Lily Of The Desert Natural Hold Aloe Vera Hair Spray for All - Unscented, Alcohol-Free, Non-Aerosol, 8 Fl Oz

Now that I’ve been using this product for a few days, I’m updating my review and I give it 5 stars. It doesn’t have a sickly perfume stench like most of the big name, drug store brands do, and it works quite well. I use it as a hair spray (after drying) rather than as a styling spray (which would be sprayed on wet hair). It holds very well even though I have fine, straight hair, which is hard to hold. It has a very mild, plant-like smell because of the natural ingredients, and I am very, very happy with this spray. At first, the sprayer created a sort of droplet-like spray, but after a few sprays, it’s working well now. YES, I will buy this again. Big thank you to this company for creating a spray with more natural ingredients. It’s actually quite miraculous, in my opinion.

Love the hold it gives. Leaves hair soft, yet not stiff. Really like that there is not a harsh smell that won’t give me a headache since I’m very sensitive to smell.

Wow, I was so amazed when I tried this hair spray! I have tried so many types and ended up with flat, sticky or crispy hair after using heat appliances. I have both fine and thin hair. This worked so well for me. Not gooey or sticky after a few days and hair even did not stick together when I applied heat after using several days. For me, it also added volume and has great staying power. Love that it is a pretty clean and natural product. Win, win for me:). I have tried so many products with poor results. Would recommend this for others with fine, thin hair.

No strong smell

What a terrible disappointment! I was a long-time user of the previous formulation of Lily of the Desert Aloe 80 Styling Spray. I never used it has hair spray, but my fine, thin hair was boosted significantly by spraying this product on damp hair, drying and then styling. Since there was literally nothing else on the market that provided such excellent support without fragrance, I got a sinking feeling when I went to order my next batch and found that the product was being discontinued. I stocked up on enough to last me for a while, then went on a hunt for something, anything to take it's place. There isn't anything. Then I saw the ad for this product, new bottle, same name, oh happy day! But when I used it for the first time, it had this funky, sour smell that lingered unpleasantly even after my hair was dry, a huge contrast to the fresh aloe smell of the old product. And when my hair was dry, it was as soft and limp as before I sprayed anything on it. Two strikes. Bad smell, no body. I tried to figure out why a company would discontinue a great product, then reengineer it to make it worse. I suspect the cost cutting scenario listed in the review below is likely, but STILL! Who would want it? Why go to the trouble of creating a product that doesn't work an ANY level? Charge us more for the quality, don't give us a lousy substitute under the same name. Seriously! Amazon has been great, issued a refund...thanks, guys...but Lily of the Desert has made a serious misstep.

Doesn’t hold hair in place but smells great.

As I get older, I am always looking for products with fewer harmful ingredients, and this hairspray checks many of those boxes. It is alcohol-free, non-aerosol, and not stinky at all—in fact, it has a very pleasant, light smell. It provides good hold, is affordable, and works well for everyday use. I have already gone through three or four bottles and will continue to buy it and recommend it to others. I also appreciate that it’s not an aerosol, which is better for the environment. So many good things to say about this product!

Truly fragrance-free and holds just fine.

Not the typical hairspray, however holds hair welll after blow drying.

Love this product. Have used it for years as I can use no other hair products, as I am allergic to the fragrance and alcohol in them. This is very safe for me to use. You can spray it on damp hair and let dry naturally and it looks great. You can also spray on damp hair and then use a hairdryer, and then use it as a finishing spray. I find if you lift up a piece of hair, spray lightly and not too closely, then hold for a few seconds before letting the hair back down it has a chance to keep the shape and works better. Highly recommend this product.
