Best Humidity Control Hairsprays
In hot summer heat – especially if you live in a region that is particularly humid – it can be hard to hold a hairstyle all day long. Humidity control hairspray can be the answer, but which ones actually work and won’t add too much product buildup to your hair?
Right now I am sporting a short bob with added human hair extensions, so it is especially necessary for me to use humidity blocking hairspray that is not only healthy for my natural hair, but also won’t ruin my extensions prematurely.
Remember that if you wear hair extensions to wash them regularly, and especially often if you use hairsprays or other unnatural hair care products.
Below are three of my favorite humidity control hairsprays at ranging price points to fit your budget and hair control needs.
TREsemme 24 Hour Body Finishing Spray – $8
TREsemme is one of my favorite drugstore and mass market hair care lines because it is affordable and also suitable for most hair types, including African-American hair. The great thing about 24 Hour Body hairspray is that the mist is fine and even and never leaves your hair feeling sticky, brittle, or flat. This is a great, basic hairspray that won’t leave you disappointed if, say, you need to stop in and grab a can during vacation or during your lunchbreak at work to save your hairstyle.
Living Proof Hold Flexible Hairspray – $14
Living Proof haircare is a relatively new haircare line to hit the market and is available at Sephora. Hold Flexible Hairspray is paraben-free, humidity-blocking, and guards against frizz and flyaways all day long. You can layer on as much of this hairspray has you need to maintain your style, but it should never leave your hair sticky or gunky. It also has a light, floral scent.
Ojon Swa+ Instant Hold Hairspray – $27
Fortified with patented Swa+ Oil, this hairspray actually infuses your strands with omega-3 and 6 essential fatty acids. The result is a perfectly sculpted style with moisturizing benefits. Swa+ hairspray provides a strong hold without weighing hair down, so a light spritz will do. Ojon’s Swa+ Hairspray also gives a subtle shine and has a musk-like scent, probably due to other exotic oil ingredients including ojon, babassu, jojoba, crambe seed, and macadamia oils. You can purchase a tall call of this from QVC.com.
