Our moms and grandmothers have always taught us that when styling your hair, hair spray is a must-have product. It's an important step in the process to make sure that each strand stays in place all day long. However, it't not necessarily a "one-size-fits-all" product.
Just like with shampoo and conditioner, the hair spray you like will depend on your hair type and what purpose you need it to serve. Whether you're looking to tame flyaways when putting your hair in a ponytail, want to keeps strands perfectly curled without being crunchy, or need to protect your hair from humidity, there's sure to be a hair spray on this list that you'll soon love.
These are the hair sprays our editors turn to to keep their styled locks looking their best all day long.
Oribe Superfine Strong Hair Spray
"I primarily use hair spray when I wear my hair straight, and I want the hair spray to prevent loads of fly-aways or static electricity in my fine hair," says Senior Digital Editor Kimberly Holland. "I love that Oribe's Superfine Strong Hair Spray gives my hair some hold and weight without making it sticky or stiff. As a bonus, it also protects my hair against UV damage, so for that alone, I should probably use it more often."
L'Oréal Paris Elnett Satin Extra Strong Hold Hairspray
Associate Digital Editor Kaitlyn Yarborough says L'oreal's Elnett Satin Hairspray is beloved for a reason. The classic formula is unscented, reliable, and easy to find.
Bumble and Bumble Spray de Mode Flexible Hold Hairspray
"For everyday, I love Bumble & Bumble's Spray de Mode," says Senior Digital Editor Brennan Long. "It's pretty flexible and it doesn't leave my hair sticky, even when it's down. It still keeps flyaways at bay, too. Best of all, I love the slightly sweet scent! I think it was one of the first luxury hair products I ever bought, so a quick spray always makes me feel a little fancy."
Kenra Professional Volume Spray 25
Southern Living Fellow Mary Alice Russell shares her grandmother's recommendation for hair spray that you can get at the drugstore or grocery store is Kenra's Volume Spray. "It leaves a light mist in your hair and holds it in place but is not stiff," she says.
Kristin Ess Ultra Fine Workable Hairspray
"I'm currently using this hair spray and while it took me a minute to get used to, I'm really liking it now," says Assistant General Manager Anna Price Olson. "I have fine, thin, and light hair so I have to brush it through to make it look natural (i.e. no visible residue) but this trusty spray keeps my hair in place all day once I do."
Living Proof Style Lab Flex Hairspray
"I love Living Proof's Style Lab Flex Hairspray because it doesn't weigh down my hair or leave a stiff texture when I use it," says Digital Editor Jenna Sims. "Although I knew hair spray was an important final step in my hair-styling routine, it took me a while to find a formula I loved enough to commit to. Plus, it offers heat protection up to 410 degrees."
Oribe Imperméable Anti-Humidity Spray
When spending time in front of the camera for video shoots outside, Southern Living Editorial Producer Ivy Odom leans on Oribe's Impermeable Anti-Humidity Finishing Spray. It helps her curls stay in place even amidst the South's sweltering humidity,
Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray Strong Finish
"This hair spray has such nice all-day hold but doesn’t leave my hair feeling crunchy or sticky," says Yarborough. "Since it’s oil-infused, it actually helps with smoothness and shine too. Plus, it doesn’t smell anywhere near as strongly as other hairsprays I’ve used."
