If you really need a shellac, two words: BIG SEXY.

Is Elnett available in the Netherlands? Is it a supermarket/drug store brand or can you only find it in beauty supply stores?

I'm going to be living in the Netherlands until May, and I need a new hairspray! I got a Schwarzkopf hairspray at the supermarket, but my hair falls flat in less than an hour -- I'm thinking because the air is so damp here. Any advice on an appropriate (available in Europe and hopefully not too expensive!) hairspray for this sort of weather? I'm from LA, where it's dry, so this is a totally new situation for me!

sure, they have it in most drugstores, i think even in supermarkets, or try nivea hairspray it has a medium hold, but smells great and very affordable

It should be available in drug stores and supermarkets. I personally don't like Elnett as even the super strong hold doesn't hold my hair at all and I'm not fond of the smell. Tresemme freeze hold all the way!

Curly headed Gals in the UK might like to try Silverkrin for Curly hair. It's in an orange can and I only discovered it last week.
Amazing hold on my unruly locks. Available in Superdrug. (much cheapness!)

Elnette everytime..... Still has the orginal gold packaging too from the 50's... Holds great, smells great and looks great on the dresser....

Could not agree more. Worth every penny.

PT - Elnett is made by L'Oreal so you should be able to get it.

Aussie Mega hair spray is my favorite. My hair is incredibly fine and this hairspray holds all my styles the entire day. It even makes my curl hold better.

I use wella shockwaves hairspray, holds any style.

The gel pump spray is fab to hold formal updo's i use it to hold my rolls

I will be honest though in that it does feel like concrete if you put too much on, but it doesn't look it to everyone else

I did also use to use Insette, cheap as chips but holds well.

 

[artful dodgette]

i like a lot of hold, but have super dry hair, so I have started using hairspray made for black people's hair, ad I love it! My current fave is called IsoPlus 24 Hour Hold, and it is a strong hold with no crunch whatsoever. Makes my hair silky!

i use that too! it is amazing! i even use it to set my pincurls!

I got some Elnett the other day and it worked pretty well. Of course my curls had mostly fallen flat by the end of the night (but I was out running around all over Utrecht), but they held up while I was indoors, which is more than the other hairsprays did for me over here.

Now I'm seeing how wonderful LA weather is for vintage hairdos. I miss it!

 

[Fleur de vanité]

I use Aussie Instant Freeze Hair Spray,but only use a little bit. I mostly use this when I'm wearing my hair straight and with a side part. It holds really well,and brushes quite easily,too.

 

[pennycarrol]

I've got Elnett too, for dry hair!! It works very well!!! My grandmother used to have Elnett!! The smell reminds me her!!!

 

[Miss 1929]

And they look awesome

i use that too! it is amazing! i even use it to set my pincurls!

if that picture is any evidence! Shiny!

Aquanet all the way. It's perfect. And I love the big white and pink can.

 

[Tourbillion]

I "accidentally" bought three cans of Sebastian Laminates hairspray on eBay. So, I think that is what I'll be using for at least a year.

It is a really nice hair spray however, and is nice and shiny.

I tried this one today and it made my hair very crispy and kind of dull and dusty looking. Is there a trick to using it that i am missing?!

 

[Blondie]

Does anyone know of a hairspray with NO alcohol in it ?

 

[melbournian]

I'm a big fan of Schwarzkopf Silhouette...have used it ever since I was a little girl for my fancy ballet exam/performance hairdos. Granted, it can make your hair a little stiff and crunchy, but it holds like nothing else, and is the only thing that will make my hair hold a good curl more than 24 hours.

Aquanet. No question.
