Hairspray

Okay, if you've seen my response to the favorite beauty products thread .. you'll notice I have a bunch of favorites .. but one thing I am having absolutely no luck with is hairspray. I just can't find a hairspray I love .. just ones that I can tolerate, barely. Once I get my hair the way I like it, and spray lightly, it just never seems to stay in place. Now, I don't want helmut head, but I would like the fullness to stay .. and that's another problem .. I find too many hairsprays weigh my hair down.

Any suggestions??

My hair type is curly, but my hair is not thick. It's a dark blonde, light brown .. so I hate a hairspray that makes my hair dull or darker than it really is.

I want a hairspray that will hold, but I don't want to feel the spray just sitting there on my hair, and I hate the sticky feeling .. or spray that makes hair look dried out.

The latest brands I've been using are:

Pantene Elastesse
ABBA Zeroscent

And one final request .. I prefer pumps over aerosol sprays.

I've used just about every hairspray out there, from salon brands to grocery store specials, and my favorites thus far are Suave Naturals and Pantene Elastesse (sp?).

I only have a small bottle of hairspray - I hardly use it - but it's Biolage. It's not sticky and I think it holds relatively well, but I don't use it to often and more for a natural look -- so within 15 minutes, my hands are through my hair anyway!

I use the Aussie Scrunch Spray. You need to use it lightly because if too much it can be very sticky. I do a light spray in the am, and don't touch my hair the rest of the day. I have been using it for years.

I used to like the Suave one, but they changed it and it's not good anymore (jmo)

I use a combination of Loreal spray volumizing gel...it lifts your roots...when hair is wet

and I finish off with good old aquanet...
