Save, Spend, Splurge: 3 of the best hairsprays that aren't Elnett

You can buy a hairspray in your local Spar, or you can order online from a fancy store. But you have to make sure it's actually good

When you think hairspray, you inevitable think L'Oreal Elnett. It's a classic, and it's a must-have; it has 100% earned its reputation. But it's not the only hairspray in the world.

These three are all very good in their own right and also deserve their 'it really works!' reputation.

Wella Shockwaves Power Hold Spray Ultra Strong €3.73 (Tesco)

Wella Shockwaves has been around for years. We think it works really well on shorter styles and it is just the thing for slick back flyaways. Good for perfecting an Ariana Grande ponytail. Spray it too liberally, and it gets a tad sticky, but, y'know, it's hairspray.

Schwarzkopf Professional Silhouette Super Hold Hairspray €7.38 (Feelunique) 

Ah, Schwarzkopf Silhouette Super Hold - the wedding hair stylist's choice. Seriously, it's a pro's staple - and not only because you can get it in a massive can, so it's totes economical. It's the Double Wear of hairspray. Use it, and your hair could withstand a hurricane.

Kerastase Fix Fabulous Extra Strong Hold Hairspray €23 (millies.ie)

An expensive hairspray has to be worth the price tag, otherwise, with the Elnetts and Shockwaves of the world, what's the point? This is worth it. Kerastase Fix Fabulous is a multi-tasking marvel, that can be used to tame and to style and to fix without a horrible feeling or residue.
