Remember The Big Bang Theory episode where Sheldon and Howard are at the comic bookstore, combing through a container of comic books, alternately saying “got it” on repeat as their fingers inch towards the middle of the collection and land on an issue neither one of them has? Well, the pause and compelling impulse/need to own the comic book that followed describes exactly how we feel about JVN’s Perfect FlexHold Strengthening Hairspray. And no, we’re not being television-style dramatic.
Created by celebrity hairstylist and Queer Eye favourite Jonathan Van Ness, this hairspray is not only performance-driven it is loaded with science-backed ingredients. The standout, hydrolyzed quinoa, a plant-based protein that helps strengthen our hair, support colour retention and protect against breakage. Advanced FlexHold polymers create flexible structure and humidity resistance, while hemisqualane, a silicone alternative derived from sugarcane, smooths our style, boosts shine and helps prevent dryness without weighing strands down. A win-win in our opinion.
But the benefits don’t stop there. The hairspray also delivers flexible, buildable hold that keeps our every hair in place without making it sticky, stiff or look like a throwback to the big-bang ’80s. Rather, its superfine mist allows movement, bounce and touchability while helping control frizz, humidity and flyaways for up to 72 hours. Plus, the vegan, and silicone and sulphate-free formula smells incredible, like warm sandalwood and amber layered with jasmine, bergamot and cassis.
You can understand why we needed/wanted it and now, we’ve “got it.”
JVN Perfect FlexHold Strengthening Hairspray, $39.50 for 266 ml each, available at Sephora.
