An alternative to hair spray?

[FilleDeVanille]

When I style my hair, I of course want the style to hold, so it wasn't a complete waste of time, and there hair spray would do the trick. Unfortunately hair spray completely dries out my hair, and it's dry enough already. I think it's all the alcohol. Well my question is: Is there an alternative to hair spray? A product that gives hold, but doesn't dry out the hair?

there are a lot of products that you can put in prior to styling to help with the hold.

this depends on the style you are doing like gels and mouses for curls

pomades are great for structured up-do's or piecy looks.

i also find that a very light misting of leave in conditioner spray can act as a hairspray on dry hair

It's mostly for when I'm curling my hair. Can you recommend a product? (Preferably not with a lot of alcohol).

I like spray gels. The one I use has really good hold, and it doesnt tend to be as drying as my hairspray. I use one by Ion.

Thanks! It seems perfect! Unfortunately I don't live in the US, and they don't accept foreign Visa or PayPal, and other payment methods are too risky.
Does anyone know where I can buy this from an European netshop

If you cant find an alcohol free hairspray, I second an alcohol free spray gel, they are easier to find and it doesn't feel crispy or sticky, works the same basically.

Just read the bottles, it should say right on it if its alcohol free, as companies like to boast about that lol. If not you could always read over the ingrediants. I had an alcohol free spray gel by Loreal so I know they are out there lol, as well I use an alcohol free gel by Frizz Ease and mousse by Tresemme for my curls.

Thank you for your advice!

Maybe I'll use a alcohol free spray gel next time, if it's just as hard to find an alcohol free hair spray then, as it is now. However, I found one from Nexxus, and found some sellers on eBay. The shipping was more expensive than the product itself, but I decided to buy it anyway. Hell, I'm used to expensive stuff anyway, as I'm from Denmark, haha.
