Works amazingly!
This lightweight hairspray truly delivers on its promise, keeping my curls intact throughout the day while allowing them to transform into soft beach waves by the next morning. I appreciate its pleasant scent and the way it maintains its effectiveness over time. It's definitely a worthwhile investment!

Nice light hairspray
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This hairspray has a light, pleasant smell and the sprayer is a light mist style which I love. It’s a flexible hold but still gets the job done. I’ve had no issues with packaging or nozzle which is common in hairsprays and it’s very lightweight. I would purchase a bottle again.

Fix the button!
Enjoy this product - holds well enough without being crunchy and smells pleasant but not overwhelming. HOWEVER, please fix the spray button. The tactile element is inferior, leading to spray going the wrong direction because I can’t quite tell where it’s pointing.

AMAZING
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This worked amazingly on holding my style throughout the day! I've used this before straightening and curling my hair. I usually have to style my hair in layers so one spray per layer worked perfectly. It also made my hair look and feel smoother.

Great product bad smell
This hairspray is great and does the job by my goodness it smells terrible. It would be 5 stars probably without the smell.

Great hold
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Kristen Ess Workable Hairspray is lightweight and slightly sticky, so there is mild resistance when brushing or running fingers through hair. It works well with heat styling, and the style persists to the next day. The sprayer is tricky sometimes and requires strong fingers to press it down. Overall, I would recommend this for the light quality and style endurance.

Crunchy hair texture
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This hairspray definitely does what it says it does, while also allowing movement. However, it makes the hair extremely crunchy, which I’m not a fan of at all.

Great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This hairspray has a fine mist that makes it super easy to apply. It provides a long lasting hold that is great for any voluminous look! It gives the hair a shiny glossy finish without making it crusty.

Fine, workable mist
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this spray as directed. While styling my hair, I would apply the spray in sections and then use the heat tool. The spray stated that it was to be used as a heat protectorant and to hold the style. It had a light scent that was pleasant and not overpowering. After styling, my hair was still soft and touchable. The style held up for the evening. I think it us too fine for my everyday hairspray but great for an evening out.

Holds
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love a hairspray that you can work with and doesn't get hard. This spray goes on smooth and doesn't feel sticky. It doesn't make your hair feel hard or thick with product. It easily tamed my fly aways and frizz. I think it's worth trying if you're looking for a hair spray that won't get hard and let you work with it.

Wide mist and soft set
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy spray with a light scent. Was easy to comb through after using and didn’t cause itchy scalp. Was great for keeping down flyaways and frizz and holds general hairstyle lightly. Would recommend.

Good Hairspray
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When using the hairdryer with the round brush attachment, I like to finish with a hairspray to keep everything laid down and looking good. I like that this hairspray sprays the perfect amount with each spray and I like that the scent isn’t overwhelming. I did however notice that I have to use a little bit more of this product at a time than the hairspray I normally use. I do find this one to be workable when I’m styling as well!

It’s a keeper
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have such fine fragile curly hair. It’s hard to find a product that doesn’t weigh my hair down or make it hard and sticky. This hairspray by Kristin Ess is the perfect product for hair like mine! It smells so light and pleasant, it’s buildable and fine mist, and doesn’t make your hair hard if you need a few layers throughout the day for touchups. I also like that it makes my hair shiny, and is perfect for straight hair days with my extensions.

Really amazing!🤩
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Recently I started using Kristin Ess Workable Hairspray and it’s honestly become one of my favorites! It holds my style in place without feeling crunchy or stiff, and I love that I can brush through it and restyle without any awkward buildup. The mist feels light but still strong enough to keep waves, curls, and finished looks in place all day. It doesn’t weigh my hair down or make it sticky — my hair still feels soft and touchable, just polished and secure. Whether I’m refreshing a style or setting it after styling, this hairspray gives the perfect balance of hold and flexibility. Truly 5 stars! 💁♀️✨

May be better for shorter hair
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I actually use this on my damp hair after washing it in the shower. I haven’t noticed any residue that it leaves behind. The strength is hard to tell because I haven’t noticed any super long hair that is weighed down so I can’t really judge on the hold on it. The texture it gives does help keep my natural curls a little longer throughout the day though.

Okay not great.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The scent on this hairspray is veryyy overpowering. It’s not my favorite scent so that’s why it’s not rated 5 stars. The hold was meh but it’s a working hairspray so that’s why. It didn’t weigh my hair down though.

Amazing 2 in 1
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love everything about this hairspray. You won’t need to buy heat protectant anymore because this does it all in one. With this stuff, you spray it on BEFORE styling and it protects your hair from the heat from styling tools AND holds your style. This hairspray is very lightweight so you don’t get that crunchy feeling. It has a really nice, fresh scent so it also makes your hair smell good. It does a pretty great job keeping your style in place too. Today I went for a brisk walk immediately after doing my hair and when I was finished, you couldn’t even tell. I definitely recommend this hairspray and will definitely use it again.
