Hairdresser Barney Martin loves hairspray. Loves it. And he's certainlyno slouch when it comes to using his favourite product to achieve a sleek, shiny finish. His favourite styling secret: After blow-drying, spritz a little of your hairspray onto a foldedtissue and use it to smooth away frizz and flyaways. Martin swears itwill keep locks in check and static-free all day long. Easy!

Used this before, and love it.
Or you could try spraying a little bit on your comb, and combing it through?

Clever, simple, effective & oh, so clever! Why didn't I think of this? glamourcat, Till now I seem to use your technique with the spray onto fingers, pat down method. Works also.....

i agree, great idea!
have to be careful how much u put on the tissue,
i hate it when little bits break off!

I do something similar but spray it onto a large velcro roller.... yes i have a velcro roller.... and just use it as a brush. It works well because it doesn't ruin the design because the bristley bits arent long enough to change it but it puts any strays in place..

Frizz is my enemy as well! Shall have to try this some time since I usually shun hair spray.

haha miss-jadee, i too have a velcro roller. infact i have about 1 dozen. never use them but i have them anyway. lol.
i spray my hands and smooth through but i like the idea of the tissue instead, less sticky and all that. :)
