The Hairspray That Makes Professionals All Giddy

We already told you about the official cocktail of Fashion Week, but here’s a little insider info on the unofficial behind-the-scenes hair product: L’Oreal‘s Elnett hairspray. Up until last year, the cult product was only available in Europe—hairdressers the world over would literally stock up on cases of the stuff and send it back home, which we’re pretty sure is a customs nightmare, but anyway. Why are they so dang obsessed with it? Even though it boasts runway-strong hold (think of some of the crazy ‘dos we’ve seen come down the catwalk), it leaves hair feeling soft and looking glossy, and you can totally brush it out and start all over again if you mess up somehow. You may have noticed that backstage most of the hairdressers are sponsored; so they kind of have to stick to using the products they’re given. But we totally spotted some cheater cheater pumpkin eaters busting the Elnett on the DL. Best of all, it’s now much easier to get in on the action. At $15 (here at Target), it’s not cheap, but then again, it beats the cost of a round trip to Paris.

I’ve used it before and i don’t see what all the fuss is about, i find it smells a lot more than other brands and for round about the same price i can get a can twice the size with Tresemme.
It does brush out easily though compared to other brands but i can’t get past the smell.

Apparently the formula is a little different in the US so it’s not exactly the same stuff everyone in Europe is so crazy for. That being said, it *is* the best hairspray I’ve ever used and I plan on sticking with it. I haven’t used it in a while but if I remember correctly, it smells kind of old-ladyish, but it faded quickly.
