Hairspray is one of the most versatile hair products on the market. Used for both finishing and styling the hair, hairspray can be used in a variety of ways to achieve a preferred look. But the number of options we now have in the category was not always available.
From the late '80s through the early 2000s, it seemed as though using hairspray meant one thing: the hairstyle needs to last for days. With the use of the long-lasting product came the many unfortunate, albeit hilarious, hairspray-filled memories of our youth: crispy hair, overly exaggerated curls, and that slightly horrifying crunching sound if a curl was moved too far out of place. Thankfully, we've come a long way from being relegated to only extreme-hold hairsprays, but as the market continues to grow, choosing the best hairspray for your specific hair texture can feel a bit tedious. If you have a curly shag, which spray best emphasises that texture? If you've jumped on the octopus haircut trend, how do you add volume and hold to your layers without the stiffness? Can natural hair even use hairspray?
We get it — choosing the right hairspray can be an overwhelming task, so we've rounded up some of the best ones on the market. From coily to thin hair and everything in between, these sprays will make everything from styling to holding a style, much easier. Read ahead for some of the best hairsprays for all hair types.
