The Best Hairspray For All Day Hold
By: Kenra Professional
Hairspray has been a popular hair product since it first debuted in the 1940s. Women’s hairstyles grew taller and taller as hairsprays became more effective at locking in their curls and creating sky-high volume that didn’t budge. Now, decades later, hairspray is still a popular product amongst women and men alike. Popular hairstyles may not be as tall or dramatic as they once were, but hairspray is still a fantastic tool to volumize, set, and tame flyaways.
However, just because hairspray has been around for decades doesn’t mean that there isn’t anything new to learn about it. People are still wondering how to get the perfect hold, which product to use, and what distance to spray from. Luckily, we’ve got the inside scoop on proper application techniques and top-quality products. After reading this comprehensive guide, you’ll be a hairspray pro in no time.
The History of Hairspray
Aerosol canisters were invented in 1943 by the United States Army to use for bug spray. This new pressurized can, allowed liquids to be sprayed out in an even and consistent mist. After the war was over, scientists looked for a new way to use this revolutionary technology and turned to haircare. This is how hairspray, as we know it today, was invented.
Without hairspray, we wouldn’t have the iconic beehives and bouffants of the ‘50s, the neatly coiffed curls of the ‘60s, or the larger-than-life ‘80s hairdos. Nowadays, hairspray is used for a variety of hairstyles, and it’s not quite as stiff as it once was. The modern-day hairspray offers you options of different levels of hold for different styles ranging from a formal updo to soft beachy waves.
In 1987 during the height of hairspray popularity, Kenra Professional introduced their iconic
Volume Spray 25. Now, over 30 years later, Kenra’s high-quality product is still a trusted favorite of hair professionals and at-home beauty buffs alike. This amazing hairspray has stood the test of time and is still going strong as one of the very best hairsprays available.
Uses and Benefits of Hairspray
Hairspray comes in many different levels of hold, depending on the style you are trying to achieve. At Kenra Professional, we offer a hold factor scale of 0-30 on our products that vary from a no-hold weightless shine to an ultra-firm hold that freezes style in place. With so many different options, we are sure to have the perfect level of hold for your styling needs. Many of our hairsprays are formulated to be flexible, so you get the volume and hold you need to preserve your styled hair without that crunchy feel.

How To Correctly Use Hairspray
To achieve the best results, there are a couple of application tips you can try. These will help you use your salon-quality styling spray just like a pro.
Nozzle - SHAKE WELL. Make sure the spray nozzle isn’t clogged with excess product. This can prevent the spray from coming out as an even, fine mist. Wipe the nozzle every few usages to ensure that there is no buildup
Distance - Hold the bottle eight to ten inches away from your hair and spray in a continuous motion. This will ensure that the product is applied evenly.
Flip Your Hair - To add volume, flip your head upside down and spray away. You can also lift sections of the hair and spray near the roots for similar effects.
Sensitive Scalps - If you have a sensitive scalp, opt for alcohol-free Shaping Spray 21 as the alcohol of other hairsprays can irritate sensitive skin if overused.
Taming Flyaways - To smooth out flyaways for a sleek ponytail or updo, spray some hairspray into your fingertips or onto a kabuki brush, then lightly smooth the hair back with the product.
