Amika Headstrong Intense Hold Hairspray

Amika Headstrong hairspray: fast-drying, freeze hold to finish a set style

This finishing spray is for all hair types, 1 to 4c, that need intense hold. Reach for it as the last step, on a finished style.

What the brand says it does

Its product page describes a fast-drying, freeze-hold finishing hairspray that gets your style into submission. It adds that:

• Provitamin B5 promotes hair's resilience, smooths and conditions
• It is safe for color-treated, Brazilian-treated and keratin-treated hair

Washes, masks, oils and other stylers sit beside it on Nava's Amika shelf, hairsprays to hair masks.

How to use it

Style your hair, then spray onto the styled hair. Avoid contact with eyes.

For an updo, spray onto bobby pins first for better hold on slick, slippery or fine hair.

Under "works well with," the product page lists Superfruit Star lightweight styling oil.
