This hairspray does the opposite of weather control. It makes my hair stiff and frizzy. Bring back Bold Conrol and get rid of this.

Hate the New Version

2 days ago

I was a happy, loyal, longtime user until the recent formula change. The new “Humidity Control” version that is made in Canada is nothing like the old “Weather Control” version. Please, please go back to the alcohol-based product. The water-based formula is useless. How can spray guard against the ill effects of humidity by adding more water to your hairstyle? Doesn’t make sense to me.

Would you purchase this again:No

Awful

3 days ago

I was purchasing mine of Amazon. I blasted them thinking the seller was putting water in it as I purchased several cans and it continued. Than I purchased in a store same thing water which makes my hair look wet after it dries plus I cannot even get a brush through it. I ended up throwing them all away. I kept thinking I had just got a bad batch. Hate to know how many cans I bought and threw away,

Big mistake!

3 days ago

I, like everyone else, is extremely disappointed that our most loved hairspray has been ruined. I noticed the change during a deep freeze we had here in PA and I thought maybe the temperatures were ruining the arriving stock. 3 cans later and the reviews online tells me that you changed the formula and you made a big mistake. PLEASE return to the original formula. This product is unusable now because it basically blows white foam on your hair and the nozzle is constantly clogged. Why in the world would you release this????

Humidity Control is NOT the same as WeatherControl

3 days ago

The Lock It Weather Control was my all-time favorite hairspray. "WAS". I live in a very hot, humid climate, and this was the only hairspray that held my hairstyle without feeling sticky or heavy. After being unable to find Weather Control, the Humidity Control was my only option. Surely it's the same great product, right? WRONG. It is HORRIBLE. The spray is clumpy and leaves drops on your hair. It does not hold, even for 30 minutes. So sad and disappointed. Please go back to the Weather Control formula.

Once great product is now HORRIBLE

5 days ago

This was my favorite hairspray for YEARS, and it’s been ruined. The new formula is horrible. It sprays out in a wet sloppy mess ruining my hair after I’ve blown it out. I’ve bought 8 cans thinking I just had a bad “batch” and each can has been awful. I’m so disappointed and I’ve stopped spending money on this product. L’Oréal also changed my favorite hair color formula and that’s horrible now as well. Do better L’Oréal!

Awful! Once my absolute favorite... its a shame

Thank goodness I am not the only one! I thought I was going crazy buying different bottles of this hairspray from different locations, hoping to find my good bottle again! Apparently they changed something and its awful! I have been using this for years...years... and now I am scrambling to find a hairspray that actually holds! Why would you change anything to this perfect formula and bottle? Spray gets clogged, soaks hair, is horribly sticky, clumpy...its just awful now! Please go back to the original and LABEL the new bottles with original formula or something! So disappointed... bye Loreal...need to find something that holds ... this doesn't anymore. You ruined a perfect product...

Hi Lilblondie12874, we hear you loud and clear, and we want to apologize for the frustration and disappointment this has caused you! It is so incredibly hard when a product that was absolutely perfect for your hair gets changed, leaving you scrambling to find a replacement. You shouldn’t have to deal with a clogged nozzle, sticky clumps, or a spray that wet-soaks your style instead of keeping it perfectly in place. Your feedback is incredibly valuable to us, and we are escalating your comments directly to our quality control and formulation teams so they know exactly how much the original formula and spray nozzle are missed. If you would like to speak to us directly about your recent purchase, give us a call @ 800-631-7358 9 AM to 5:30 PM ET M – F

So disappointed in the change in formula

8 days ago

I’ve been an avid user and recommender of this hairspray for years after discovering how well it worked in humid Florida. The change in formula has left my friends and I devastated. The spray now comes out in wet clumps and completely ruins my finished hair. I’ll be returning 8 bottles today. I thought it might have been a defect but it’s definitely a change in formula.

Great FIRST impressions. Not lately.

10 days ago

I have used the Lock It hair spray for quite a while and have loved it. The last three cans I have purchased, all from different retailers, have changed from a great holding fine mist to an uncontrolled thick spray of globs of hair spray. It goes everywhere from the walls to the floor of the bathroom as well as all over my clothes. Has the nozzle been changed? The last 3 cans I purchased have all gone into the trashcan, unused. Please tell me that they were all faulty nozzles and that the hairspray will return to the great quality that I have previously purchased in the past.

What did you do too the formula?

10 days ago

I have been using this product for years and have loved it! I have very fine hair and the anti-humidity spray has been perfect for my hair. The past two or three bottles I thought were defective. The nozzle seemed to have sprayed all over the place and it was like spraying water on my hair. It weighed my style almost flat. I am so disappointed in L’Oréal for changing the formula and neglecting to label it as such on the bottles. Labeling it would have prevented me from purchasing three different bottles of the same formula. Ì will be looking for a replacement.

Hairspray was great until they changed the formula

10 days ago

I absolutely loved this hairspray until something changed. At first, I thought I had received a defective can with a faulty nozzle, so I purchased another one. Unfortunately, the second can had the exact same issue. Instead of the fine mist it used to deliver, it now sprays out far too much product at once. The spray goes all over my shoulders and leaves everything feeling sticky. The liquid foams up in the little hole when you spray it. This obviously wasn't tested. The formula and application were perfect before, which is why I'm so disappointed. Why change something that worked so well? I've now wasted money on two cans and am left searching for a replacement. Please change it back!!!!!

Hate the new formula!

I'm just going to pile on to the many other reviews that are complaining about the new formula. I have been using this product for years and loved it! When I first use the new can, I thought it was the nozzle, but I still had my old can and switched to the old one I knew worked. Still the spray was too wet and left visible droplets all over my hair, face, arms, and shoulders. Yuck! I will not buy this again until I see something on front of pack that says this is back to the original formula. You obviously didn't do any home use testing with this new formulation.

Used to be The Best!

21 days ago

This used to be my favorite hairspray. The spray now comes out as a hose. It is not misting, it is drenching my hair. I currently have seven brand new bottles sitting in my closet because I kept buying new bottles thinking there was a manufacturing issue. Nope. Every can will be going in the trash because wet sticky hair is not okay. This used to be a miracle product. No longer. Please bring back the old formula or can! Thank you!

Change in formula

22 days ago

There has been a recent change to this product, making it now horrible to use. The nozzle gushes out. The hairspray is much heavier and thicker and weighs your hair down. The new nozzle also sprays and burst leaving bubble remnants all over your hair. Not happy with this change at all. Will no longer buy this product unless it’s changed back to the original.

product has changed for the worse

I have been buying this product for years and loved it. I now have 2 cans at home that seems like it is just spraying water out. I don't know what to do with it, it is horrible. I didn't mind paying the price for it when it worked, now it is horrible!! Is there a way of getting my money back since there is $20 of product that I cant use? Very disappointed.

Aqua/Water as first ingredient is horrible!

28 days ago

I’ve used your Lock It hair spray for years! There used to be “Weather” Control and “Humidity” Control Hair Spray. I normally buy them from Walmart. Walmart advertises online they have “Weather” Control but what you actually get it is “Humidity” Control. I just happen to have several cans of “Humidity” Control (because I stock up and have returned at least 4 cans back to Walmart because the spray is so thick, stiff and sticky). The difference between the two is the “Weather” Control’s first ingredient is Alcohol Denat. and the first ingredient in “Humidity” Control is Aqua/Water/Eau. The “Humidity” Control is HORRIBLE! The spray is so think it leaves white clumps in my hair till it drys. My tile flooring is left with spots of hair spray and my rug is sticky & wet. PLEASE, PLEASE go back to the old formula! I have a few other brands of hair spray and none of them have Aqua/Water as their first ingredient. I am currently looking for a new strong hold air spray to use till L’Oréal changes back to their original ingredients.

What changed with this hairspray? I’ve used it for 8-10 years and all of a sudden it went from a fine mist to a heavy wet spray. My hair is fine, this has been my go-to hairspray. I’m extremely disappointed and can’t use it anymore.

Rated 1 out of 5 by teamropingal from Humidity Control is NOT the same as WeatherControl The Lock It Weather Control was my all-time favorite hairspray. "WAS". I live in a very hot, humid climate, and this was the only hairspray that held my hairstyle without feeling sticky or heavy. After being unable to find Weather Control, the Humidity Control was my only option. Surely it's the same great product, right? WRONG. It is HORRIBLE. The spray is clumpy and leaves drops on your hair. It does not hold, even for 30 minutes. So sad and disappointed. Please go back to the Weather Control formula.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Anonymous from Great FIRST impressions. Not lately. I have used the Lock It hair spray for quite a while and have loved it. The last three cans I have purchased, all from different retailers, have changed from a great holding fine mist to an uncontrolled thick spray of globs of hair spray. It goes everywhere from the walls to the floor of the bathroom as well as all over my clothes. Has the nozzle been changed? The last 3 cans I purchased have all gone into the trashcan, unused. Please tell me that they were all faulty nozzles and that the hairspray will return to the great quality that I have previously purchased in the past.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Cher from Hairspray was great until they changed the formula I absolutely loved this hairspray until something changed. At first, I thought I had received a defective can with a faulty nozzle, so I purchased another one. Unfortunately, the second can had the exact same issue. Instead of the fine mist it used to deliver, it now sprays out far too much product at once. The spray goes all over my shoulders and leaves everything feeling sticky. The liquid foams up in the little hole when you spray it. This obviously wasn't tested. The formula and application were perfect before, which is why I'm so disappointed. Why change something that worked so well? I've now wasted money on two cans and am left searching for a replacement. Please change it back!!!!!

Still the spray was too wet and left visible droplets all over my hair, face, arms, and shoulders. Yuck! I will not buy this again until I see something on front of pack that says this is back to the original formula. You obviously didn't do any home use testing with this new formulation.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Bwells85 from Aqua/Water as first ingredient is horrible! I’ve used your Lock It hair spray for years! There used to be “Weather” Control and “Humidity” Control Hair Spray. I normally buy them from Walmart. Walmart advertises online they have “Weather” Control but what you actually get it is “Humidity” Control. I just happen to have several cans of “Humidity” Control (because I stock up and have returned at least 4 cans back to Walmart because the spray is so thick, stiff and sticky). The difference between the two is the “Weather” Control’s first ingredient is Alcohol Denat. and the first ingredient in “Humidity” Control is Aqua/Water/Eau. The “Humidity” Control is HORRIBLE! The spray is so think it leaves white clumps in my hair till it drys. My tile flooring is left with spots of hair spray and my rug is sticky & wet. PLEASE, PLEASE go back to the old formula! I have a few other brands of hair spray and none of them have Aqua/Water as their first ingredient. I am currently looking for a new strong hold air spray to use till L’Oréal changes back to their original ingredients.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Flower27 from Terrible wet new formula We used this hairspray for years but they've changed the formula! It comes out like a fire hose and it leaves your hair wet and it's really bad now. It went from being a great hairspray to a terrible hairspray. Do not buy

Rated 1 out of 5 by Mellie from HORRIBLE NEW FORMULA GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL FORMULA!!! This formula is HORRIBLE- it doesn’t hold AT ALL. Unless you change it back I WILL NOT BE BUYING IT AGAIN. I have a whole bottle that I am throwing away now- and I have my daughters college graduation to go to- and now I have to find a replacement in an hours time. Thanks

Rated 1 out of 5 by Angie from What Changed? I’ve been using your hairspray for years and loved it until recently. I’m not sure if the issue is with the nozzle or the formula itself, but something seems different. Sometimes it sprays normally, but other times it comes out in a straight stream and leaves wet spots on my hair. My hair also ends up feeling hard and sticky instead of the finish I used to get. At first, I thought I had just purchased one defective can, but I currently have four cans sitting on my vanity that all seem to have the same issue. I purchased them from both Target and Amazon, so it doesn’t appear to be related to one retailer. Can you please let me know if the formula or nozzle design has changed recently? I really don’t want to switch brands because I’ve been loyal to your product for years, but I also can’t keep wasting money on products that aren’t working properly.

Rated 1 out of 5 by AmyF from Clogged from the start!!! to begin with, the second or third time I used this can, it clogged. now it sprays in clomps -- big drops of hairspray and not even at all. -- So, I'm stuck with pretty much a full can of hairspray that I can't use. I'll set it aside for a few days, thinking it will get better, then as soon as I spray it, I remember.... crap! When the spray did work ok, the stuff gets my hair so plastered, so when I comb it, it breaks.... I will not be recommending this at all

Lock It Weather Control Hairspray Reviews - page 3

Rated 1 out of 5 by Lock It Hairspray from Loreal Lock It Hairspray Gone Bad I concur with all of the recent posts in regards to this hairspray. I have used it for years and always loved to finalize my hairstyle with this product. It was previously a very fine mist that would finish the style off nicely. However, the product now comes out like a water hose, leaving my hair wet in nature, with tiny beads of liquid showering all over my hair. In fact, it literally gets not only my hair wet, but my skin, clothes, etc. In addition once it dries, it feels like my hair has been glued down, very stiff and heavy. Please, please, please bring back the old formula. For now, I have found that Garnier Fructis Style Full Control Hairspray 24H Hold - Anti-Humidity - Bounce Back Hold - Ultra Strong Hold 4 in the green can will be my go to. I always liked Loreal's Lock It better for the final style, but not until the formula changes. I too have tried three different cans, thinking that surely the can I purchased was defective, but have had to return all three and what a disappointment and hassle!

Rated 1 out of 5 by April18 from Not the same product I’ve been using for years! I don’t know what has happened to my favorite hair spray!! I have used this hairspray for years. It has been difficult to find some times, but I love it and go search for it. I have bought 3 cans over the last week trying to figure out if something was wrong with the can I had purchased. All 3 cans were the same! Very wet and heavy! I am going to have to switch and I’ve wasted $20! Very disappointed!

Rated 1 out of 5 by patie from Broken sprayer I ordered 3 cans of hairspray from Amazon. I still had a can that I was using, so I didn't know they were defective until after the 30 day return period. So now I have 3 cans that don't spray, they just fizzle at the nozzle. You lost a long time customer! I will never buy this hairspray again!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Collette6369 from Unnecessary formula change. I have been using this hairpray for years and i was so happy to find a spray that would hold my fine hair. I have been having problems with the spray coming out in big globs, ruining my hairstyle. I am really frustrated because I learned of the formula change through a google search. Nothing was mentioned to me at all when I emailed L'Oreal to notify them of what i thought was faulty propellant or a bad production batch. Back to the drawing board to find a decent hairspray, as I wont be wasting any more money on this product.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Kay1 from Terrible product Evidently, this product has been replaced with the humidity control hairspray. Probably the worst hairspray I've ever used. I've used the weather control for years and loved it, but this hairspray comes out in wet drops. I guess I will have to change to a different brand as this is not even usable. I've tried three different cans and have had to return all three. What a disappointment.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Barkelsam from Why change a good thing? I thought I had finally found my go-to hairspray after my long time favorite was discontinued. I only got to use 2 cans before either the spray nozzle or formula was changed. Instead of a fine mist, it now comes out like a fire extinguisher. It's sticky and gets all over everything, and makes it difficult to have the hairstyle you started with before spraying.

Rated 1 out of 5 by 34me from Humidity Control is horrible! I have used Lock It Weather Control for years & love it. I recently bought 2 cans (I thought the first had a damaged nozzle.) of Lock It Humidity without realizing that you renamed it & changed the formula. The new stuff is horrible! Instead of a fine mist it is like white foam or mousse. It goes everywhere. It’s heavy and the minute it touches my hair, it goes flat. I can’t imagine what testers thought this was good. Please bring back the original Weather Control. Sadly, I’m already searching for a new hairspray.

Until I saw these reviews I found out I wasn’t alone. The spray is terrible, it just spits large bubbles of hairspray all over my head. It leaves my hair too wet and heavy. I first bought it because it worked so well, I won’t buy it again.

But you changed something, the last three can I got is wet and sticky, I thought it was the straying top with the first one, but when the second and third was just the same. Please change back or lose many customers! After reading these reviews seems like everyone is having these issues and are not happy about it!

Rated 1 out of 5 by BDM26 from Change it back! I used to use this all the time and loved it. Recently bought a can and noticed how wet it felt. Looked at 1st ingredient. WATER? Are you kidding me? You cannot call this anti humidity hairspray and add water as 1st ingredient. Need to take a page out of Aussie Instant Freeze book and change it back. They found out the hard way just like you will. Stop messing with something that works! This can will be going back to Walmart today in exchange for the Aussie once again.

The replacement, humidity control is absolutely horrible. The spray is like a watery mist that does nothing but wet your hair and mat it down. It is nothing like the other spray and I will now have to find another brand to purchase. I loved the weather control but you can keep your rain soaked humidity spary. Please bring it back!!!

Rated 1 out of 5 by BobR from Formula change is a big miss. No longer usable We have used this product for years and recently I bought a can and the spray came out heavy and in small globs. I returned it to the store and got another can. Same problem with each new can. I called L'oreal and asked if there was a formula change in the product which they confirmed. We will not be buying this product any more. Our house went through 3 cans a month. I'm not trying to over complain but I wonder if it was even tested against the old product. So wet and heavy I don't know how one would use it.

Rated 1 out of 5 by jj828 from New formulation is the WORST! The Lock It Weather Control, my fave for many years, has been replaced with Lock IT HUMIDITY control which basically changed a wonderful styling product into silly string. The new name and formulation now sprays an often clogged up and poorly directed spray of very wet, goopy, stinky (even the scent has been changed), uneven stream of useless product. Then it leaves one with sticky, gummy, and crunchy hair with NO HOLD. I think they had to try hard to make a product this bad and replace/relable one that was so nice! WHY?!?!?!?!?!

It’s spraying to hard and actually foaming as it shoots out. I have been a loyal customer for years and love this hairspray but not anymore. Had to switch to a different brand as the spray nozzle sucks.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Jessica from A disaster of a change I’ve already spoken with an agent about this issue, but wanted to add my voice here and echo what everyone else is saying: the former product was the best hairspray I’ve ever used and this new formulation is the absolute worst. Heavy, wet-like-water, gets all over my clothes, and does not control anything. Please let me know if the old formulation is coming back!!!

Rated 1 out of 5 by CC55 from DON'T BUY ---Worst spray EVER! I have been using this spray for years and just now started having issues with it so................I came on the site to email to customer service regarding the Loreal Lock it hairspray; however, once I started reading the reviews, I realized that it was not just the new cans I have gotten. The 1st can I bought I thought for sure was a defective nozzle so I had my husband replace the nozzle from the "old" can I had just finished but that didn't seem to solve the problem. The spray just came out feeling like I was getting a shower, bubbled up at the nozzle and made me feel like I needed to wash my hair again after styling it and spraying with this hairspray. I was giving it the benefit of the doubt and bought a 2nd can and have the same issue. The previous formula was better than any spray I could get from my hairdresser. My hair is very hard to hold in place and this is the only spray I have found to hold it in place without weighing it down but I will be on the lookout for a new hairspray now. I've only spent $18.00 but I am extremely disappointed to have to be on the search for a new spray. I agree with a previous comment.... If I could give ZERO stars I would. This formula is truly awful and I feel I could probably buy spray at a Dollar Tree or Dollar General store and get a better spray. If the formula is not changed back I am sure there will be many customers looking for better options. So sad to see a company change a product that worked so well to one that is as awful as this one is now to (I'm sure) to plump up the company's bottom line.

Questions

Michy

What changed with this hairspray? I’ve used it for 8-10 years and all of a sudden it went from a fine mist to a heavy wet spray. My hair is fine, this has been my go-to hairspray. I’m extremely disappointed and can’t use it anymore.

Elizabeth

What has happened to your quality control? I've bought this hairspray for years, now suddenly it has a weird fragrance and there's an issue with the nozzle. It sprays upwards in a glop. I bought two bottles from different stores and it's the same for both

Lisa

I have used this hairspray for years and in the last month I have bought 4 cans and all of them just leave my hair wet. What is going on and how can I get my money back? So disappointed

Very disappointed

Why did you change this hairspray? It was my 'go to' for years. I have very thin, super fine hair and now this new formula is AWFUL on my hair. I will have to search for a different hair spray now. Please change it back

Carolyn

Why did you change the formula of the lock it hairspray! It’s awful no hold it’s wet and doesn’t work. Im so mad

Sue G

Why change the name to humidity control and first ingredient is water. This does not work at all. I started using this weather control after my brand switched formulas to water as the first ingredient. Now I have to find another hairspray.

Carol 27

What size does this can come in??

Did you recently make a change to LOCK IT Weather Control Hairspray? This morning, I started using a new can and it has a different smell similar to a moroccan oil. It is making my head itch.
