, but almost smells like. rotting olive oil? Again, very minor because the smell is only there when the spray is wet (or my hair gets a little wet after the spray dries), but still.

Anyway, this spray is wonderful, please keep up the great work guys, thanks for this amazing product!.

I’ve been using this spray for almost a year because I absolutely love the results. Each bottle (and I mean EVERY BOTTLE) I’ve had issues with the nozzle clogging up. I’ve used hot water, a toothbrush, soap, even rubbing alcohol to try to unclog it.

Sometimes it works for a few days, but most of the time it’s a waste. So I just watch the spray direction in my mirror as I use it to make sure I’m actually spraying my hair and not my neck or the ceiling.

As of now, this will be my very last bottle. I plan to research other brands and buy another product.

I love GK Hair, Stromg Hold Spray’s Fiber. I have been using it for over 7 years now. – It provides a natural matte look (as opposed to the “wet hair” look of gels and pomades). Just use a small amount (I use more than a pea size – about two small peas) and warm it up by rubbing your palms together.

Then play and style your hair with your palms, as you desire. If you want, you can always add some more. Don’t over-do it, though; it won’t look natural. – If you want a slightly sleek look, you can moisten your hair lightly and then apply the wax.

But the product provides almost zero hold with damp hair. – Since you will be using a tiny amount, the puck-sized can will last you about 4-6 months (depending on your usage). – It is not water-proof, which I like.

This means that I don’t need to shampoo my hair to get it out of my hair. – You can get rid of it from your palms and fingers by simply washing with water and soap. – If you run your hands through your hair later during the day, it doesn’t “stick” to your hand; I like that.

– In the can, the wax is quite soft and is not tough like mustache waxes (which require you to run them under hot water to soften the wax, or use a blow-dryer to soften the wax in the can). It is not fluid-like and won’t fall or move even if you keep the can upside-down at normal temperatures.

– I love its lemon-sage scent; it is subtle and not over-powering. It doesn’t smell nasty like so many other hair products filled with mostly artificial ingredients. – It works best with very short and short hair (up to 2.

5 inches). You can style the hair any way you want and it will maintain its shape. You can lay it down or spike it up or try a short pomp. If you want a more “fuller” look, ask your barber or stylist to add “texture” to your hair (this means, they will either thin it with thinning shears or a razor, or point cut it at an angle to give it a “choppiness”.

With choppy hair, the Fiber will work really well in giving a fuller look). – It provides a strong hold for short hair (not screaming strong hold, though). – With longer hair, it is sometimes a challenge.

Laying it down works best for long hair; but if you want to spike your longer hair up, this will not work. It is not meant to, so I don’t blame it. – My hair is mostly straight, but gets slightly wavy when over 3 inches (at which point, I get it cut shorter and then can use Fiber).

– It does not work for styling your mustache. Again, it is not meant to, so I don’t blame it. I tried it, but it failed miserably in achieving a handlebar mustache. – Is it the best hair product out there for a matte look? Definitely not! There are many others which provide stronger hold and work on longer hair as well.

But still, Fiber does the job really well in its category and I still use it because it works well with my hair. To sum up: good matte look providing, water-proof lemon-sage smelling hair wax for short hair up to 2.

5 inches.

I’ve been using this hair molding cream for about 8 years. I first discovered the more expensive name brand version of the “fibre” cream but it became more difficult to find and I stumbled upon this cheaper version which is every bit as good but is cheaper.

PROS:It does a great job holding shape while still looking dry. I have to use it when my hair is just slightly damp or it’s way too hard to use. Other molding creams I’ve tried either leave the hair looking wet (and thus darken the color) or aren’t strong enough to give a messed up look and the hair starts wilting.

If you use it when your hair is still set it will keep the darkened color of your wet hair (if you are blonde like me, anyway). I assume if that’s what you want then you wouldn’t get a product that’s supposed to have a dry look.

CONS:It doesn’t age very well, so after about a month or so it gets hard to use. It’s really dry and you have to scoop some on your hands and rub it in your hands to get an even coating on your fingers, but that doesn’t happen very well.

Instead it stays in clumps which you often have to pick out of your hair. There will be some parts of your hair that have too much and other parts that don’t have enough which is annoying. you have to really try to make it as even as you can which isn’t easy.

It’s hard to get off your hands so you have to wash your hands quite a bit which is also annoying. WARNING: Do not let it get warm! Keep it in moderate temperatures or it will melt. And when it melts it changes the chemical composition and the materials separate which you can’t undo.

I left a brand new tin in my car thinking it wasn’t hot enough to melt it, but I was wrong. I ended up having to buy a brand new one. 🙁 This is the second or third time this has happened over the years I’ve been using it.

This has been my go-to pomade/styling cream for about a decade now. I have tried a few others from Aveda, Fat Hair, Mitch, Paul Mitchell, and others that I can’t remember. I always come back to this.

I have also tried the other pomades from GK Hair, Stromg Hold Spray and found that they just don’t suit my hair well. Fiber doesn’t have any shine and my hair never looks like it has any product in it — a very natural look.

It does tend to make hair look fuller and “clumpy”, if that makes sense. The hold is moderate; if you need additional hold, you might want a quick spritz of hair spray afterward. When it gets really humid or wet, I find it still holds but not as well as hair spray can.

I will caution you that if you use this product and sweat profusely, or routinely get soaking wet, it can run down your forehead a bit and cause breakouts. You should also exercise caution when applying it, because if you’re sloppy and get it on your forehead you can bet on a few whiteheads there the next day.

Seriously though, use this stuff sparingly. My hair is quite short (1 in. or less, typically) and I use a pea-sized amount for my whole head. I read a lot of complaints here about how someone hair felt very oily and sticky after using this, to which I would say that you overused the product.

Even with daily use, this 3 oz. tub lasts me 6 months or longer. Also, when applying, be sure to rub it into your hands for a few seconds to activate it and ensure you don’t get a big clump of it into your hair.

Using it sparingly also means it will rinse very easily. Overuse is pretty obvious — if you run your hands through your hair (or get a lady-friend to), your hands will feel waxy.

I became a fast lover of all things Bounce Curl and it is now the only brand in my hair care line up. To be honest this was the one product I wasn’t sure about the first few times I tried it. However, I have found the best use for it for my hair and my routine and now I love it! I struggle with my curls holding shape and remaining frizz free from day to day.

I love using the the hair spray the night of a fresh wash before I go to bed. I like to flip my head upside down and really focus on my ends but sharing the love everywhere. I definitely have to wait a little bit for it dry and then my hair goes in a pineapple.

It looks basically as good as fresh the next morning. It is definitely a hair spray and adds hold so if you are looking for some extra hold definitely try this hair spray.

I have never liked hairspray, they were always to sticky and didn’t help. This is the first hairspray that helps tame my flyaways. I spray a little in my hands and lightly smooth over my dry hair. It does not make my hair feel sticky.

It also helps keep the frizzies down but doesn’t make my hair feel hard. Plus, this smells amazing! The scent does stay on my hair for a while, which I love, but if you are sensitive to smells this may be too much.

So after hearing review after review applauding this hair spray I decided to give it a try. I have thick, straight hair that knows what it wants and is very stubborn but this spray actually changes my hair type, you can do anything and I mean anything with it from messy to curly to parted and it works amazing with hair creams, pastes or puttys.

It smells amazing and washes out very easily and can also be reworked even a day after. The hold is medium but personally my hair doesnt even flinch when its in. The can is huge as well so lasts a while but youll be using this everyday so it wont last Overall 55 from me and I cant see myself trying a different hair spray any time soon and I have medium length hair, incredible stuff.

The only hairspray I will use Absolutely amazing I love the scent, like most Fudge products smells amazing the scent lasts. It is slightly pricier for hairspray but at the same time it lasts. Its got such a mediumfirm hold that you dont need much.

It never makes my hair go hard then unmovable. It doesnt make it look wet or hair with spray either which I love. It keeps waves in my long fine hair really well.

I originally got this hair spray and it wasn’t spraying correctly. However the company is one of the most amazing companies I have ever felt with and they sent me a new bottle. I absolutely love this hair spary and this company.

They truly stand by there products in which they should because there things are amazing!!.

I did not purchase from the website however, I did purchase from my stylist. I have never been more impressed with the flexibility of this product! I have very stubborn Native American/Asian hair. The kind that will not hold a curl unless you torch it.

Well, I no longer need to torch it! The key to my success is this! I use it pre-heat styling on dry hair on the low-med hold setting on the bottle. When I am done styling I hit it with high. It 90-95% of the time it will hold my style with perfection.

Mind you the times it doesn’t it usually when I am up to no good and nothing will hold my hair. LOL It’s excellent for touching up after work to prepare for a night out. or even a night in (if you know what I mean).

I will repurchase here if my stylist doesn’t have it in stock. This is my must have product when I heat style my hair. Oh heck, even when I don’t heat style it has done me right when I throw my hair up in a messy bun and just need to tame those newbies that haven’t learned manners.

Thank you Design Me for having such an excellent product.

This is the BEST hairspray EVER! I have super fine, very thin hair. No other hairspray has ever held my hairstyle, particularly if I curled it, without being super stiff and sticky. This product is a game changer.

I adjust to max hold for curled style, and it holds all day but is still soft to the touch. For normal days of straight, I adjust to lighter hold. It smells great and doesn’t leave a stiff crunchy feeling or residue that you can’t even get a comb through.

Even brushed through and slept on, a little spray of the dry shampoo the next day and it still looks as good as the day before! I’ll never use another hairspray—so don’t stop making this!! I love all of my DesignMe products—wish they’d make a dry conditioner—hint hint.

That’s it’s vegan is the top priority for me. However, this is simply the best hairspray I’ve ever used. It’s light non-sticky, easily brushes out smells good too. Fabulous hold even in the drizzle. I started with a mini size and then when I went to reorder and saw the full size offered at half price I had to order two.

I will definitely reorder when needed and I am encouraged to try other products from the range.

This is the first time I have.used this product. I found it light on my fine hair and effective in holding a style . It brushes out easily and at the same time it keeps my hair in good condition .
