I received this hair spray as part of a gift basket from Pantene and Chickadvisor. When it comes to hair spray I tend not to stay loyal to only one particular product for too long. I find that as soon as you like one, something better is coming along after it, that either holds better, smells nicer, or doesn't make your hair crunchy. This is my hairspray of the moment because it does all of the above. Best of all I think Pantene really understands what curly hair needs from a hairspray -- that is, it needs to have a strong enough hold to keep curls in place, but at the same time a light enough finish that it doesn't make your hair crunchy (efectively making your curls look unnatural) or weight it down. I would definitely purchase this product again because it does everything I need it to do.
