Hi guys,

I'm looking for a mousse and a hairspray.

For hairspray I'm looking for one that will hold my hair in place (obv...:p) but not go "crispy" or "hard".

So far I've tried these, and don't like any of them, because they all go "crispy" and "hard" which I hate.

It wasn't this pantene one, but another one in the same/similar can http://www.boots.ie/en/Pantene-Pro-v-Perfect-Volume-lightweight-Hairspray-300ml-Hold-Level-5_1244652/ this VO5 one http://cdn.expatsgrocery.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/953x/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/6/0/60636_4.1405600780.jpg and various Elnett ones.

Have also used this mousse which was alright, I didn't notice that it did anything to be honest, so I'd rather try something else.

I'm open to all suggestions, would prefer stuff that could be got in Boots though as I've a few points to use!

Thanks in advance for any recommendations and suggestions!

If you're looking for a volumizing mousse, I've always found the Toni and Guy one that you get in Boots to be the best. And I have tried pretty much every volumizing mousse that you can get in Boots!

if you find elnett "crispy" then you're out of luck i would imagine. it is the lightest hairspray you can get and it can be brushed out! how do you think your hair would be held together without the spray setting? :P are you using too much? you only need a light haze imo

Thanks for your replies and recommendations.

@ we'llallhavetea - I honestly don't know what it is, I know obviously the hairspray has to set, and I can cope with some crispiness but the Elnett sets my hair to the point where my hair is "hard". Does that make sense? Its like my hair sets and I can't brush through it and I can't run my fingers through it because the hair is stuck together in clumps almost. Its really odd tbh.


I only use a tiny amount and always, always hold the can at arms length from my hair when spraying it.

I know my hairdresser uses some hair spray that doesn't go half as crispy as the Elnett one, but its around €30 a pop:eek:, no way am I paying that for a hair spray, not a living chance of it.:o

do you know the name of the brand? Could be bought cheaper in in a trade store

I think Treseme (level 4 or 5) is the best hairspray out there. definately doesn't go hard or look hard and keeps the hair in place!:-)
