I love matrix products and this hairspray does not disappoint! It has a strong hold without being crunchy or super sticky. Now, if you do spray too close to the surface, it can get crunchy. It is a little bit tacky for a few seconds until it sets but once it's set, you get a long wear hold. The price of this product is very affordable. It does have a scent to it that could bother some people. If you have problems with scented products, this hairspray isn't for you. For those of us who like scented products, you will enjoy the fresh scent of this spray.
