**Question:** Which hairspray holds all day?

**Short answer:** Sexy Hair Spray & Play Volumizing Hairspray has the best record for all-day hold: 25 of 26 reviewers said it held their style. Pureology Lock It Down Hairspray (26 of 29) and Redken Max Hold Hairspray (25 of 28) are close behind. Amika Fluxus Touchable Hairspray has the highest share, at 100%, but from a small group of reviewers, so treat that one with care.
