No. 2: Dove Aerosol Extra Hold Hairspray, $4.29 TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 5.9*
Why: "Where is the extra hold?" ask readers about this spray. "This hairspray claims to have extra hold but it's mild at best. I have thin, fine hair too, so it's usually easy to keep in place. It also makes my hair oily for some reason. I would say if you are looking for a hairspray that will actually hold your hair, look elsewhere." Another reader says, "It actually dries my hair out so I would not buy it again. Plus it smells very fruity -- not my cup of tea." One woman says, "bottom line: I don't care for this product. I tend to use extra-hold sprays since I have very fine hair that holds nothing. I have used this product so many times with the hope that it will work. An hour after doing my hair I have no curls left. I was definitely disappointed. I am switching back to my other hairspray."

I am really shocked because the John Frieda Frizz Ease works wonders in my naturally wavy hair. I spray it all over my hair while it's still damp, clip it up, and when i take it out it's just curls and waves. But I'm sorry others don't like it!
