"I am picky, picky about hair sprays. Most seem to dull my hair, but not this one. My hair retains it's shine after using this product. I also like that it holds my hair well. There is nothing not to like about it. I will buy it again. Great product."

Love this hairspray!!, September 13, 2009

"I love this hairspray. It gives a really good hold and also smells nice. I used to use Giovanni's hairspray but the bottle got smaller and the price went up!! This gives me the same hold for a better price."

"This hairspray works so well for my hair! My hair is very fine and sort of frizzy but I seem to have a lot of it! This hairspray holds when I need it to all day. Days when I just want to wear a ponytail or wear my hair down I spritz a bit of the hairspray at my roots and at the ends. I have body at the roots and spraying at the ends defines the natural wave in my hair, all while controling the frizz! I really appreciate that the fragrance is very light and I don't find it offensive at all (especially compaired to all the other hairsprays I've tried!)."

"The product reads "medium hold", but, it holds as well as a maximum hold hairspray. It's not drying like a typical hairspray and it works great and has a light scent. I would definitely buy this product again."

"Alba Botanica Medium Hair Spray is by far the best natural hairspray I have found! Maybe even the best hairspray natural or not. I've used professional brand hairsprays for a while before switching natural. Then I tried Dove hairspray and Aubrey Organics Natural Missst Super Hold Hair Spray. While the Dove worked well (but wasn't totally natural), the Aubrey didn't work well and smelt bad.

So I found Alba hairspray and it works perfect! Not toxic smelling, a subtle smell that goes away quickly. Holds hair great, especially curly hair. Highly suggested!!
