Shake before each use.","12":"A Few Things to Note","13":"This is not a maximum hold hairspray that will freeze a prom up-do or 80s bangs. I can say with confidence that it's a flexible hold formula. I was a loyal user of firm hold hairspray for years before trying this formula, now I PREFER this to my old sprays.","15":"This formula has been tested on my brunette hair. Use an orange for darker hair, and lemons only if your hair is light-colored. There is a chance the lemon can lighten your hair when exposed to sunlight."}
