As the final step in Clinique’s simple, minimalist system of hair care and styling, this pump action bottle, sprays out a fine mist which doesn’t set your hair like a rock, and doesn’t add to the depletion of the ozone layer either! Hold the bottle a couple of inches away from the hair and comb through before styling for a gentle, flexible hold.
Packed with the vaguely nostalgic scent of our teenage years, Aveda’s Witch Hazel hairspray is another non-aerosol offering. The refreshing smell is coupled with a medium hold finish; that unlike so many other pump action hairsprays is never gooey, sticky or flaky.
Even though Toni & Guy salons have replaced the TIGI range with the newer, more grown up Label.M collection, we’re still totally hooked on the punky packaging, kitsch names and gorgeous smells of its predecessor. The best thing about this product is it’s a shine spray and hairspray combined – two jobs in one!
Price: £6.55

The Paul Mitchell range has well and truly earned its reputation for coming up with effective and trustworthy products. And whilst the range may sometimes seem a little pricey, this really is our all time fave hairspray – it even contains sunscreen, so what more could you ask for!
Your mum, your nan, your sister, your best friend – this classic hairspray has probably graced the dressing tables of nearly all your female counterparts at one point. The reason it’s been around so long? It’s fab! It’s been adding shine and conditioning AND holding our hair for decades. Its popularity shows no sign of slowing down.
This dinky handbag friendly spray not only smells like a treat but is one of the best for achieving a firm hold on your curls without setting your hair like a rock. Available only at Space NK, it’s just one more excuse to take a trip to our favourite beauty boutique (as if we needed one).
From the kings of hair straighteners comes this fab GHD Dry Hair spray which is one of the quickest drying sprays around. Remember not to go overboard – the old mantra ‘less is more’ really does apply here.
The whole polished glamour look seriously doesn’t work if you’re suffering from an attack of frizzy, unruly hair. Environmentally angelic brand Origins have produced this lightweight taming hairspray that sends flyaway hairs packing whilst still allowing the hair natural movement.
While the Fish Soho salons have been churning out men’s hair products for eons, the Angelfish range for us ladies was only launched in October. This aerosol-free fixing spray has already impressed us with its firm hold capabilities and its divine coconut smell.
Just like their industrial-sized shampoo bottle, this rather generous helping of hair spray from Tresemme offers a much better result than its rather cheap price would suggest. Use it sparingly and it’ll hold your locks in place without any kind of stickiness or build-up.
