How-To: Get Hairspray Off Your Walls
Do you have patches of sticky layers on your bedroom floor or splotches on your bathroom wall, both of which can be directly attributed to the mist of your preferred hairspray? Does a coating of the sticky liquid line the headrest in your car? (Who, me?) In case you've got some hairspray buildup, I've done some research to find ways to safely remove these tacky spots.
Reader Review of the Day: Suave 4x Mega Rave Hairspray
Back in high school I used so much Rave and Salon Selectives hair spray, I am still rather concerned about my lungs — and the ozone, for that matter. I have to admit, although the packaging and formulation are different now, my thanks go out to Barbiesugar for taking me on a drip down memory lane with her review of Suave 4x Mega Rave Hairspray, Scented ($2.89). Although it wasn't a "rave review," here's what she thought:
"I bought this product right before a wedding in Chicago.
Coming Soon: (Legal) L'Oreal Elnett Satin!
Regardless of the haircare sponsor of any show during Fashion Week, stylists pack L'Oreal Elnett hairspray in their bags like contraband. Which it is: The stuff has been banned in the US since 1987 due to the use of ozone-damaging flourocarbon propellants. Until now, that is.
Product Review: Oscar Blandi Lacca Hairspray
About a month ago, Oscar Blandi launched a brand-new medium hold aerosol hairspray called Lacca ($23). What sets this styling product apart from the crowd is the scent, the ingredients and its anti-static properties. Not only can you use this to keep your hair in place, it can also double as a static guard (a little trick for ya).
Product Review: Spray de Mode
Truth be told, I haven't been into hairspray since the days when Firehouse and other lousy rock bands promoted the big-hair look. Truthfully, I wasn't into the music, but I wanted to fit in with the popular girls. So every morning, I'd break out Mom's curling iron, twist my bangs into a crisp claw of curls, and look like a fool despite my best efforts.
Product Review: James Brown London Hairspray
I was so excited to finally receive samples of the new James Brown London products earlier this week. James is one of Kate Moss's best friends, and he's been doing her hair for years. We've been hearing so much beauty buzz about this modernly packaged hair care collection that the suspense was killing me.

Hold It! Firm Hold Hairsprays
Welcome back to my hairspray series! Firm hold hairsprays are must haves for severe updos, slicked back pony tails and ballet buns. They are also great if you have layered hair or bangs that you need to mold into place.Hold It! Medium Hold Hairsprays
With all of the gorgeous red carpet and complex hair dos I've been covering, I realized that a light hold hairspray isn't always enough. Sometimes you've got to kick things up a notch to ensure all that hard work doesn't fall apart. However, trying to find a hairspray that won't leave your hair (and fingers) feeling sticky and icky isn't always that easy.
Hold It! Hairsprays That Really Take Hold
Finding the right hold hair spray is trickier than you think. If it's too light of a hold, your time consuming runway blow out will fall, and if it's too strong, you risk looking like you have a stiff and unnatural lack of movement to your "on-air journalist hair."
I've found that these three sprays fall perfectly in between.
