Strong hairspray recommendations

I’ve already posted about this but my original
post asked for an anti humidity hairspray when I think I actually just need a strong hairspray.
My holy grail hairspray, John Frieda moisture barrier hairspray, has changed formulations and the new one is awful!
I have really fine, straight 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. It’s so rubbish!
Does anyone with fine hair have any STRONG hairspray recommendations? Thanks

Schwarzkopf Got2B Glued hairspray is pretty hardcore, as far as strong hairspray goes

Silvikrin do a strong hold one, I'm sure that it came out tops when tested against even expensive brands a few years ago.

Thanks. I tried the Schwarzkopf one a while ago and didn’t think it was strong enough! I’m going to try it again and see how I like it.
I’ll try the Silvikrin one too.

I commented on your original post. I’m not convinced hairspray is what you are looking for. That seems quite dated. Look at products for holding curls or volume.

@Tortephantoh I do all that too. I use Elnette cream mousse and Tigi Bed Head thickening cream which are both fabulous for giving volume and curls. The volume goes very quickly if I don’t use hairspray although the curls hold. I can’t explain how poker straight and fine and flat my hair is. I get that hairspray is dated-I agree and wish I didn’t have to wear it but I do or my hair just goes super flat.
I sometimes use the thickening hair powder at my roots but it builds up pretty quickly and stops my straighteners making curls after a while.

Search this up look for hairsprays that rely on 'flexible resins', they hold the style but still let the hair move a bit. They keep curls in place without making everything feel stiff or flat.

Tesco Keronics own brand. The best ever. Way better than Elnet or silvkrin. They make my hair frizzy and sticky. The keronics is the opposite it’s amazing.
