Your hairstyle can make or break your outfit, so carving out time to perfect it is worth every second—until it loses its shape the moment you step outside. That’s where hairspray becomes essential: It controls frizz, tames flyaways, polishes your hair’s appearance, and, most importantly, preserves the results of your hard work.
Additionally, it can protect your hair from humidity and keep your ‘do looking fresh, no matter the weather. With that, we asked five hairstylists for their favorite strong-hold hairsprays.
The Best Strong-Hold Hairsprays, According to Hairstylists
Lourd Ramos
Being in the industry for 25 years now, Lourd has tried and tested countless hair products. A consistent standout in his kit is the Tresemmé Pro Lock Tech Extra Hold Hairspray, which keeps the hair locked yet moveable. Lourd explained, “You can style it again without the ‘flakes.’”
Myckee Arcano
Myckee mentioned that he has hairsprays from Tresemmé in his rotation as well, accompanied by the Gatsby Pomade Spray. “It has a defining hold and can be humidity-friendly,” Myckee tells Preview. It's easy to wash off after a long day, too.
Carlo Roblico
The internet is raving about the Butterfly Shadow Hair Setting Spray (some even claim that it can hold a hairstyle for up to 24 hours), and Carlo gives it the hairstylist seal of approval. He shared, “It really locks the style in place without making the hair feel stiff or sticky. It’s also super reliable for shoots and events.”
Bryan Eusebio
The Schwarzkopf Silhouette Hairspray earned its place in Bryan's hairstyling kit because of “its strong hold power that doesn't have a white cast or product buildup even after rebrushing the curls or waves for retouch or resetting the hair style.” He added that it works great on pulled-back hairstyles too such as a sleek ponytail or bun.
And if you find the chance to step out of the country, the Got2B Glued Blasting Freeze Hairspray is “another favorite” too. Its extreme hold applies regardless of hairstyle.
Dale Mallari
“I've tried a lot of different hairsprays,” Dale tells Preview, “but if we are talking about 'strong-hold,' the Kenra Finishing Spray stood out to me.” True enough, its maximum hold stays all day, and it provides high shine, too. Not to mention, its humidity-resistant properties work well in Philippine weather.
