Any styling pro will tell you hairspray is an essential product, but I'd bet when most of us think about hairspray we imagine (and fear) the crunchy, stiff, nearly immoveable effect of hairsprays past. Luckily the days of lacquered looks and "helmet head" are behind us—the latest and greatest innovations have undergone more than your typical makeover. Now, there's a whole category of flexible hold hairsprays; specifically, formulas that keep strands soft and touchable with the same commitment to polishing strands, taming flyaways and keeping frizz in check. (A must in this sweltering and humid summer weather.)

From drugstore formulas to salon-quality sprays, read on for 10 all-star hairsprays you can brush right through without sacrificing silky shine.
