The Best Hair Products For Party-Proof Volume & Hold
Hair Perfect StyleFix Stick
£17 | JVN
Small enough to slip into your pocket, this nourishing wax is great for quick touch-ups. Glide it over a slicked-back style to tame strays or warm a little between your fingertips for more precise application. Thanks to a blend of plant butters, it also works as a soft smoother or light texturiser if you’re wearing your hair down.

Flyaway Kit
£20 | Larry King Hair
A Social Life For Your Hair is one of those pastes that can do a bit of everything – add texture, define curls, smooth and shine. But in this kit, teamed with the toothbrush-style brush, it’s all about taming flyaways and perfecting edges. It does the job brilliantly and the scent is addictive.

The Controlling Type Hair Thickening Edge Control
£22 | Fenty Hair
Designed for clean, glossy edges that actually stay put, this gel offers serious hold with zero flaking or white marks. It’s made to be kind to the skin around your hairline too, thanks to amino acids and a non-sticky finish that won’t interfere with make-up.
Available at SEPHORA.CO.UK
Manketti Oil Pomade
£55 | Charlotte Mensah
This softening pomade is as versatile as it gets: apply on wet hair before diffusing, use it to sculpt a slicked-back bun, define finger curls or add texture. It’s also great for keeping breakage and flyaways in place, with zero tell-tale crunch.

Volumising Blow Dry Mist
£28 | Olaplex
You can use this on damp hair before a blow-dry but it also works brilliantly as a next-day refresher. Just mist it into the roots and hit it with a quick blast of the hairdryer to revive volume without any stickiness. It’s a staple in plenty of hairdressers’ kits for a reason.

Raise The Root Thicken & Lift Spray
£15.05 (was £22) | Color Wow
If you’re aiming for big, bouncy hair, you need something that stops it falling flat. This formula uses clever elastomers that create invisible ‘springs’ at the roots, lifting hair without leaving any greasy film. For maximum bounce, add a little heat from the hairdryer after applying.

Full Dry Volume & Texture Spray
£26.35 (was £30.95) | Living Proof
Some texture sprays leave hair tacky, but this one does the opposite – it actually absorbs excess oil to help your style last longer. Spritz it into the roots for added lift or mist it through the ends to hold curls and add movement to hair that’s fallen a bit too flat.

Elnett Hairspray For Dull Hair
£5 | L’Oréal Paris
Despite being around for more than 60 years, this classic formula still holds its own. Your mother – and probably your grandmother – likely used it, and this updated version goes one better with added vitamin E for extra shine, minus the stickiness or stiffness.

Glued Blasting Freeze Hairspray
£4.52 (was £5.65) | Got2B
Sometimes a light hold won’t cut it – and when you need real staying power, this hairspray delivers. It’s not the one for a soft, tousled finish but for an updo that has to survive the entire night or an all-day winter wedding, it’s perfect. It also dries down with a subtle, light-reflecting sheen.
