If I discover something and post about it here it is usually good but never inexpensive Laughing

But today I discovered a great hair spray that is way less expensive than the shaper plus I have been buying. It is called Vitae by Lamaur. It really makes the hair shine and you can even get it in the unscented version. I bought it at Sally's Beauty Supply.

It cost around $5.00.
I have a lot of fine hair and it is straight.This spray works very well for me and combs out only leaving the hair nice and shiny. It is about time I found something that works well and is inexpensive!!! Very Happy

Sounds awesome Toby, Sally's is a little goldmine for less expensive treasures many times! Smile

Toby, that's the one I use as well. Never sticky and no scent. Love it and Sally's too.

How long have you been using it and what type of hair do you have?

I've been using it about 9 months with no issues. I have extremely thick, curly hair that I blow out most of the time. Over the course of the last 9 months I've gone from short to medium length. I also take Biotin for my nails and hair. I get tons of complements on the shine, volume and body of my hair. The spray never dulls my hair and after blowing out, helps lock out humidity. It has never damaged my hair.

As a note, I also use lots of Ion brand products on my hair that I find at Sally's. That small store is a wealth of amazing secrets. I have a Sally's card so I get many discounts as well. The women that manage the stores where I live have a wealth of knowledge that they share to help me make great choices.

I'll have to try and visit Sally's when I go to the US sometime.

I think there are some Sally's in Canada, too, according to the directory listing on their website: http://stores.sallybeauty.com/default.aspx

I just tried some random postal codes for BC, AB and ON and it found multiple stores for all three. Not sure what we are doing differently... Smile

Oops! I live in Toronto, and naively believed that we do not have any Sally Beauty stores, but we have at least 13 in the area! Shock

I must be driving with my eyes closed...

Thanks, havana8 ! I didn't include the postal code the first time I tried that.

I too must have been driving with my eyes closed Laughing

as I also had no idea there are Sally's in Canada, let alone my area!

Shaper Plus is a great hairspray so I was excited to read that you found this to be a suitable replacement, Toby. And for $5!! Shock

Crossing my fingers that my Sally's has it....

And just yesterday while styling I went to finish my hair off with a little spray and upon finishing it up, it just totally flattened out. Tried to fix it and spray again when I realized that instead of the hair spray, I had used an aerosol glass cleaner in my hair. There is nothing similar in the color of the containers. Sometimes I am such a ditz.

You are in good company....it happens to the best of us! Laughing

We've got a couple Sally stores in Ottawa now as well.

I sometimes look online to see what they are offering and read reviews from other customers. The Sally's Card they offer saves me a lot of money and they send me great offers by mail and email.

Their generic brands are also very good. I love their generic "Skinny Serum" which is formulated to be like Paul Mitchell's. It only takes about a dime size amount for my hair and it really help me blow out my hair and have it look all shiny but not oily. The cost is low as well.

Aussie and Dove have both been great for my long think hair. I use to use Rave and it does pretty well....I just didn't like the smell, so I switched to the above Wink

free skin care · Fri Dec 03, 2010 7:38 am

Yes, hanks Toby for sharing. Actually I tried sally's hair spray before. It's better than Dove's I think. It makes my long hair looks shiny and soft.

Regarding Vita/e hairspray, sold at Sally's. I bought it and am taking it back. It says "Non Parfume" on the front and lists Fragrance/Parfum in the ingredient list. I sprayed it on my hair and got a throbbing headache. Unfortunately, there are no laws regarding ingredients in cosmetics, though, this information is of utmost importance to those of us who are allergic. I can't afford to buy Clinique, at $12 plus $1.18 tax, in Tennessee. There are other expensive brands that ARE unscented, but I don't have a $50 a month hairspray budget. I have used Jhirmack for 25 years and finally, after it disappeared from stores (except for the purse size at Kroger), had to order from the Internet. Now, it has been discontinued. I may attempt to make my own from Aloe Vera, sugar and water, per a recipe that I found. There is a huge market for a company, with a heart, to make a fair priced unscented hairspray.

My co-worker swears by cheap hairspray she finds at the drugstore for giving her a rock-solid blowout. My Mom loves Alberto hairspray, the one in the navy blue canister.

Does the hairspray from Sallys ever flake? I hate that.

free skin care · Tue Mar 15, 2011 6:09 pm

while I don't doubt that these products work, but are they damaging to the hair?

free skin care · Tue Mar 15, 2011 6:27 pm

Thanks Toby ... I love Sally's too.

I have never heard of hairspray being damaging to hair! What kind of damage have you experienced?

free skin care · Sat Mar 19, 2011 10:01 am

No damage here and I use this hairspray daily. I have not had flaking either, but I use a light hand when applying. I get tons of compliments of my hair. I also swear by Sallys for so many of the items I use. It's an awesome place to shop in my area - A little gem of a store for sure.

free skin care · Sat Mar 19, 2011 11:26 am

cheap!its on sale right now online for 2.99! I wonder if its on sale in the stores for 2.99....

free skin care · Sat Mar 19, 2011 3:55 pm

Yes, it's on sale in the stores. I bought one today plus 3 packages of the hair conditioner they keep by the register that keep my hair in great shape.
