This month, L’Oréal is relaunching Elnett in Australia, the famous 1960-born gold can of hairspray featuring that fabulously retro illustration. And even better, it’s as good inside as out. Hairdressers love it (and love the fact that they will no longer have to fork out huge excess baggage fees) for the way it can be so easily brushed out, no matter how much of the stuff is sprayed into hair. It’s the ultimate working spray for hairdressers backstage at the shows, when trying to take a model from bouffy beehive to smooth and sleek. And vice versa – there’s nothing like it for super-sizing hair to sixties-esque proportions. In the real world, it’s brilliant for giving overly soft or just-washed hair some of what the pros call ‘guts’; for taking hair from an office updo to out and sexy; and for holding a style while still allowing for natural movement.

Details: L’Oréal Professionnel Elnett Satin Hairspray, $19.95, call 1300 651 141 for stockist information.
