I would take the 'perfume' out of Elnett hairspray. .....

Rhanks for the tips re hairspay!

The Elnett with no smell is the supreme hold one........navy blue stripe round top. Its on offer at super drug online :-)

I like John Freida's Shape and Shine hair spray. It is non aerosol, just pumped, and a container lasts me ages

And there I was thinking I was the only one that hates the smell. It may brush out but the smell lingers and gets into clothes.

I stopped using Elnett a few years ago because of the smell (like stale cigarettes!) and since then have used whatever has been on offer. I recently started using the Aldi one and agree that it's very good at a fraction of the cost of Elnett.

I must have some part of my olfactory sense missing as I have never noticed the smell of Elnett Hairspray, though I have used it for years. Going upstairs in a mo to experiment.

I would like to go back to powdered toilet cleaner like harpic rather than liquid form which is all I can find on the shelves now.

I haven't seen anyone use hairspray since the 1980s, had no idea it was still used! What else have I missed by using only Nivea cream, deodorant and baby shampoo?

I use l'Oreal Elnett hairspray in the white tin as the stuff in the gold tin smells awful. However, nearly every shop has stopped selling the white and has gone over to the gold.

If no one on this thread is using it either, then who are they selling it to?

I am not sure what I would improve about any particular product but I definitely have some grumps about changes that have been made for the worse. I hate that sweets and ice creams now come in plastic wrappers. Half of the pleasure of a Kitkat came from the silver paper and the paper sleeve. As for ice creams in plastic, the product is squashed removing it from the sealed wrapper.

Meat in airtight suction-sealed plastic is almost impossible to extract without risking one's fingers with the knife or scissors employed.

Squeezy jam? My daughter, when young, refused to eat any other kind as it had 'bits' in. But really, what an abomination! Ditto squeezy anything: Marmite, mustard, mayonnaise.

Can't get the unperfumed Elnett anywhere. Thought they had stopped making it!

harrysgran I used to live the smell of Flash when it was a powder. Not seen it for years.
I'm sure it was much more economical than liquids/sprays which is probably why they stopped manufacturing it

Love the smell!

This is the one for those who want an unfragranced Elnett, on offer at the moment in Boots: www.boots.com/en/LOreal-Elnett-Unfragranced-Extra-Strength-Hairspray-200ml_867563/

Flash powder was fantastic for getting rid of the smell of vomit (especially in the car ?), nothing works so wel.

I agree about powdered Flash, it was wonderful stuff and seemed to last forever. I also used to love the clean smell of powdered Ajax or Vim - they worked a treat too.

As for hairspray, I'm amazed at how many people on here use it. Can't stand the stuff myself, I like to feel the wind in my hair.

The trouble is indi when I feel the wind in my hair I know I'm going to look like the wreck of the hesperus
