Easy to use and suitable for all hair types, whether you want your hair to have a soft and sleek finish, XXL control or added shine, there’s a hairspray out there for everyone.

The perfect tool for experimentation, hairsprays are every professional’s go-to and luckily Schwarzkopf has an impressive eight to choose from! Smoothing down flyaways, keeping volume and bounce in tact or ensuring topknots and ponytails stay looking slick, it doesn’t matter if they’re backstage at Fashion Week, tending to A-listers or creating looks on their clients, you’ll always find a can of hairspray tucked under their arm or in their back pocket. Fact. They’re also an amazing product to have at home. Not just for adding hold before a night out (although they’re excellent for that too), they’re perfect for a quick touch-up before a last minute zoom call and if you’ve been bored through lockdown and found some new styles to experiment with, hairsprays will ensure that they don’t fall apart the moment you move your head or step outside! And, even if you do mess up, you can just brush it out and start again (depending on the hold of course). Braids, buns, curls, quiffs, you name it, hairspray has got your back.

How to choose a hairspray:

The best way to pick your hairspray is to consider a) your hair type - for example thick hair will need more hold than fine hair, b) your style - do you want maximum hold or just a light mist to protect your look and c) what finish do you want - matte or glossy. That’s why it’s also advisable to have more than one option to hand - the lipstick of the hairstyling world, think of it as the finishing touch, decided by your mood, your style and your day, or night, ahead!

As a helping hand, here’s a breakdown of all our hairsprays so you can pick and choose your canister with confidence…
