I have used hairspray for as long as I can remember as my mam used to pull my hair back tight and spray it until I wore a helmet to school. I swear hairspray was the reason I never had nits as they had no chance of getting through to my hair! Upon turning 16 I decided to have my hair cut short and at this point I was unsure of what products would work, I like my hair to stay where it is and not go limp partway through the day. I have gone through waxes, clays, puttys, gels, hair glues etc all combined with hairspray. Currently my combination is V05 matte paste plus shcokwaves extra strong hold hairspray for hair that defys the wind. Shockwaves is ...  Read the complete review

*Works very well *Doesn't make hair sticky (if you use it correctly) *Doesn't make hair too stiff (unless it rains/snows) *Doesn't make hair and scalp dry *Good price *Lasts for ages! Effective? This product works wonders compared to other hairsprays I've tried. I have found that you don't need much of this spray on your hair for it to work, I have medium length, very thick hair and just a quick, thin spray of this stuff does the trick. My hair stay in place all day long, and on more than one occasion I've woken up with my hair still in place! No joke. Worth the money? Shockwave is definitely worth the ...  Read the complete review

INTRODUCTION Having already tried many hairsprays that didn't hold my hair in my chosen messed up style i thought would move on to a well known make that many guys use to fix their spiky, messed up styles. Shockwaves is a well known and loved brand that people use to fix their hairstyles all day, so i thought i would give it a go. PACKAGING The hairspray comes in a 300ml, red, tin canister, with a white plastic lid that has the nozzle to the spray. The hair spray has white bold writing going down the canister with the products brand 'shockwaves.' The hair spray comes in many strengths and depending on the strength of the hairspray it has a ...  Read the complete review

I always have a tin of hairspray in the house, although I use it so very infrequently that a single can will last me several years. So on the occasion that I need to buy hairspray, I choose very carefully. Oh, alright, I go along the shelf & choose whichever product promises the strongest hold. That is how I came to choose the "Ultra Strong Power Hold" hairspray from Wella's "Shockwaves" line. It doesn't get much stronger than Ultra Strong Power Hold, right? The problem I have with hairspray is that unless I use the strongest hold I can find (or spray it on so thickly that I appear to be wearing a hair helmet), it doesn't seem to have any ...  Read the complete review

My hair is very thin and has natural ringlets so I need a strong hair spray to keep my curls sets all day in the style I want but also keep it straight after i have straightened it. It also needs to look light and practially invisable. I saw this in my loal Boots chemist selling at £2.00 for a 250ml can so thought I would give it a go. If I am honest I thought that it would be really good due to the brand and the recommendation from my friends but it wasnt as good as I first thought. The packaging is very striking and something you an pick out of your bathroom cupboard very quickly which is handy if you are in a rush. Of course it is an aerosol, like many ...  Read the complete review
