Glamour commerce writer Alanna Martine Kilkeary who has fine hair says she found the spray held up particularly well in humidity. “R+Co wasn’t messing around when they launched this potent hairspray. It’s really intense, so a little goes a long way, but I was pretty impressed with how well it held up after a sweaty day walking around the city,” she says.“My hair was mostly flyaway-free and it didn’t leave any residue behind or weigh my hair down. Instead, it kept it looking smooth, velvety, and in place.”
How to use: As Nino mentioned, it’s easy to layer on, so even if you use this in the morning, but want to change your look at night, simply brush through and restyle, spraying more once your new look is complete.

This is Aguirre’s pick for a lightweight hairspray that doubles as a heat protectant. But, that’s not all—it also provides UV protection to prevent your color from being affected by the sun. Plus, humidity protection and frizz control, so this is a good option for summer styling. And because curls are more frizz-prone—whether natural or achieved with hot tools—this hydrating mist boosts moisture, leaving waves looking their shiniest, bounciest, and smoothest.
“I normally have it my hair in a bun during the week because it’s so time-consuming to style my hair, but when I do style it I use this hairspray to hold my waves. I use the T3 multi-styler and spray each section as I go. My waves are able to last for three entire work days, and that’s a win for me,” says Glamour’s Calle.
How to use: Spray from 10-12 inches away on dry or towel-dried hair. For additional volume and texture, use your fingers to work the product into your hair. The brand also suggests spraying each strand ahead of heat styling for longer-lasting curls. Once hair cools, brush through curls from root to tip for smooth, shiny bends that’ll last.

You know those hot, muggy days that have you rethink whether you should even step foot outdoors because the weather is undoubtedly going to ruin your hairstyle? Well, Nino says this is your answer: “It’s weightless, invisible, and keeps frizz away.” Not only does it fight frizz, but it acts as a heat protectant, too, so if you regularly use a curling iron or flat iron, this is a great multitasking hairspray to have in your rotation.
“This pick held up nicely on an 80 degree day in NYC, when I was hanging outside walking through the West Village and grabbing drinks,” says Glamour’s Kilkeary. “My hair didn’t look greasy (which it often does after I expose it to the outside world in those conditions), instead it stayed fresh and looked and felt smooth to the touch.”
