I bought this on a whim. I didn't want an aerosol bottle and have already tried and hated all pump bottle store brands. Why not try one thats better all around for me the Earth and everything in between. To say this hairspray is effective is an understatement. I wear my hair in a short pompadour style, I have ditched many other hair products for this hairspray. It holds, it’s not sticky and it doesn't smell! I hated gassing myself out but this its no longer a problem. I have walked out in the rainy months without a problem as well. No droop and no crunch. Most importantly my wife approves for her hair as well! She is the biggest critic when I bring in a new Earth friendly item I want to try. She has taken to “stealing” it to maintain frizz and to hold her loose curls from the iron. In-between refills I soak the nozzle in hot soapy water for a few minutes to keep the pump from possibly sticking. The bottle has held up great and the refills of course are super easy. I’m happily saying goodbye to my gels, creams and pomades.

Again, recycling is a 5th generation, American tradition and practice in my family.

The very best and stood up to wet weather on a visit to Seattle!

The hood is fairly decent. A medium hold that can definitely be overdone is you use too much. It is a bit difficult for me to spray because the amber bottle is on the heavier side and I have to use both hands. The biggest issue is that the product has somehow seeped out from the cap and run down the bottle, crusting it over badly. It arrived with some already on it and the entire bottle is crusted over now. Weird thing is I don’t see any wet product on the bottle after using it so I’m not sure how or when the leakage is occurring.

Holds my hair really well. Not sticky or stiff.
