11 Best Hairsprays That Won't Make Your Hair Feel Like a Helmet

This eco-friendly, non-aerosol hairspray is powered by air instead of the harmful greenhouse gases traditional hairsprays use. Even better: It's made with organic and natural ingredients, like coconut oil, coconut milk, and jasmine, to give your hair light hold without bombarding it with a ton of chemicals.

My biggest beef with most hairsprays is that they leave my hair looking and feeling crunchy as hell. Yuck. But honestly? This new hairspray from Pantene doesn't create stiffness or stickiness at all. It has a soft, flexible finish that's perfect for smoothing frizz and flyaways.

If you have fine or thin hair, and you style it on the reg, this is hands down the best hairspray option for you. Spray it on to lock your style in place, smooth down frizz and flyaways, and the bamboo fibers will give it extra volume.

Thick, curly hair will love this moisturizing hairspray mist from SheaMoisture. The gentle, hydrating formula smooths and softens hair while providing light hold and protecting it from environmental aggressors (hi pollution and UV rays) with a combo of proteins, neem oil, coconut oil, and hibiscus extract.

This flexible hairspray from Living Proof is ideal for days when you're doing multiple styles. It can be used on damp or dry hair and will keep the shape of whatever look you're going for (updos, beachy waves, you name it), but isn't so stiff or strong that you can't switch things up without having to wash your hair first.

First of all, you gotta just trust me. But if you still don't, then at least trust this lightweight hairspray. It gives you that flexible-yet-natural hold that keeps flyaways in place without feeling like a helmet, and never, ever, ever feels sticky or crunchy. Promise.

If you can't deal with a strong-hold hairspray because you're always touching, twirling, and combing your hair, then try this crunch-free formula. It contains a touch of mimosa oil to add shine and flexibility, while still keeping your flyaways in place.

This semi-strong hairspray is filled with Moroccanoil's iconic argan oil, which helps mitigate the drying effects of hairspray by coating your strands in a sheer layer of moisture. Bonus: It'll give you a super-reflective finish, too.

Sometimes bigger is better—at least, when it comes to hair. This volumizing hairspray contains vitamin B5, which conditions hair and gives it a little textured boost, along with amp copolymer, which leaves it with extra hold. Flip your head upside down, spray it all over, wait 10 full seconds for it to dry, then flip your hair back. Va-va-voluminous.

You know when you're walking outside, feelin' yourself, pretending that the sidewalk is a mini-catwalk, and then BOOM—a gust of wind hits, and your runway-ready hair is ruined? Well, this hairspray from Redken is here for you. It resists humidity and keeps your style totally locked in place, so you can strut without fear of the elements.

This cult-classic hairspray gives you an ultra-strong, glossy hold that will last through a New Year's Eve in Miami (speaking from experience, here), without any of the heaviness or stickiness that you usually get with strong-hold hairsprays. Plus, it's color-safe.
