Lightweight Hairspray That Gives All-Day Hold
Lightweight Hairspray That Gives All-Day Hold The Contenders:
L'Oréal Professionnel Infinium 3 Strong Hold Natural Touch Anti-Frizz Finishing Spray, $25.50, vs. L'Oréal Elnett Satin Hairpsray, $14.99

The Breakdown:
L'Oréal Elnett is a timeless favorite among the masses, but stylists swear by the Professionnel. Side-by-side, these hairsprays are almost identical — down to the shape and design of the spray bottle. And the formulas are equally impressive, both providing long-lasting hold, while leaving hair soft and sleek — not hard or sticky at all. Even after I ran full-speed to refill a parking meter in time, my curls (sprayed half with Elnett, half with Pro) were still touchable and intact. Though the Pro has a slightly more salon-like smell, overall, the Elnett is an equal match.

The Winner:
L'Oreal Elnett Satin Hairpsray
