GIOVANNI Hair Spray

GIOVANNI Hair Spray Buying Guide

Hair spray usually comes near the end of styling, after you've created the basic shape, texture or volume you want. These points will help you decide which GIOVANNI hair spray fits that final step.

Decide how much hold you want

Start with the hairstyle rather than automatically reaching for the strongest hold. A loose style with natural movement may need less control than shaped sections or a deliberately structured finish. GIOVANNI L.A. Hold Hair Spritz is the maximum-hold option in this collection, making it the one to consider when maintaining a more firmly controlled style is the priority.

The amount you apply matters too. L.A. Hold can be built gradually, so a light mist can be used when you want less product, with another application added when the style needs more support.

Think about the finished look and feel

Hold describes only part of what you may want from a finishing spray. Consider whether you want the hair to retain movement or sit in a more deliberately held shape. If volume is the main aim, GIOVANNI 2chic Ultra-Volume Big Body Hair Spray is the more relevant option in the current collection, particularly for fine or limp hair.

Specific finish and performance claims vary between the formulas. Choosing according to the stated purpose of the individual spray is more useful than treating every GIOVANNI hairspray as interchangeable.

Consider what you're trying to hold in place

A loose hairstyle, curls, added volume and precisely shaped sections place different demands on a finishing product. Think about where the style tends to lose its shape and how much movement you want to keep. You may need a light, even application over a finished style, or more targeted support around particular sections.

Hair type can influence your experience as well. Fine hair may be more focused on maintaining lift without using more product than necessary, while a structured style may call for firmer control. Weather, application amount and the products used underneath can also affect the finished result.

Think about the styling products underneath

Hair spray doesn't need to perform every styling job. Mousse may be used while creating body, gel for shape or definition, and wax for working particular sections. Hair spray can then provide the finishing layer that helps maintain the completed style.

If you're still deciding which format should create the foundation of your hairstyle, the broader GIOVANNI Styling Products collection is the best place to start. Choosing products for separate jobs can give you more control than relying on finishing spray alone.

Choose a size for where you'll use it

GIOVANNI L.A. Hold is available in a 147 mL full-size spray and a travel mini. The larger bottle suits regular use at home, while the mini is easier to keep in a small handbag or clutch when space matters. A travel-sized container doesn't automatically meet every airline's requirements, so confirm current restrictions with your carrier before flying.

The 2chic Ultra-Volume Big Body Hair Spray comes in a full-size format. It suits customers choosing primarily according to its volume-focused styling role rather than looking for the compact version of L.A. Hold.

Follow the directions for your chosen spray

Application distance and recommendations for damp or dry hair can vary between styling sprays. Use the directions supplied with the individual product rather than applying every formula in exactly the same way. The current GIOVANNI hair sprays contain alcohol and are flammable, so keep them away from heat and ignition sources during use and storage.
