Hairdresser views please: hairspray on damp hair for styling

[OMGitsnotgood]

I was away for the weekend recently and had forgotten my styling products. I need something as my hair is quite limp otherwise. I did however have a small hairspray so sprayed it on damp hair before blow drying my hair. The results were amazing, and have carried on doing that since, with lots of nice comments so it's clearly giving good results. One friend though suggested that it wasn't a very good idea but couldn't explain why. It's a few weeks til I see my own hairdresser so thought I'd ask the professionals on here for their opinions Thanks.

It is fine in a pinch, but long term use can cause dryness due to the alcohol content. It can also lead to a crunchy texture.

I hope someone replies to your post as I too have limp fine hair and any product which helps will be greatly appreciated. I will give this a try 🤞

Thank you @ChishiyaBat , good to know. If occasional use is ok, then I might use it for special nights out as it really did work so well and held longer than any other product.

Very ‘80’s!

@cherrytree12345 the second best I've had was some really cheap hair gel from a supermarket in Spain or might have been France when the mousse I'd taken ran out (decades ago when mousse was the main thing, but I couldn't find it anywhere over there ! ) That was fabulous too, and after trying many other products, have gone back to gel again. You can spend a fortune but you really don't have to

I use gel and hairspray whenever I wash my hair - I scrunch it too so am the epitome of 80s chic! 😁

No problem, if it works for you and you look after your hair it won't cause any lasting harm using ut occasionally.

I style with hairspray on wet or damp hair most times I style. Lots of gel too!
