I have very dry hair, so I use this more like a refresher on day 2 hair. I also use this in humid weather to control frizzies. I will use a little brilliant gel in my hands and spray this in my...

Oh dear. Holy grail product for those in search of guaranteed crusty hair result. Otherwise, avoid!

I am a sucker for Aveda products, even though I'm usually satisfied with less than half of what I purchase. This hair spray is an exception. Control Force works well for a firm hold, but smells...

In the minority here, but I hated this hairspray. Gunky, sticky and smelly. I actually threw it away I hated it so much.

Have used this for years; love the scent; it smells lovely and does not compete with my perfume. Adds a touch of shine to my light blonde, thick hair. Only hairspray I ever use.

My favorite hairspray from Aveda. I love the shine, aroma and the hold that it gives. Worth the price. It gives a medium hold with no stickiness, build up or static and leaves hair pliable and not...

As usual I love the smell (I like almost all aveda products scent)...and its your basic everyday hairspray. It works well and holds like it says. I do prefer Air Control though b/c I like the dry...

I am usually a hardcore hair spray hater. I hate the crunchy weirdness that most hairsprays leave behind not to mention I have ultra fine hair which gets weighed down incredibly easily. My...

This is the queen of hairsprays for natural but well held hairdos. It leaves a nice shine on the hair too. My all time fav!

This is the only hairspray that has ever worked for me, and I think it's the only product aside from Kiehl's lip balm that I haven't been able to do without for (It has to be) over 10 years. It...

I have long, thick, curly hair. After straightening, I need something that will keep the hold and prevent fly-aways. Good Points: It makes my hair soft and shiny. Not at all sticky or dry,...

This is my favorite hairspray. It's perfect for my naturally wavy, coarse hair. Just a couple of spritzes leaves my hair with a beautiful shine, holding the waves nicely. Added bonus? The...

Love this hair spray for my medium coarse, color treated hair. I have gone through about 4 bottles of this stuff. Minus one lippie for its scent. I absolutely love the scent of the Brilliant line,...

Overall, I like this hairspray! Smells great, like the rest of the Brilliant line, and adds non-sticky medium hold with a shine shine. It's one and only negative for me is that it is a pump and...
