Balea Wind Resistance Hairspray

Having bangs and going everywhere on a bike I must admit is not always the best plan.

When I saw this hairspray I thought it might help my bangs stay in place. Not only that but the idea of a wind resistant hairspray was so enticing I couldn’t pass me by

What Balea says
Ultimate hair hold: with Balea’s wind-resistant hair spray, styling stays securely in place whatever the weather. The nozzle sprays micro-fine and thanks to the UV filter and provitamin B5, it also ensures strengthened and resistant hair – without any stickiness or residue. Double spray power for spectacular hold, rock-hard fixation in any weather, 48-hour hold.

My thoughts
The hairspray has a very strong alcohol smell not very unsurprising seeing as it is the first ingredient. The spray does not spray very wide nor does a lot come out meaning that it is very usable on my bangs.

It is a little bit drying, which is not surprising with such a stronghold. Does it hold better than other hairsprays I use? Certainly but then again I never use 7 hold hairspray. I think if you love really elaborate styles this might be just the hairspray for you.

It’s inexpensive and works well. The downside is the smell, it leaves a big cloud of hairspray and it’s absolutely awful. I know that some people can handle this easily but my lungs cannot. I also feel that my expectation was a little bit much. For the price it’s a great hairspray but not much better than hairsprays that are a bit more expensive. I didn’t find it sticky which is another plus. If you don’t care about the smell and the lingering cloud it is a good product to try.
