Suited to anyone wanting a firm, longer-lasting hold with an emphasis on fuller-looking styles, including those with fine or thinning-prone hair who want extra support at the root. Because it is applied to damp hair before blow-drying rather than only as a dry finishing spray, it fits into an active styling routine rather than a quick end-of-day touch-up.

Because it is meant to be misted onto damp hair and blown dry rather than sprayed on as a last step, this hairspray does double duty as a styling aid and a hold product, giving it a role in building the fuller, denser-looking finish the Density Defend line is built around, rather than simply locking down a style that is already finished.

Shake the aerosol can well before use. Spray throughout clean, damp hair from roots to ends, then comb through to distribute evenly. Blow-dry to build volume and style as desired, adding a light additional spray once dry for extra hold if needed.

Pros

• Firm hold aimed at supporting fuller-looking styles rather than just stiff hold
• Aerosol format delivers an even, fine mist that combs through easily
• Applied to damp hair, so it works with blow-drying instead of only finishing an already-dry style

Cons

• Aerosol can format, so it is not a pump or non-aerosol travel option
• Contains parabens and fragrance
• As a firm-hold formula, it can feel heavier than a light- or flexible-hold spray if applied generously
