Boots 'Essentials' Maximum Hold Hairspray

I use hairspray on my fringe called Frederick, he's an 'emo' fringe and I like to hold him in place throughout the day for my look! Because I am a student I can't afford expensive hairsprays so always but 'Boots Maximum Hold' out of the 'essentials' range as it is really cheap and really good at setting my fringe for the day! The size I am reviewing is 200ml which only cost 99p plus Boots have loads of offers on their own stock, so sometimes I can get two cans for £1.50 plus I get 4 Advantage card points which means I get 4 pence out of every pound I spend it store back on my card which makes this range even better value! There is also a ...  Read the complete review

I have long, wavy, kind of unruly hair, and was using this spray for a long time whenever I needed to 'glue' a section of hair on the top of my head in place, before I realised that there are a lot better ones out there. I guess the fact that the product is Boots brand (cheap and cheerful) should have tipped me off. The unperfumed version of the product is packaged in a light lilac metallic spray bottle, which is very minimalistic and quite stylish in design. The perfumed version comes in a darker lilac bottle. The unperfumed spray comes in a big full size bottle 450 ml and a small travel size one, 75 ml, which is very light and fits nicely into a ...  Read the complete review

I brought this product whilst running through the station to catch a train on new years - I realised the English weather had absolutely no consideration for my high hairstyle what so ever! I usually use maximum hold silverkin hairspray, but this was cheap at around 89 pence for a large can, so I thought it would do as...well, all hairsprays are the same aren't they?? Well the answer is no! I brought the non-perfumed version of this as I'm not into getting suffocated everytime I try to fix my hair! The tin is light purple with a plain white spray top and text printed on the can in white writing. It works great and my hair does stay exactly where it should, however it ...  Read the complete review

The other day I was out shopping deliberately for hair products and was drawn to Boots with a 3 for 2 offer on loads of products including said hair care products. I'd already bought loads of stuff and didn't actually need anything more but one thing I rarely use is hairspray so I decided to get some particularly for when I'm wearing my hair up or in fancy styles. I don't normally buy or use hairspray. Ever since at school I had a huge metallic green can of Nova Extra Hold Hairspray that glued my hair, dried it out and stunk and lasted me for years and years! I do have a can of Lee Stafford stuff that isn't great and I don't use it often it just completes my ...  Read the complete review

As my regular dooyoo readers will know, I am a big fan of pretty much anything 'Boots'...and this super 'essentials' can of hairspray is no exception! For years I used the 'extra firm hold unperfumed' product, until Boots re-invented and upgraded this entire range, adding the 'maximum hold unperfumed' variety too. 'Great', I thought, as I loved the effectiveness of the original lacquer, presuming the maximum hold would be even stronger on my hatefully thin and flyaway hair! Enviously coveting anyone who has a thick, full-of-body mane, like *Bob*, my boyfriend (Heavy Rock Dude, with luxurious locks to die for halfway down his back...Grrrr!), I ...  Read the complete review
