There’s a very particular kind of hairspray we all remember from evenings spent getting ready for nights out with friends. It’s the sort of hairspray that leaves your hair crisp to the touch, stuck in place like a laminated poster. Thankfully, this isn’t that. Hair by Sam McKnight Modern Hair Spray Modern Hairspray is everything its predecessors weren’t – flexible, sophisticated, and ever so chic.
A true multi-tasker, this award winning mist works just as beautifully when sprayed into roots for volume as it does misted through lengths for texture or a finished, glossy hold. The finish is impressive… sleek but never stiff, touchably soft yet reliably set. It’s the rare hairspray that plays nice with hot tools but you can spritz it in your hair before straightening or curling and it holds the shape without the dreaded crunch or stickiness.
What I particularly admire is the formula’s brushability. If you’re not happy with your style, you can simply comb it out and start again. Ideal if, like me, your styling goes wrong or you change your mind halfway through blow drying. For anyone worried about dry, brittle ends, rest assured this mist is light as air and leaves hair feeling healthy.
Then there’s the scent. Created with Perfumer H, it’s unlike anything else I’ve encountered in a styling product. Inspired by Sam’s own garden after rainfall, to me, it’s softly green, a little woody, gently floral. It smells realisticly of an English Garden, smells clean, and is utterly addictive. It elevates the entire experience to something quietly luxurious.
It’s suitable for all hair types and textures, and a great workhorse that performs, helping you curl, tame, shine, hold, and redo as many times as needed.
Hair by Sam McKnight Modern Hair Spray works great on styling my short hair without the need for a separate styling product. And I love that it’s available in a travel size so you can pop in your bag and never be without it.
