Anti humidity hairspray recommendations

My holy grail hairspray, John Frieda moisture barrier hairspray, has changed formulations and the new one is awful!
I have really fine hair that I curl with straighteners each day and the old JF hairspray gave it volume, kept my curls in all day and stopped any frizz when I went on holiday. The new one smells awful and has no hold at all.
Does anyone with fine hair have any good anti frizz or any great hairspray recommendations? Thanks

It's not a hairspray but the product that works for me is Wella Professionals Ultimate Miracle Hair Oil Serum.

I have really fine hair and a little of this post wash lasts several days so it's quite economical.

I have used that a few years now and am really happy to recommend it.

Thanks @Tortephantwhat does it do? I’m looking for something to hold in my waves and volume. Does this serum do this? Thanks

This is the best hair product I have tried in years and I think it would do what you want. Curls last for days and it keeps hair frizz free. I have thick hair, but it would be worth trying

I’ve found the Bedhead after party cream to work well on my hair. It looks like it’s going to be really heavy, but disappears after drying. I add a little bit more after my hair is dry, but that might be harder with curled hair

@itsevolutionbaby I’m going to buy that. This is going to be an expensive time for me trying to replace my holy grail!

For me it’s the anti-humidity fly away frizz it stops. My hair is too fine to hold curls so not tried like that

I hope it works for you.
I use it on dry hair before curling/styling __with great results.

@Tortephanthmm. I’m not sure that’s what I’m looking for. My hair is poker straight and flat. I curl it to give it volume, flip my head upside down then use the JF hairspray to hold the curls and it worked so well. I’m unreasonably upset they’ve changed this amazing product that gave me fabulous hair!!!

Ok. By the heading I thought you were looking more for the product I suggested.

my sister uses Oribe for her curls and swears by it (and at how expensive it is).
