Hair spray is a versatile styling product primarily used to hold hairstyles in place, prevent frizz, and add volume or texture. It works by forming a fine, often invisible mist that sets the hair strands, creating a long-lasting hold.

•Hold & Definition: Hairsprays act as a hair hold spray, helping maintain the shape and structure of your style, from sleek updos to bouncy curls.

•Frizz Control: Many formulas create a protective barrier that helps to prevent humidity from causing frizz. Our Lock It Weather Control Hairspray provides frizz control and humidity resistance up to 48 hours.

•Volume & Lift: Lighter formulas or those specifically designed for volume can add body and lift at the roots. To volumize your hair with hairspray, lift sections of your hair and spray product underneath.

•Softness & Shine: Some L'Oréal Paris hair sprays can also double as a hair shine spray, such as the iconic Elnett Satin, which is renowned for providing long-lasting hold while leaving hair feeling soft and brushable with a beautiful, natural-looking shine.

To effectively use a hair spray product, hold the can 8-10 inches away from your hair and mist lightly and evenly over your desired style. This distance helps ensure an even distribution without oversaturating any one area, preventing stiffness or stickiness.

•For Hold: Mist hair spray lightly all over for a flexible hold, or focus on specific areas for stronger control.

•For Volume: Flip your head upside down and spray at the roots, then flip back up and lightly mist all over.

•For Styling: Use Elnett Hair Spray as a hair styling spray. Spray a light layer of hairspray onto a hairbrush and brush your hair for a frizz-free finish.

•Layering: For extra hold, you can apply multiple light layers instead of one heavy application.

Choosing the right hairspray depends on your desired outcome and the level of hold you need for your hairstyle. Consider the following factors:

•Level of Hold:

◯Flexible/Light Hold - Medium Hold:

Ideal for natural movement and light control, great for everyday wear. While technically a strong hold hair spray, Elnett Hair Spray can be brushed out to get a lightweight, flexible hold with frizz control.

◯Strong Hold: Essential for intricate updos, sleek styles, or when maximum control is needed. The best hairspray to hold curls and other styles is Elnett Hair Spray, which provides a locked-in style without stickiness or crunchiness, all day long.

◯Ultra-Strong/Weather-Resistant: For styles that need to withstand humidity, wind, or last all day and night, use Lock IT Weather Control Hairspray.

•Desired Outcome:

◯Shine: Some formulas, like Elnett Hair Spray, impart a glossy finish for extra radiance.

◯Frizz Control: Lock IT Weather Control Hairspray offers humidity resistance and anti-frizz benefits for up to 48 hours.

◯Color Safety: If you have color-treated hair, opt for color safe hairspray formulas, like Elnett Hair Spray, designed to protect your hair color.

Yes, hair spray can expire. Although there may not be a hard expiry date printed on the can, if you notice any changes in the scent, texture, spray ability, or hold performance, you should dispose of it safely in accordance with local regulations. The alcohol content in some hairsprays helps extend their shelf life, but we recommend replacing your hairspray product every 12 months to ensure optimal performance.

No, hairspray is not bad for your hair when used correctly and removed properly. Overuse of hairspray, especially without regular washing, can lead to product buildup on the hair and scalp, which might make hair feel stiff or dull. Use a clarifying shampoo once a week to help prevent scalp and product build up.

Tips for Using Hairspray Properly:

1.Spray it at a distance

2.Use the right hold strength for your look

3.Less is more: start with a light layer, let it dry, and only add more if needed.

Many L'Oréal Paris hair sprays are formulated not only to give strong hold but also to be gentle on your hair, helping to maintain its health and natural vitality. Elnett Strong Hold Hairspray offers a strong hold formula with a lightweight feel that you can brush out easily.

Yes, it is perfectly okay to use hairspray every day, especially if you choose the right formula and practice good hair care. Many modern hairsprays are designed to be lightweight and non-damaging to the hair.

•Benefits of Daily Use:

◯Style Maintenance: Keeps your hairstyle looking fresh and polished throughout the day.

◯Frizz Protection: Acts as a barrier against humidity, preventing frizz and flyaways.

◯Added Volume/Shine: Some formulas can enhance volume or add a healthy sheen to your hair.

◯Hair Protection: Certain hairsprays can offer a light barrier against environmental factors. Elnett Hair Spray is formulated with a UV filter to help protect hair and prevent color fading.

•Good Practice: To prevent buildup, ensure you wash your hair regularly and incorporate a clarifying shampoo once a week. L'Oréal Paris offers a range of hairsprays that provide reliable hold without making your hair feel stiff or crunchy, making them suitable for daily styling.

The most effective way to remove hair spray buildup from your hair is by using a clarifying shampoo. Clarifying shampoos are specially formulated to deep clean the hair and scalp, removing residue from styling products, oils, and environmental impurities. If you are using Elnett Satin hairspray, brush your hair before washing it to help remove the fine layer of hairspray from your hair.
