    This is a great hairspray from Aveda. It comes in an aerosol can and gives firm hold that doesn't look or feel stiff. I find a little goes a long way, and it comes in a massive sized bottle. I used...

    Love it! Keeps my hair up! OK, so it gets sticky and hard if I spray too close or too long. But it works! In fact, it works so well that my son is stealing it from me! But this is such a huge...

    Excellent at keeping my fauxhawk in place! Too bad it's so expensive, boooo. I've since switched to TRESemme TRES Two Spray extra hold and that is a pretty good substitute at a very reasonable price.

    Great hairspray - horrible smell. Strong hairspray scent mixed with something else... BO? However I don't find that the smell lingers so it's okay. But I wish they would change the scent.

    Negatives - there is way too much liquid in the spray which ends up on your hair, unless this is the so called "wet look". - pricey - surprisingly, not a good smell for an aveda...

    Good performance, but can't get past the strong smell. And I have never before met an Aveda product that I didn't adore the scent of. That's probably at least half the reason I buy them, seriously....

    As far as functionality goes - it does exactly what a hairspray is supposed to do. It held my style in place for a good portion of the day. It really was weightless and did not make my hair feel...

    Good versatile hairspray. Actually more of a medium hold than firm. Great for finishing blowouts.

    Wish MUA had a "maybe" repurchase option because that's how I feel about Control Force. I've been buying Aveda products for over a decade, although I would not call anything I've ever used HG...

    I bought this after having an updo done for my cousin's wedding. Little did I know, I wouldn't need it because the stylist already sprayed the **** out of my hair. I took the bobby pins out and my...

    meh. It's a firm hold HS that can still get sticky and build up over time. Yes it gives volume and yes it has organic aromas in it but it also costs almost three times as much as many other...

    I was in the Aveda store and the SA offered to show me how this worked. I went in there with "gym hair" and came out with this awesome volume. I have a POB haircut, angled bob. The problem is I...

    I really want to like this. It's not sticky, holds my hair and fights humidity. But it makes my scalp itch terribly. Back to the drawing board!
