Rock hard hair spray required

Hello, NanKateI , Gce of some volume, but it went back to the same flatno-character building style, stuck to my head thing.
So, I decided to have a gentle perm(demi-wave). Result!My hair is so much easier to manage; I am very pleased with it, and people all compliment me on looking so much better, it suits you, etc.I,me Happy!

Sorry; don't know what happened to the first half of my post.Must have touched something I shouldn't......On the keyboard, I mean!
I meant to say, my hair has always been hard to manage, being flat, lacking volume.Tried everything.My friend eventually persuaded me to go to her very expensive hairdresser and get a fashionable cut.Followed her advice, but my hair eventually assumed its natural position, and I was penniless! Anyway, now read the last part of message(above) to see happy result. Apologies.

I took the advice of Agus and tried out Fat Face products from Superdrug and have been very pleased with the results although my hair is very long it has loads of volume and bounce so thanks for that Agus,it certainly does you good when people compliment you doesn't it liminetta it sounds as though you are very pleased with your results.

I don't like lacquers that set my hair like concrete. A hairdresser once used a spray that kept my hair feeling soft but kept it in place. I changed hairdressers after that because I didn't like his cut, so I've never found out what that hairspray was. Any suggestions?

Glad you like it Glamma. I found the usual mousse too soft for my hair and when my hairdresser's supplier discontinued their gel to mousse I scoured the shops realising gel to mousse was hard to find then I did eventually find the perfect solution with the Fat Face products.

I went and bought some Fat Hair products, and if you think Elnett spray smells bad, you haven't tried the Fat Hair spray!

Liminetta I used to have perms and for a while my hair looked good but by about week 6 it was losing its bounce, so now I am a convert to Fat Hair and the smell is ok for me and it does the trick.

Now onto colour as I have gone grey/white haired the progress has been different e.g. darker at back than the front, fringe darker than hair on top and I really like it, similar to the highlights I used to have. Even the hairdressers has commented on it. I do realise this won't last but it is nice that at the age of 67 I am satisfied with the colour.
