Out of all the hair product reviews on my blog, you would think by now I would have thrown in my opinion on some of the popular hairsprays on the market. In the past my motto with hairspray has been " spray your hair until you can taste it, then add 2 more sprays and you are good to go". OK, that was totally a joke, but I love hairspray. I must say I currently am trying to use a little less, but i'm hooked. Anyone who has lived in the South will tell you that the humidity can DESTROY any hairstyle, and so hairspray for many folks is a must! When choosing a a good hairspray, I feel there are many factors that must be obtained. A hairspray for me must: come in an aerosol can, have a FINE mist that is not too strong, have a fabulous smell, deliver an anti-humidity hold that lasts all day long, and not leave a visible residue on my brilliant brunette tresses. If you have dark hair you are well aware of the visible dulling residue that some hairsprays and styling products can leave behind. I have tried other hairsprays from Garnier in the past, that were good, but I must say this one takes the cake! To start out this hairspray is very affordable, I paid about $4.00 for a 8.25oz can. Since i'm trying to keep my hairspray use to a minimum lately, this can will last quite a while. The size of the can is rather slender, enabling you to hold and spray it with ease. The can itself is not very heavy. The smell of this hairspray is absolutely FANTASTIC. It claims to have "Natural Bamboo Extract, for Bounce Back Hold". The can clearly states that the hairspray provides "24-hour hold in 90% humidity". The spray is a very fine mist, that seems to dry very fast with no problem. The hold of this hairspray is very good, but not such a severe hold that you can't comfortably run a brush through your hair after the day is over. This product explains its use of bamboo by stating "Selected for its strength, suppleness and resilience, bamboo bends but never breaks, This formula keeps you in control of your style with frizz control and bounce-back hold that lasts all day". This hairspray claims to be a "volumizing hairspray", and says "This volumizing hairspray lifts from root to tip to boost flat, tired hair with body,fullness and extra strong hold--even with moisture in the air--all day, every day." I feel that the light weight that this hairspray has enables your hair to be more bodacious. I would recommend this hairspray to anyone in search of a hairspray that gives a descant amount of hold, without a sticky residue left behind. I find this product to be making its way onto my "FAVORITES LIST". I advise anyone to give it a try. It is available at many drugstores, and also online at
www.target.com (this link goes directly to the product's information on targets website). It is very hard to find a hair spray that fits my needs, so when I am able to give one 5 stars, it says a lot about that product. You can find out more about this product, and other Garnier products at

As always have a great day,
