TRESemmé Compressed Micromist Hairspray comes in four different levels of hold to suit all your styling needs and each one costs less than $10.
If you're looking for a hairspray that won't break the bank, but still gives you salon quality results, you should give the Tresemme Compressed Micromist line of hairspray a try. There are 4 different formulas to meet all your hairstyling needs: Texture Hold Level 1, Smooth Hold Level 2, Boost Hold Level 3, and Extend Hold Level 4.
Level 1 is perfect for giving a finishing touch to tousled beach waves or a messy top knot, providing lightweight coverage and complete flexibility. Level 2 works great for sleek styles and will keep your hair looking smooth and frizz free all day long. If you want more volume with a hold that still provides a brushable feel, Level 3 is ideal. For a style that won't budge, Level 4 provides the strongest hold that is designed to go the distance, getting you through everything from the average workday to a special event. All these formulas provide a lightweight feel that is both frizz and humidity resistant.
I tested all four to see if they lived up to the promised results, and was impressed with the quality of this hairspray — especially since it is so affordable. If you love changing up your hairstyle frequently, this hairspray is so budget friendly you could easily justify adding all four formulas to your hair product line-up, so you'll have a hairspray for every style need.
I wear my hair up a lot, and typically look for a hairspray that will provide maximum hold since it's both thick and heavy, so Level 4 was the first formula I reached for. When applied in the morning, it held my style in place through the workday. If I was going somewhere in the evening, I did usually need to give my hair a little touch-up, so for my hair type the "up to 24 hours of hold" wouldn't be a reality. However, it got me through the main part of the day without letting me down.
On the days when I wore my hair down, I turned to Level 1 and Level 2. I have naturally wavy hair, so I used Level 1 for protecting my hair against the humidity that typically turns my wavy head of hair into an unattractive frizz-ball. When using this formula, it cut way down on the frizz that I usually experience, and it kept my waves soft and touchable.
Since the only way I come by straight hair is with a flatiron and about an hour's worth of work, I don't straighten my hair often. When I do, I want something that will keep my stubborn hair looking sleek and frizz free all day to make all the styling work worth it. Level 2 lived up to my standards, making my hair feel soft and smooth all day. With this formula, no touch ups were needed.
Since I have thick hair, I typically stay away from volumizing or "boosting" hair products, but I did find that Level 3 gave my roots more lift, and had a lightweight feel that would be ideal for those who have fine, thin hair.
Some reviewers felt the scent of this hairspray was too strong, but personally, I didn't find it irritating — and I tend to be sensitive to strong smells. It smells the strongest when applying, but I didn't notice the scent for the rest of the day after it had been applied.
Pros: Micromist formula provides a lightweight feel, keeps frizz at bay, protects against humidity, different formulas and levels of hold available, compressed formula allows for a smaller can with the same number of sprays
Cons: May require some touch-ups depending on your hair type, some reviewers didn't like the scent
