I have not tried the Blow, Dry Bar in New York (I will for sure when I’m there for Fashion Week!) but I did get a bottle of their non-stick hairspray formulated for blowouts. Whenever you get blowouts, they grab a section of hair, spray hairspray on it then work on it. And they move on the the next section. You can imagine after doing this to your whole head of hair, you end up with A LOT of hairspray in your hair. I hate that stuck hairspray feel, or even the heavy sticky feel when it supposedly still flows freely. But this is truly the most weightless hairspray I’ve ever used. I didn’t get a professional blow out, I just used it at home, so I’m sure I didn’t spray as much as they would have in a salon but I still made a pass on every section of hair I worked on and the result was pretty light and free flowing. Did it feel like I had no hairspray? No, but I wasn’t weighed down by an abundance of gunk. When used as just a finished spray, you get a very light coverage that still gives you prolonged style and volume. All in all, I’m happy with this and will be using this when I’m doing “special” hair. At Durgstore for $19.75.
If you go to the UES Blow you’ll have to stop by my apartment and say hello…I live 3 blocks away!
I’m really curious about this product. The whole no-stick thing is really appealing, especially for someone with a lot of baby hair and frizz. Thanks for posting this! If you’re looking for other beauty tips, make sure to check out Fit&FabLiving – http://www.fitandfabliving.com – Thanks!
I have thin, fly away hair that can’t handle a lot of product. What works for me is the Shielo Flexible Hair Spray. This hairspray is perfect – it’s super light and smells great. You can still work with your hair afterwards. If you are looking for a stiffer hairspray, I would not recommend this. This one is great for curls that you don’t want to douse in nasty stick hairspray or weigh down.
