    When I applied this product for the first time, I adored it, but after a few weeks, it began to build up on my head and I got dander from it! I love the smell, but I wouldn't get this stuff ever...

    My hair: Dark brown, fine, wavy, above shoulders, layered. Does not need anymore volume, but good hold is appreciated when I do the scrunchy look. This does not help at all... The only scrunch I...

    I am completely obsessed with this stuff. I love how when I'm finished styling my hair (blow dried curly upside down) I just spray all over and scrunch and I have perfectly defined curls all day...

    I love this product! I bought it for 99cents on a clearance rack to just try it out. I ue it in the morning after I brush my hair to go to work. The smell alone makes it worth it. This spray...

    I know this is meant for flexible hold, but this is ridiculous. After five minutes, my hair feels and looks like I never sprayed it. Yes, the feel and smell is nice, but I might as well just spray...

    I'm surprised at the bad reviews of this. I just bought my 3rd or 4th bottle of this awhile ago at CVS. I use the whole line because I love the smell. I bought the hairspray because it was on...

    I don't use a lot of hairspray and when I do I prefer a flexible hold. This left my hair really flaky. I'd rather buy Pantene or something.

    This isn't the greatest hairspray in the world - it's wet and sticky and crunchy, but it smells SO pretty I always repurchase. It beats that old, chemical hairspray scent in all those sprays that...

    UPDATED REVIEW: While I prefer aerosol sprays overall, my environmental guilt has led me to pump sprays -- and I like this one okay. I agree with other reviewers that it does go on wet -- but only...

    Pretty expensive for something that works no better than the really really cheap stuff. And with the same cloying yucky smell as the rest of the line. Blech. I'll pass.

    This left my hair sticky and crunchy. A few light sprays and it was impossible to comb through or restyle.

    I really like this spray. It gives my hair a really smooth surface when I spray it all over after styling. It controls the flyaways really well. Plus, it smells AWESOME. Really. The reason it...

    I prefer an aerosol spray (sorry, Mother Nature), but this hairspray is pretty nice. Applied sparingly and evenly, it provides super hold with shine and a nice scent to boot.

    This was the dud of the line. Very wet with zero hold. I may have sprayed water on my hair. All that time to dry my hair straight! Back to CVS.
