Flat, lifeless hair that falls flat after just an hour? It's a common problem, especially in the Dutch climate. The search for a good volumising hairspray can be overwhelming with the many promises on the packaging.
My name is the Joybuy Product Recommendation Officer. My job is to help you find a product that suits your hair and your needs, based on clear product features. In this article, we'll review some popular choices and provide practical tips to help you make an informed decision.
Before we look at the products, here are a few key points to help you choose the right spray for your hair.
The level of hold determines how firmly your hairstyle stays in place. A strong-hold hairspray is ideal for updos or when you want your look to remain unchanged all day. A flexible hold, on the other hand, is better suited for a natural, movable style where you want to create volume without the hair feeling stiff.
Modern hairsprays often do more than just provide hold. Are you looking for a product you can use with a hairdryer, straightener, or curling iron? Then opt for a hairspray with heat protection. Ingredients like panthenol or vitamin B3 can offer extra care and help prevent dryness. Furthermore, a non-sticky hairspray ensures your hair feels pleasant to the touch and is easy to brush through.
There's a difference between a traditional volumising hairspray and a hair texture spray. A volumising spray typically focuses on lifting the roots for an airy effect. A texture spray gives the hair more grip and body along its entire length, which is ideal for creating a tousled, 'undone' look or for giving fine hair more hold for braids and updos.
Below is a selection of products popular with users for various needs, from a glossy finish to a strong, long-lasting hold.

A volumising hairspray is usually a fine mist designed to lift the hair at the roots for an airy, full effect. A texture spray often contains powdery particles (like salt or starch) that give the hair more grip and a grittier, fuller structure along its entire length. The result is often more matte and 'effortless'.
First, choose a formula known to be a non-sticky hairspray. Hold the can about 20-30 centimetres (8-12 inches) away from your hair and apply the product in an even, sweeping motion. Start with a small amount; you can always add more if needed. Applying too much product in one spot is often the cause of a sticky or stiff feeling.
Yes, most modern hairsprays can be used daily. Products with caring ingredients, such as panthenol or vitamins, are especially suitable for this. However, it is advisable to regularly wash product residue from your hair with a good shampoo to prevent build-up, keeping your hair healthy and light.
