Inside Beauty

The old-fashioned hairspray smell.

All hairsprays aren't created equal. Some have a heavy fragrance, often added by manufacturers to mask the distinctive scent of alcohol, explains Paul Labrecque. Give testers a spritz in a beauty-supply store to check the aroma before buying. (We love the light, fresh scent of the two shown left.) And try using one with a pump top, says Kattia Solano. Aerosols spray more mist all at once, which then hangs in the air longer, she says.
