I am a 30+ yr user of Paul Mitchell Freeze and Shine.. i love the less than 2 minutes to wash itall out of my hair and it holds amazing especially on super fine hair💖💖💖
FRUSTRATED?! hah! I never thought that I would become a crazy woman over hairspray, but I sure did. I even wrote to Aussie and begged them to please change back to the original formula because the new one wasn't working. Unfortunately, all I received back was a coupon for a free can of hairspray. lol I cannot thank you enough for testing out the brands for us. Now I will stop wasting my money on so many brands that don't hold up to their word and just go get the stuff that works. You are such an inspiration for so many of us mature women with the hair and the makeup. You have patiently held out your hand and directed us in the right direction to try new and fun things. Thank you and God bless you.
They did that to me too!!!! Coupon Really? I begged them to go back and I also told them that I will never buy ANY of the products again because they will just change that without notice.. I became a stupid crazy lady because I have 5 cans all from diffrernt stores, cities thinking it was just a bad batch.. Im an idiot @@cfoster6804
Thank you so much for testing all these products. I was so heartbroken when Aussie reformulated our favorite hair spray but you did not give up until you found other great options. Thank you!
I bought a travel size of the Bed Head Hard Head when we went to Philly in August. Temps near 100 and horrid humidity. This spray did not let me down!!! Definitely a #1! Love your gorgeous top! Very “Fallish!” Hugs, dear friend!💗
I’ve owned a hair salon for 23 years now (stylist for 30 years) Hard Head is the only spray I use when doing wedding hair. It’s insurance that the style will hold for the whole evening .
It's always a good day when Sharalee is in the house and on duty! Thank you sweetest lady for your expert advice and teaching us to be as expert as you.
Omg I sooo agree with you on the formula with the Aussie !! I thought I was going nuts !! The sprayer also changed too 😢 that was my favorite too !! I’ve tried so many also & still really haven’t found one I truly like !! Thanks for doing this video -
I can't believe Aussie will not bring back the original formula after all these videos and so many people, including myself, reaching out to the company begging them to change it. It's just crazy to me.
I have used the Salon Graffix for years and purchase it by the case. I must have literally killed my scent receptors from using so much because I can’t smell it all! Will definitely be trying your #1 pick. As a retired research scientist, I appreciate your thoroughness and dedication to finding the perfect spray!
Salon Grafix was THE Best hair spray by far…that was until they changed the formula in the past year or so. Using Kenra 30. I like it, but it is 3 times the price one can of SG. This video is helpful
Thank you for having short hair! I find that everything is geared for long hair. I liked when you mimicked the weather conditions. I have the worst hair! It is fine, extremely limp and thinning. As soon as i go outside, i might as well have not styled my hair. Flat flat flat. If anyone out there has a product for my condition, please share. I have not tried the freezing sprays, i will give it a try.
Us short haired gals have to stick together!😘 Try using Catwalk Root Boost before drying your hair. You can also try the Sexy Hair Powder Play Light in your dry hair for added lift💗
P.S. If you have balding spots like I do (I am a brunette), I spray some if the root cover on to make it look thicker. My favorite brands are Everpro and Hairitage.
Thank you so much!! Yes Aussie is not good anymore. And the SG is my go-to be the smell has gotten worse when using curling iron. I had been searching for so long. Thank you again. I'm so glad I found your channel! Blessings 💕
Thank. You. SO. Much! I had been using Aussie Instant Freeze for a LONG time, and can no longer find it, so your comparison and description was SOOO helpful!!
Love the Bed Head Hard Head you recommended and yes even better than the original Aussie Freeze formula. Hard Head is more expensive but you have ultimately saved me money by not buying the bad hair sprays. THANK YOU!!
hi Sharalee. i love your videos. you are so down to earth and have helped me so much. i used to use Aussie instant freeze but i noticed it wasn't the same, and so i searched to find out why (not even thinking to contact the company first - lol) and found your video. after watching it, i decided to write to the company myself just to let them know politely that i was dissatisfied with the new formulation and i heard back from them!! and they said this > "Thanks to feedback from consumers like you; The Aussie Instant Freeze Aerosol is being changed from the water-based Hairspray to the ethanol-based Hairspray from December 2023. This new Formula is very similar to the ethanol-based hairspray that consumers used to know and love. The overall usage experience is quite different. The new Hairsprays will offer a much drier feel and experience Vs. The old water-based hairspray." i haven't been able to find it at my local Shoppers Drug Mart (i am in Canada), but i will be looking around at Walmart and Giant Tiger soon, and I will definitely be giving it a try again. What do you think?
I have been using Alterna Caviar Working Hair Spray for over 16 years and it's my absolute HG hairspray. It's a working hairspray, so for anyone not familiar...it's buildable and can easily comb/brush through it. It's also fast drying. Your hair will never feel wet. It also leaves no white residue. I have dark hair and with some hairsprays, I can look at my hair in the sunlight and see a white cast on my hair. I have never had that with my Alterna. I have looked far and wide for a replacement because now the price is $40 for the biggest can. I just can't get over how expensive it has gotten ....but I refuse to give it up. HOWEVER, I'm looking for something to use when I'm not really going anywhere but do my hair. Anyway, your haircut is absolutely adorable. It's so sassy. Looks fantastic on you because you have a gorgeous face. You don't need to hide behind long hair...and not many people can say that. Thanks for sharing these. I might need to give some of them a try. ♥
I am so glad your video popped up on my screen. I knew it wasn't in my head ... My hair is baby fine and very hard to hold. Aussie was great but all of a sudden my hair is weighed down, limp and totally in my face. I have ordered other brands and have not been at all happy yet, but I feel certain that one of your "top five" picks will do the job. Again, thank you so very much for the effort you made to "save" the rest of us.
Thank you! I have been waiting before buying. I am on my last can of original Aussie which was my holy grail, and after the upgrade it became my holy crap! I will try these, thank you so much for saving me time and money!
Thank you! We were excited to see that you put this video up. Awesome and thank you for the information. So far, we tried Hard Head and Helmut Head. We appreciate all that you do to enlighten us!
Hey Sharalee! I’m late. I was doing my nails. Praise God you’ve found us a hairspray. Bedhead is already in my cart! The one on QVC is selling fast! Must be ones who watched this! Thank you so much Sharalee, especially for finding some affordable options. I’m almost out of Aussie so your timing is perfect. Love you bunches sweet friend!❤ PS. I received a trio collection of nail polishes from my daughter for my birthday and couldn’t wait!😂
I never used the Aussie, but I’ve been desperately looking for a hairspray that would hold my thick, but fine, heavy hair. It’s a layered, shoulder length with curtain bangs, & I’ve been using the TREsumme extra hold hair spray for years, because when my hair was longer, all I would spray is just the bangs, and it was OK for that, but since I’ve cut my hair shorter with a little bit more style and need something stronger than TREsumme, when I saw your other video I was taking to you & telling that’s not going to work & it didn’t hold our hair just like it doesn’t hold mine, so now i’m going to try the top two you showed on this video and hopefully they will hold my layers and give me the hold & piecey look I desire it was volume. Thank you for the video.
Thx so much for all this testing! I didn’t even know I needed a better hairspray but I’m growing out my pixie and I am crazy about the “Chi Helmet Head!” I just got the Bed Head Hard Head Extreme Hold, too. I never would have tried either one w/out your videos! 💞💞💞
Thank you! I'm so glad you've found your new favorite! I'm still searching... I do like so me of the same ones you do, but still looking for "the one" Enjoy your vacation!!!!
When I saw you pull out the CHI I thought it would win out! Lol I recently purchased a travel size for a mini vacation. Where has this been all of hair styling life! Yes, it holds, pleasant smell and just as appealing is the ease of use. Easy to spray. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and as much as I love Kenra, their packaging needs to be more user friendly. Absolutely cannot use their products bc of poor delivery. This was so much fun to watch. (And Sebastian just plain stinks. Like barn yard stink 😅) Your hair looks great BTW in this video! 🌸 💕 🤗
Hi, l have tried for the John Fredda hair spray, l love it, l also have a pixie cut because I have thick hair, but since l am in my 60, my hair is thinning, so l find it works great on my hair, hugsssss ❤❤
SO glad to find this I’ve been SO UPSET since Aussie changed. I ONLY used Aussie for over a decade. So disappointed they changed! Can’t wait to see your replacement thoughts. Nothing so far can beat the scent of the original Aussie!
Was happy to find this video after noticing the issues with my "go to" Aussie spray! I did go with your top recommendation and was very happy with it as an alternative, however, you need to wash your hair every day or the Bedhead will "gum up" on your hair. It felt a little sticky after touch ups during the day and even more so if used "day 2". Thank you for this!
I’ve never clicked so fast!! Give me a hair spray with maximum hold and allows you to mold your style. I recently tried L’Oreal Elnet Maxium Hold and it did nothing. Even sprayed it on my hand and couldn’t even feel it. I will be checking out your recs because I’m on the hunt too. This girl needs a better spray, and one that won’t break the bank. You can frequently get Hard Head and Masterpiece, both Bed Head, at TJ Maxx or Marshall’s. I’ve used both. The one difference, that I’ve noticed, is that Hard Head is a bit mattifying while Masterpiece is a bit more shiny. Both really good!
Thanks for your video. I love the Chi and the Bedhead, but for me I found the Chi Helmet Head smells better. Myself and the bees will miss the Aussie smell!
I love bedhead that you used that is the only one I use. I have used Vavoom freeze that is a very good hairspray. I love your hair style in this video.
Many thanks for the testing. So happy with the It Mega Freeze for an inexpensive daily spray, The Chi held my straight hair together by the sea on a trip to Ireland, and now I am going to have to try the Bed Head since it landed at the number one spot.
Thank you for sharing this video. This is going to help me a lot with hairspray choices. Always wanted to try the bedhead hairspray. I'm going to give it a try.
Soooooo helpful, thank you for your detail. I am getting low on supplies and don't even know where to start. I will try all of these except for the one that does not smell good. People associate the smell of Aussie with me, and I am sad to lose that. Oh well, life is change!
I lucked out and found Verb hold + volume Strong Hairspray for $5.00. The only drawback is the scent. I am always happy when you post a hair video. Thanks
I stopped using the Aussie Freeze It when they changed formulas last year. The shelves have been bare so I’ve been watching to see if they were changing formulas again. YES!!!!! They went back to the old formula with denatured alcohol as the first ingredient. Walmart had it back in stock yesterday!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE the Bed Head Hard Head Hairspray! I've used it for years, every once in awhile I will try something new, but I always come back to the Hard Head - nothing holds quite as well. I have a lot of hair... and I don't like flat! In general, I love Bed Head and Kenra hair products, but in my humble opinion, Hard Head hairspray is the best.
I live in Louisiana where it is pretty humid most of the time and my go to hairspray is the freeze it original. The freeze it mega hold works very well also.
I love this type of "science experiment"! 💇♀ Your cut is great ... any new tweaks upcoming next salon visit? Thanks for all the great content - - your videos are my favorites.
I've used SG and Freeze it for years, and consider them my 'Steele belted' sprays. I used to use the CHI helmet head but it's hard to find where I live. Haven't tried Bed Head but will look for it.
Bed Head was my go to before I discovered Aussie which I switched to based on price. I love Bed Head but Iim not willing to pay that much. I've been finding the Chi stuff at Marshall's and I really like it!
I've tried so many but I always go back to unscented TreSeme aerosol can. Never sticky or stiff & has great hold that combs out easily & does NOT cause flakes, white build up or dandruff. I also like Nexxus in the gold can with the orange strip. I don't use alot though as I have long hair & love the natural soft touchable feel....& so does my husband. 😊
I just subscribed. Thank you for your reviews. I was an Aussie user as well, and I had been trying different hairsprays -- unsuccessfully. Thanks, as now I know what to try next.
Welcome to my channel! In case you didn't see my YT Short I posted today, Aussie is returning to their old formula!! Should be appearing back on shelves soon🎉
I just came across this today. Thank you so much for making this video. I have been so disappointed with my Aussie lately! Why would they change this formula! I have used it for years, and now I have been on the search for something new with no good results. Can’t wait to try the Bed Head.
I’m sure I’m probably the last one to know but Aussie once again reformulated its Instant Freeze. Its first ingredient is alcohol denat. It has the same grip as the original formula. I picked up two cans at Walmart before Christmas for $4.96 each. It sounds like they heard everybody’s complaints on the reformulation and did their homework to get back close to the original. Nice work to you all who voiced their concerns.
Omg… haven’t even watched this yet and sooo excited to see the content. I only use the Aussie spray you mentioned and can’t find it anywhere. I need an alternative please and thank you.
I love 💗 this. Can you do a tutorial of how you styled your hair for this video? I’ve changed my hair products! The IT one I actually came across. But I’ll try the BEDHEAD! Thank you again.
I had just purchased Chi Helmet Head last week and I LOVE it! I was hoping it was going to be among your selections and I was pleasantly surprised it came in at #2 since I value your opinions!! Yay 😀
I'm finding that Bed Head Hard Head Hairspray is getting hard to find. When you featured it previously I was able to find it with no problem, now that it's been featured as your #1 I'm having a hard time and when I do find it the price is astronomical. I will lose my mind if they quit making it now or change it's formula. After at least 15 years of using Aussie Instant Freeze I'm so glad I found your videos to help me choose a new spray. I do really like Bed head!
Wondering why my Aussie spray wasn’t working! Lol! Ty for sharing this video and your demo! I will probably look for those top sprays. My hair was going flat after a couple hours and I thought I wasn’t using enough product!
Hi Sharalee, thank you for this video. I’m always trying new hairsprays and I’m glad you mentioned scent because that is important to me. Also wanted to say, I love your look with bangs.
I use Bed Head as well, could not ever use the Aussie for the scent, it was too overwhelming as i have fragrance allergies! All Bed Head products rock! Another one of theirs to try is Manipulator!
I used a can of the Hard Head years ago, and my husband nicely asked me if I wouldn't use it anymore because it smelled so bad 😂. Just a warning for anyone sensitive to scents.
Unfortunately not. I cover my bathroom door with a twin size fitted sheet, and the floor with a flat sheet. I just roll them up to store them, and wash them now and again.
This is the perfect time. I was just about to order from the big A my spray because no one sells it where I currently live. However, having to wait until it comes, and paying $25 and up, I am excited to see your choices . Thanks
I bought the Aussie Instant Freeze (alcohol) at your recommendation and don’t like it at all! It goes on far too wet. I’m happy you found a suitable substitute.
I am glad that I am not the only one that thinks that the Aussie instant freeze new formula is awful!!! WHAT were they thinking! I have three unused cans at home because I kept thinking I bought a bad batch. I used it for more than a decade.. never again! My style of picking a hold hairspray, was spraying it in my hand at the store, making a fist and holding it and see if my hand would stick as I tried to open it up. “it” pass that test with flying colors. As you’ve said, the only downside is the fragrance. I also use the generic Kendra strong hold. I will definitely be picking up a can of the Bedhead Hard Head spray. Thank you!
You got me hooked on the Kendra dupe from Sally's Bty. Supply. Its the perfect hold for me, not too stiff. Thanks again for testing all of these out for us. Now I'll have to try out the Bed Head hairspray for when I'm not at work and want to spike it up.👍💖
Thanks Sharalee, for all the testing you have done. I have purchased a couple of the ones you tested...Been waiting for this video! I did purchased the Bed Head Hard Head Extreme hold & I am excited to try it now. I also tried the Got2B glued & it is not the one for me! Thanks again for all you have done...you feel like a sweet friend!
Hi from Australia. I think Silhouette had changed their formula. I used it for years but now it doesn’t have the hold . I am currently using Tresseme 4.

Awww, you are a sweetheart🥰 Thank you for sharing! So happy you have found my videos helpful and inspiring! God bless you too!♥️
They gave you a coupon for the product you don't like?😂 Typical corporate response!
They did that to me too!!!! Coupon Really? I begged them to go back and I also told them that I will never buy ANY of the products again because they will just change that without notice.. I became a stupid crazy lady because I have 5 cans all from diffrernt stores, cities thinking it was just a bad batch.. Im an idiot

Amen, well said! Sharalee is my favorite you-tuber ever. 🥰
Thank you so much for testing all these products. I was so heartbroken when Aussie reformulated our favorite hair spray but you did not give up until you found other great options. Thank you!
I glad I’m not the only one that has changed my hairspray. I was so mad when I bought the new Aussie instant freeze.
I got me some Bed Head, I love it thanks so much for the information you shared.😘

Thoughts on chi helmet head?
Your hair is absolutely adorable. Its so refreshing seeing someome one rocking a pixie these days. So much more elegant and stylish than long hair
She looks great in it too. That's important.
It's always a good day when Sharalee is in the house and on duty! Thank you sweetest lady for your expert advice and teaching us to be as expert as you.
Awww, you are such a sweetheart 🥰♥️
Amen😊

I’ve used Freeze it forever. Love the one with the orange label not purple better. So great for thin hair and can do second day hair just fine
You are the sweetest! Your product reviews are fun, thorough & very helpful.
Thank you for being such
a bright light.
Helmet Head is great!

I was also an Ausie customer for many years. I tried the Bed Head and Love it! Thank you !!
Yeah. I’m so happy you love it as much as I do
Thank you so much!!
Yes Aussie is not good anymore.
And the SG is my go-to be the smell has gotten worse when using curling iron.
I had been searching for so long.
Thank you again. I'm so glad I found your channel!

As a woman of the 80’s I love big hair and hairspray! Bed Head has been my fave for many years! I will be trying the Chi. Thank you for a great video!
It's pretty great. Spray and Play is a little better, but smells worse. Good luck!

Soooooo helpful, thank you for your detail. I am getting low on supplies and don't even know where to start. I will try all of these except for the one that does not smell good. People associate the smell of Aussie with me, and I am sad to lose that. Oh well, life is change!
I lucked out and found Verb hold + volume Strong Hairspray for $5.00. The only drawback is the scent. I am always happy when you post a hair video. Thanks
I stopped using the Aussie Freeze It when they changed formulas last year. The shelves have been bare so I’ve been watching to see if they were changing formulas again. YES!!!!! They went back to the old formula with denatured alcohol as the first ingredient. Walmart had it back in stock yesterday!!
Thank you for looking so long and hard for our Aussie Replacement. I also like your new number 1 just can't believe it's $12 for just 3 Oz.
Watch for sales at Ulta and also keep your eyes out at Marshall's and TJ Maxx...you can get full size cans for around $10😊
Thank you for ALL of this important research!!! Very, very helpful!! 🙋🏼♀️❣️💫👏🏻🎉
Do you have a tutorial on how you did your hair in this video? I love it!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE the Bed Head Hard Head Hairspray! I've used it for years, every once in awhile I will try something new, but I always come back to the Hard Head - nothing holds quite as well. I have a lot of hair... and I don't like flat! In general, I love Bed Head and Kenra hair products, but in my humble opinion, Hard Head hairspray is the best.
Your makeup is so beautiful in this video. So pretty!
I so agree about the Chi. LOVE|LOVE the smell !!!!
I live in Louisiana where it is pretty humid most of the time and my go to hairspray is the freeze it original. The freeze it mega hold works very well also.
What kinda of freeze are you talking about i live in Louisiana too!
Omg freeze it is the best!!!
@@tammytomlinson8968it’s called freeze it mega hairspray. Walmart has it.
I've used the freeze it most all my life. Love it!! Great on long hair and can comb through also.
This is great info!! Thank you for testing all this for us!
I love this type of "science experiment"! 💇♀ Your cut is great ... any new tweaks upcoming next salon visit? Thanks for all the great content - - your videos are my favorites.
Yay!!🥰 Yes, some new tweaks on the way in October and November 😘
You make everyone feel like we are all friends on your videos … talking products and tips. Nothing better! ❤
I love the bed Head hairspray, freeze it looks good but does not hold my hair. Thank you Sharalee. The bed head is the best
I've used SG and Freeze it for years, and consider them my 'Steele belted' sprays. I used to use the CHI helmet head but it's hard to find where I live. Haven't tried Bed Head but will look for it.
Your hair (style, cut, color) is freaking gorgeous!🤩
Bed Head was my go to before I discovered Aussie which I switched to based on price. I love Bed Head but Iim not willing to pay that much. I've been finding the Chi stuff at Marshall's and I really like it!
I've tried so many but I always go back to unscented TreSeme aerosol can. Never sticky or stiff & has great hold that combs out easily & does NOT cause flakes, white build up or dandruff. I also like Nexxus in the gold can with the orange strip. I don't use alot though as I have long hair & love the natural soft touchable feel....& so does my husband. 😊
Great video 👍👍I have used freeze it back in the day and really liked it 💙💛❤💚💜
I thought it was just me! They changed the formula.😮 Thanks for this video!
My favorite hair spray is the redken 28...... it's a bit pricey, but having my very short pixie, it lasts forever..... ❤
I just subscribed. Thank you for your reviews. I was an Aussie user as well, and I had been trying different hairsprays -- unsuccessfully. Thanks, as now I know what to try next.
Welcome to my channel! In case you didn't see my YT Short I posted today, Aussie is returning to their old formula!! Should be appearing back on shelves soon🎉
Actually, now that I follow you, I did see it! Woo Hoo! It's not by me yet, but I will look for it! @@SharaleesBoxOfChocolates
I just came across this today. Thank you so much for making this video. I have been so disappointed with my Aussie lately! Why would they change this formula! I have used it for years, and now I have been on the search for something new with no good results. Can’t wait to try the Bed Head.
I’m sure I’m probably the last one to know but Aussie once again reformulated its Instant Freeze. Its first ingredient is alcohol denat. It has the same grip as the original formula. I picked up two cans at Walmart before Christmas for $4.96 each. It sounds like they heard everybody’s complaints on the reformulation and did their homework to get back close to the original. Nice work to you all who voiced their concerns.
I wish I could find it. I’ve checked Amazon and 3 Walmart’s and a Target and still can’t find it.
I can't find it either
Omg… haven’t even watched this yet and sooo excited to see the content. I only use the Aussie spray you mentioned and can’t find it anywhere. I need an alternative please and thank you.
Love your eye look, beautiful!! You should do a tutorial ❤
I love 💗 this. Can you do a tutorial of how you styled your hair for this video? I’ve changed my hair products! The IT one I actually came across. But I’ll try the BEDHEAD! Thank you again.
I had just purchased Chi Helmet Head last week and I LOVE it! I was hoping it was going to be among your selections and I was pleasantly surprised it came in at #2 since I value your opinions!! Yay 😀
♥️♥️♥️😘
I use it all the time, just wish it smelled better
My favorite hair spray is the Sebastian Shaper ,hold and control hairspray!
I love Sebastian hair spray. Chi ruined my hair!
As soon as you get something you love, they either change the formula or discontinue it.
Great video, thanks for the information, will be buying bed head.
Thank you. I have used all of them. I do use the Bed Head everyday..
I would love to try the Generic for the Kenra 25, but cannot find it anywhere. Any help?
I'm finding that Bed Head Hard Head Hairspray is getting hard to find. When you featured it previously I was able to find it with no problem, now that it's been featured as your #1 I'm having a hard time and when I do find it the price is astronomical. I will lose my mind if they quit making it now or change it's formula. After at least 15 years of using Aussie Instant Freeze I'm so glad I found your videos to help me choose a new spray. I do really like Bed head!
Wondering why my Aussie spray wasn’t working! Lol! Ty for sharing this video and your demo! I will probably look for those top sprays. My hair was going flat after a couple hours and I thought I wasn’t using enough product!
Wonderful review. Sadly all of them are hard to get hold of here in Australia. Still searching for a long lasting hold.
Great video. Thanks… sending you lots of hugs prayers and kindness with positive thoughts 🧡💛🧡🍂
Hi Sharalee, thank you for this video. I’m always trying new hairsprays and I’m glad you mentioned scent because that is important to me. Also wanted to say, I love your look with bangs.
Wonderful!! So glad you found this helpful💗
Hard Head is my favorite! I’ve been using it for years!
I use Bed Head as well, could not ever use the Aussie for the scent, it was too overwhelming as i have fragrance allergies! All Bed Head products rock! Another one of theirs to try is Manipulator!
I used a can of the Hard Head years ago, and my husband nicely asked me if I wouldn't use it anymore because it smelled so bad 😂. Just a warning for anyone sensitive to scents.
Great video! I use Salon Graffix Unscented, it's the blue label.
I'm looking for a hair spray that doesn't leave a residue all over the bathroom and furniture. Is there such a product?
Unfortunately not. I cover my bathroom door with a twin size fitted sheet, and the floor with a flat sheet. I just roll them up to store them, and wash them now and again.
This is the perfect time. I was just about to order from the big A my spray because no one sells it where I currently live. However, having to wait until it comes, and paying $25 and up, I am excited to see your choices . Thanks
I bought the Aussie Instant Freeze (alcohol) at your recommendation and don’t like it at all! It goes on far too wet. I’m happy you found a suitable substitute.
I am glad that I am not the only one that thinks that the Aussie instant freeze new formula is awful!!! WHAT were they thinking!
I have three unused cans at home because I kept thinking I bought a bad batch.
I used it for more than a decade.. never again!
My style of picking a hold hairspray, was spraying it in my hand at the store, making a fist and holding it and see if my hand would stick as I tried to open it up. “it” pass that test with flying colors. As you’ve said, the only downside is the fragrance.
I also use the generic Kendra strong hold.
I will definitely be picking up a can of the Bedhead Hard Head spray.
Thank you!
I bought the Bedhead Hard head today!
I love the original Aussie Instant Freeze on my pixie too.
You got me hooked on the Kendra dupe from Sally's Bty. Supply. Its the perfect hold for me, not too stiff. Thanks again for testing all of these out for us. Now I'll have to try out the Bed Head hairspray for when I'm not at work and want to spike it up.👍💖
I absolutely Love Kenra 25 and it lasts forever!!! I have thin fine hair and it works well!
what lipstick are you wearing in the video?
Thank you so much, I’ve been looking for a good hairspray 👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks Sharalee, for all the testing you have done. I have purchased a couple of the ones you tested...Been waiting for this video! I did purchased the Bed Head Hard Head Extreme hold & I am excited to try it now. I also tried the Got2B glued & it is not the one for me! Thanks again for all you have done...you feel like a sweet friend!
You are so sweet🥰♥️
Thank you so much. Very helpful. Going to try some of them. ❤
Hi from Australia. I think Silhouette had changed their formula. I used it for years but now it doesn’t have the hold . I am currently using Tresseme 4.
also like it
Thank you for your recommendations!!
Good video Sharalee. How is Miss Gracie doing in training?
Instant Freeze is BACK! I got it today at Target… the first ingredient is alcohol again… FINALLY! 🎉
