Balea Keratin and Volume Hairspray

A hairspray for under two euros seems like a hard ask but it is indeed possible. I adore the Balea brand, they are the home brand of the DM which is similar to a Superdrug or any other drugstore/apothecary. The products are usually nice for a good price, but what about this hairspray then?

What does Balea say about their keratin and Volume hairspray?
The Balea Professional Hairspray Keratin & Volume with extra strong hold strengthens and nourishes the hair with keratin, and provitamin B5 and protects it from heat up to 210° and UV radiation. With a 48-hour hold – ideal for long-lasting and voluminous styling. The micro spray provides a powerful hold all day long without sticking or weighing it down and is easy to brush out.

What do I think?
The spray itself sprays generously. I find the smell to be a bit overpowering, it is a nice smell. I feel it hangs in the air for a long time and that is not very nice in my opinion. I have a bit of an issue with overpowering sprays, it’s also not good for your lungs.

It does what it promises as it’s not sticky and does hold the hairstyle but due to the lingering of the hairspray in the air, I don’t think I would personally rebuy it. It is however not a bad one to try especially for the price.

The shampoo retails for €1,35 price and is 250 ml.
