Doesn't have a good scent!
The scent is strong and it doesn't smell nice. I bought it hoping it would be a good finishing hair spray and it has a soft hold but I can't get past the smell of it.

The smell of this hairspray is awful! Like others are saying, it’s like a combination of campfire smoke and bandages. Who would ever think this is ab acceptable scent for hairspray?!?! Do not buy.

Want to smell like a cigarette?
I never write reviews but I was compelled to do so with this hairspray. Honestly appalled at who decided ashtray, cigarette smoke was chic. Worst smelling hairspray ever. Save yourself the $9

Hi Cassie! The fact that this compelled you to write your first review tells us everything — and we are truly sorry. We want to be transparent: this is not what our Play It Big Volumizing Finishing Hair Spray is supposed to smell like, and we're genuinely concerned that the product you received may not have met our quality standards. This is something we take very seriously and want to investigate further. Please reach out to our Consumer Care team at 800-575-7960 so we can make this right and look into what happened.

Hi Momof3! Oh no — if even your partner noticed, we know it was really something! We are so sorry the scent of our Play It Big Volumizing Finishing Hair Spray was such a strong miss for your household. "Smells like bandages" is definitely not the impression we want to make! Scent can be subjective, but a smell that's noticeable to everyone in the room tells us something may not have been right with this particular product. It's possible you received a batch that wasn't up to our standards, and that's something we want to look into right away. Please give our Consumer Care team a call at 800-575-7960 — we'd love to make this right for you and get you a product worthy of a busy mom's routine! 💙 — SGX NYC Team

Hi Morgan! Yikes — we are so sorry the scent of our Play It Big Volumizing Finishing Hair Spray was such a turn-off!

This kind of feedback is really helpful for us, and we'd love to learn more about your experience. It's possible you may have received a product that wasn't up to our standards, and we want to look into it. Please reach out to our Consumer Care team at 800-575-7960 so we can make this right for you. You deserve a product that smells as good as your hair looks! 💙✨ — SGX NYC Team

As good as more expensive brands!!
I really like this hair spray! I have used much more expensive brands and when I found this was so excited. It’s a third the cost of what I usually spend and it holds and smells great. Not a strong scent but pleasant. I would recommend!

Great hairspray!
First time using this hairspray and I looooove it! Doesn’t dry out my hair or make it feel crunchy. Nice smell, helps my curls hold, and great price. Would recommend!

Smelled like an ashtray
Wanted to love this because of the price, but it was a hard no after one use. Zero hold and it made my hair smell like a dirty ashtray - so much so that my husband and daughter asked if I’d been around a smoker. Returned immediately. Would not recommend.
1 reply from High Ridge Brands Team team - 1 month ago
Hi Erinn! We are truly sorry — having your husband and daughter ask if you'd been around a smoker after using a hair product is mortifying, and we completely understand why you returned it immediately. That is not okay, and not remotely the experience we intended for you! Zero hold AND an ashtray scent on the first use tells us something was seriously wrong with the product you received. This is not what our Play It Big Volumizing Finishing Hair Spray is supposed to smell like or perform like, and we believe you may have received a product that didn't meet our quality standards. We'd really love the chance to make this right. Please give our Consumer Care team a call at 800-575-7960 so we can look into what happened. You came to us for great hair at a great price — and that's exactly what you should have gotten. 💙 — SGX NYC Team

do not buy this junk, fr. so disappointed
everyone's right, it smells like stale smoke & it's disgusting. it works fine as a volumizing finishing spray, but it will leave your hair crunchy & stiff, but that smell, dude... im returning it & sticking w Big Sexy Hair.
1 reply from High Ridge Brands Team team - 1 month ago
Hi Kendo! We hear you — and we're genuinely sorry. Stale smoke is absolutely not the scent our Play It Big Volumizing Finishing Hair Spray is supposed to have, and we completely understand why that was a dealbreaker regardless of how it performed. The fact that you're seeing this echoed by other reviewers is something we are taking very seriously. This is not a fragrance preference issue — this is a quality concern we are actively investigating, and feedback like yours is exactly what drives that urgency. We'd really love to connect with you before you go. Please give our Consumer Care team a call at 800-575-7960 so we can make this right and hopefully earn back your trust. You deserve a finishing spray that delivers on every level — performance AND scent! 💙 — SGX NYC Team

Good, but pungent
Works as a hair spray super well. Adds a lot of volume. But, it stinks!! It literally smells like old cigarette smoke, and it is noticeable. I’m embarrassed to wear it out because of the smell.

All expired product online and in store- DON'T BUY
I’ve been a loyal customer, but my last six+ purchases have been awful. Each bottle smelled rancid, like a burnt bandage. I kept buying, thinking I’d just gotten a bad batch, but when I finally checked, every single one was expired. My local store’s entire shelf was expired, and even when I ordered online, I still got a rancid bottle. I reported it to the store manager and even reached out directly to the company, but never received a response. Extremely disappointing experience… I will not be purchasing again.
