Posted by dulwichmum on Thu 2 September 2010

Name of product: Elnett Satin Hairspray Limited Edition (Cheryl Cole) – L’Oreal

Price: £3.49 for 200ml

The blurb: “The most beautiful hairstyles deserve to shine like Cheryl! NEW Elnett Cheryl Limited Edition Diamond Hold hairspray offers your hairstyle an ultimate, long-lasting hold with smooth, diamond shine and is still soft to touch. Its unique micro-diffused spray is ultra fine and disappears at the stroke of a brush, leaving hair feeling soft and shiny. Protects your style with perfect long-lasting hold”

First impressions: My first impression when confronted with this hairspray was: Elnett have at last evolved and although they have stuck to the shape, size and spray nozzle that I remember experimenting with on my Grandmothers dressing table. The limited addition pink spray with the black nozzle and detai,l certainly looks a little different to their range of products and harks back to the classic gold with a white nozzle that has adorned many a lady’s dressing table over the generations. I must admit that the association with Cheryl Cole,“The hair extension queen”, does not impart any qudos here… I wouldn’t believe a word she says about any product

Ease of Use: Simple! Just spray from 30cms away in short bursts and the spray is effective and easy to direct

Pros: This hairspray really does provide strong hold without leaving hair sticky and heavy. It leaves hair smooth and is very easily brushed through when you have finished with your up-do at the end of a day packed with career, shopping and being a momshell (smirk)

Cons: The main con to this effective and reasonably priced hairspray for me is the smell. No matter how effective the hairspray, it will always have an association with the bridge playing Blue Rinse Brigade for me

Value for money:. This hairspray is great value for money and remains one of the most reasonably priced and effective products of its kind on the market, I just wish they could transform the fragrance and ditch Cheryl while they are at it

Dulwichmum verdict: ★★★☆☆ purely due to the smell

Stockists: Available to view range at l’oreal-paris.co.uk and to buy at Superdrug.
