Frozen Hair that Doesn't Move with Aussie Instant Freeze Hair Spray

I bought my Aussie Instant Freeze Hair Spray in Walgreen's drugstore for $2.99. At the time they had a register coupon that gave me $2, for a purchase in the next 2 weeks. At 99 cents I figured it was a great buy.

I spend a lot of time getting my hair into a French Twist, and so when I have it right, I want it to stay. That is why I purchased this 'Extreme Hold' product.

It comes in a purple colored metal can, and has the Aussie logo, which makes it look like a fun product. The net weight is 7 ounces (198 g).

I looked on the back of the bottle before using it and it says:

"Instant Freeze. It's hair spray. You spray it on your hair. Styling should always be so straightforward".

So I held the bottle, took off the plastic cap, and pressed down on the button. Lots of spray came out on my hair. It looked wet, and when I touched it 20 seconds later, it was still wet. It took over a minute to dry.

My hair was rock hard, and nothing was going to move it. That was a good thing, but it didn't look natural, like my other hairsprays.

I went out and my hair stayed in place, so it did what was asked of it.

The following day my hair hadn't fallen down, so I just neatened up the pins, in the back. I gave my hair just a quick go over with the Aussie spray.

Normally I wash my hair every 5 days, but by the third day my hair was looking dry, and matted. I took it down, and then tried to brush it, to get the hairspray out. Normally I might have a little flaking from the hair spray, but this was ridicules. I had a job to get the brush through my hair, and then so much broken hair, and flakes, that I wanted to cry.

This is what Aussie have on their website:

"Infused with natural Australian Wild Cherry Bark Extract, Instant Freeze Hair Spray helps maintain a well-styled 'do with maximum hold and small-time fuss. "

I can't deny that it holds, but when you can't get it out of your hair, before washing it, then this hair spray has to go.

They do have a satisfaction guarantee or your money back, but as I only paid 99 cents for it, I won't be packing it up, and mailing it back to them. It's just too much trouble.
