My new favorite hairspray (with photos!)

Whenever I start to feel a bit frumpy, I hightail it to the salon for a fresh haircut.

Conveniently, one of my best friends happens to be a hairdresser; it’s just a matter of texting her “tell me if you get any cancellations this week!!” An added plus, my mom was in town all last week to babysit.

(Although I’d pay a babysitter for a little time away at the salon if that was necessary.)

Jenny fit me in on Friday. (FAREWELL, FRUMP!)

So, anyway, just for fun, here are the before & after shots.

BEFORE (blown dry, not styled at. all.):

AFTER:

But that’s really not what I wanted to talk about today. After she dried my hair and used her straight iron on it, Jenny sprayed me with a little Kenra #9:

Now, I’ve been using Kenra forever, but in the #25 – which is basically freeze spray. I only use it for up-dos and special occasions.

#9, however, is much lighter (as in, you can still swing your hair around) but held in the style and smelled SO GOOD. I mean, so, so good. She said #9 is the only one of their line that smells like that.

From the website:

  • Controls frizz and fly-away hairs.
  • Lightweight, brushable formula will not weigh hair down.
  • Provides light control for moveable styles

Hmm, I may become a product junkie after all!

  1. Looks good!!!

  2. Cute hair! I also love getting my hair done and would pay a sitter if needed. Usually I don’t have to though. And my husband has never suggested we cut my hair upkeep from the budget, so even he recognizes what it does for my mood. 😉

  3. I’m sad Sally’s doesn’t have this. I’d love to try it. Always looking for a great hairspray {just like my endless search for the perfect mascara}!

    So great! Man, your hair grows fast! #9, you say? Perhaps the luscious scent comes from a little “Love Potion #9” in there?

  5. I love the smell of #9 – strawberries.

    I hate to admit it, but I’m pretty into #25 for every day (I don’t need much, but still? love it).

  6. I am in DESPERATE need of control for the ever present darker hairs that want to stick out everywhere…thanks for the recommendation!

  7. I love all the Kenra products. My faves are the #25 hairspray, the taffy, and silkening gloss.
