TRESemme Extra Hold Hair Spray 14.6 oz by TRESemme

Great value. This spray has great hold. I don’t need to use very much to keep my hair in place. The sprayer works well. The plastic cap was intact. Very easy to apply. I’d but it again. Not overly scented. Typical hairspray scent.

This has a nice hold-if you want a super hard hold-this is not for you. It has a smell when you spray, but it’s not bad. The smell seems to go away once it dries-it is fast drying but doesn’t seem to dry out my hair. It is easy to brush out at the end of the day. Good quality spray for the price point.

I keep coming back to this hairspray because it actually holds my hair without making it feel like I shellacked my head in 1980. It gives good hold, helps with frizz, and still lets my hair move naturally instead of turning it into a crunchy helmet. I also like that it brushes out more easily than some super heavy hairsprays. Just a solid dependable product that does what it’s supposed to do without drama.

I mainly use this for styling my bangs and slicking down pieces around my face, and it works really well for that. The hold lasts all day, even in humidity, and one thing I really appreciate is that it does not leave a noticeable white cast or flaky residue in my dark hair. It definitely gives a strong hold though, so your hair will feel crunchy and sticky after spraying. Personally, that’s exactly what I want for keeping my bangs in place, but if you prefer softer, touchable hair that you can run your fingers through, this probably is not the best option.

As a hairstylist of 26 years, this isn’t something I would personally reach for when creating today’s softer, more modern styles. It gives a very firm, stiff hold that doesn’t allow for much movement. That said, I’ve been working with more senior clients lately, and for that purpose, it works very well. If you’re looking for a strong, long-lasting hold that keeps hair in place all day, this definitely delivers. The ingredients aren’t the best, which is something to be aware of, but for the price and the level of hold you get, it’s a solid option. If you want super structured, set-in-place hair at an affordable price, this does the job.
