As someone who frequently experienced the frustration of meticulously styled bangs collapsing with just a gust of wind, I was eager to find a product with truly satisfying fixing power, and this one precisely met that need. The first advantage is undoubtedly its 'overwhelming hold'. Just one spray keeps your hair in place, resistant even to wind. It's particularly excellent for taming bangs and flyaways. When I spray it after curling my bangs in the morning, the style stays intact all day without any touch-ups. The hold doesn't weaken even in rainy or humid weather, making it highly recommended for summer when hair is most affected by the elements. Secondly, it provides a fresh finish without stickiness. Many strong-hold sprays tend to make hair stiff or leave white residue, but this product feels natural right after spraying. I love that it doesn't make your hair feel rigid or clumpy when touched. Its texture, while providing strong fixing power, doesn't compromise on a natural feel, making it suitable for daily use. The third point is its mild fragrance. Sprays with overpowering scents can cause headaches and clash with other fragrances or products, but this one has a subtle, clean, slightly powdery scent that doesn't interfere with your overall styling. Fourth is its spray power that covers a wide area in one go. The nozzle distributes the product evenly, allowing for consistent application across the entire head without clumping. This makes it great for layering multiple thin coats. You can amplify the hold by spraying, blow-drying, and repeating the process. The product also offers good value for money with its generous volume, lasting several months with regular use. After seeing reviews that it's used in salons, I had high expectations, and it truly delivers professional-quality results.
ConsThe first drawback is the difficulty in washing it out. While its all-day hold is a plus, it doesn't rinse out completely with just water when washing your hair in the evening. Especially if you've applied multiple layers, the sprayed areas can feel stiff, requiring thorough shampooing at least twice for complete removal. If any residue remains when drying, it can make your hair feel dry and brittle. Secondly, it might be slightly irritating for sensitive scalps. While I don't have particularly sensitive skin, I occasionally felt itching or irritation when frequently using this product near the roots of my bangs. Especially when sprayed too close, it can cause a feeling of congestion as the mist enters the pores, so it's necessary to adjust the spraying distance. Third, the smell can be strong when used indoors. Although the product's scent itself is subtle, the large amount sprayed and its fine particle form can cause throat irritation or coughing in enclosed spaces. It's essential to ventilate the area after use and be careful not to spray too close to your face. Lastly, it's challenging to control the exact amount dispensed. While it sprays like a mist, pressing the nozzle once covers a wider area than expected, making it difficult to apply small amounts. This often results in overshooting when trying to spray just a small area like bangs.
TipMoreover, while the fragrance itself is subtle, people with sensitivities might find the characteristic spray smell slightly irritating immediately after application. When using indoors, it's crucial to open a window or take care not to spray on clothes.
