The Boots Everyday Unperfumed Hairspray Firm Hold 300ml is just £1.60 a bottle and with rave reviews. 

Shoppers have even claimed it’s better than the cult-loved L'Oreal Hairspray by Elnett.

One dubbed it an “excellent alternative to Elnett”.

“I have been looking for an alternative to Elnett (not cruelty-free as made by L’Oreal) and thought I would give this a go,” they explained.

“It’s actually better than Elnett. 

“I use it when I clip up my hair to show off my undercut. 

“I have thick and long chest-length hair and this hairspray kept it in place.

“It also brushed out which I was pleasantly surprised about. 

“The bottle is also massive, so I won’t have to buy anymore for ages.”

Another fan of the bargain beauty product even said it’s perfect for biting winds currently sweeping across the UK. 

“Works for me,” they reviewed. 

“No stickiness, natural looking and an amazing hold even in breezy conditions.”

Other shoppers vowed to “never buy expensive hairspray again” after trying the Boots in-house product. 

As with all hairspray, it’s best to wash it out before bed

Haircare products, including serum, oil and mousse, can stick to your pillowcase fibres and build up over time.

The gunk is then rubbed against your face when you go to catch Zzz’s, duly blocking your pores and potentially causing spots. 

If you’re spraying your fringe, make sure you shield your forehead with your hand, or a paper plate, to minimise the products contact with your face. 

“The most common break-outs are due to the build-up of chemicals applied on the skin or scalp over time,” Rahua Beauty founder, Fabian Lliguin, said.

“The second is due to allergies. 

“And the third is due to incorrect regimen for skin or scalp type.”
