Holding spray – lock in volume, curls, and updos
A good holding spray is the key to making your hairstyle last while keeping your hair looking natural and healthy. Whether you need a light hold for soft waves, a firm hold for a sleek updo, or extra volume at the roots, choosing the right hairspray makes all the difference. At Maria Nila, we believe in professional-quality hair care that is kind to both your hair and the planet, offering vegan, cruelty-free, and climate-compensated styling products.
Finding the perfect hold for your style
Not all holding sprays are created equal, and the right one depends on what kind of style you're going for. Here’s how to choose:
- For natural movement – A light-hold spray, like our Styling Spray, is perfect if you want to enhance your style without making it feel stiff. It helps reduce frizz and adds shine while keeping some natural movement in the hair.
- For long-lasting styling – If you’re creating an updo or curls that need staying power, the Finishing Spray provides a stronger hold that keeps your look intact while still being easy to brush out.
- For extra strong hold – Some styles demand maximum control, like sleek ponytails or voluminous updos. The Extreme Spray locks everything in place with a firm hold that lasts all night.
- For volume and lift – If you want to boost volume at the roots, the Volume Spray gives your hair a fuller, more lifted look without feeling heavy or sticky. Use on roots in wet hair and blow dry for best effect.
How to use holding spray for the best results
Getting the best out of your hairspray isn’t just about choosing the right one—it’s also about how you use it. Here are some simple tips:
Keep your hair soft and natural
If you love movement in your hair, hold the spray about 12 inches (30 cm) away and mist lightly. This keeps your hair from feeling weighed down and allows for flexible hold.
Build hold gradually
For more structured styles, apply your holding spray in layers. Start with a light mist, let it dry, and then add more if needed. This ensures a strong hold without making your hair feel stiff or crunchy.
Lock in curls or waves
If you want your curls to last, spray each section lightly before curling and then again once you’re done. This will help your style hold longer without feeling overloaded.
Add volume without stiffness
For extra volume, spray a volumizing spray directly at the roots of damp hair before blow-drying. This lifts the hair while keeping it soft and manageable.
A finishing touch that cares for your hair
At Maria Nila, we believe that styling products should be as caring as they are effective. That’s why all our holding sprays are free from sulfates and parabens, made with 100% vegan ingredients, and packed with Color Guard Complex to protect your hair from UV damage and fading.
