I'm a Bath and Body Works junkie, but I had no idea that the hairspray
that my uncle packed into a box of beauty goodies contained anything
from Bath and Body Works.
In the box was a thin aluminum can of Fekkai Sheer Hold Hairspray. I
discovered after using it and looking to review it that the hairspray is
actually available from Bath and Body Works. Cool beans!
Appearance:
Fekkai Sheer Hold Hairspray comes in a long thin aluminum can. The can
itself is white with blue writing that runs down it's side. The writing
of course includes the name Fekkai, and the products name and
description. The writing itself is done up in a fades out blue which is
actually really pretty.
The Promise:
On the bottle Fekkai Hairspray promised a non-sticky invisible hold
that you could actually brush. The formula also contains UV protection,
and avocado oil that supposedly will create a natural finish.
This morning while rushing out of the house I had some loose ends that
I wanted to fix. I wear my hair in a bun when I don't have the time to
straighten it, and because my hair is so thick and heavy, I always have a
few stragglers on the top of my head that manage to free themselves of
my hair tie.
Due to the fact that the nozzle on my white rain hairspray is missing
it's spray nozzle (I can't find it anywhere), I decided to dig into the
box of goods my uncle brought to me this month. I recalled seeing a
bottle of hairspray, so I went searching for it.
My Use:
After finding the bottle in the box I simply sprayed away and let the
hairspray do the rest of the work. As I applied, I also held down the
pieces of hair that I was trying to put back in place. It worked like a
charm, the hair was back in place, and now being held down with the hair
spray.
What was astonishing about the hairspray was that it did not leave my
hair sticky, nor did it feel weighed down, however there was hold, and
the hold was good.
I was expecting my hair to cake up or feel hard and crispy, but it
didn't. It left my hair slightly crunchy, but I knew that I could in
fact easily brush my hair with the spray still in it, so they didn't lie
there.
By mid afternoon my hair was still in place, exactly the way I had styled it in the morning.
I will also note that you can easily brush through your hair without
it flaking up. I don't know how they did it, but Fekkai Sheer Hold
Hairspray is a winner, after seeking the product out online, I can see
why it is a winner. For the high price of $23.00 it better damn well do
something magical.
The hairspray does though, it is light weight, you can brush through
your hair and the spray will hold hair all day long. Fekkai Sheer
Hairspray also has a barely detectable fragrance.
Overall:
I will admit it; I was impressed. I liked how it felt, I liked how
fast it dried, and I liked the fact that it looked like I wasn't wearing
any hairspray at all. Best of all though was the fact that I was flake
free for the entire day. Many hair sprays claim to be flake free, yet
they are not. Fekkai didn't even mention flake free...but I got flake
free hair anyway. Sweet!
Is It Worth $23.00 Though?
This is where I sort of have an issue with Fekkai Sheer Hold Hairspray. Not many people have $23.00 to spend on hairspray.
The price is high; very high, especially when you are like me and you
are used to only dishing out $2 or $3 on your hairspray. When one hears
$23.00 they laugh, look away, and move on.
I do wish though that they would lower the price, I don't really think
it is worth $23.00. Cutting the price in half would be reasonable.
I'm not saying that it's not great hairspray though, because it is
great by all means...the price though is the one downfall in the
product.
