This is a great firm hold hairspray.  I use it when I do an updo and I want no movement whatsoever.  The hold is very strong and it works no matter what the Florida weather dishes out, it even works when the humidity climbs.  This is my first can of Shaper and I bought it at Ulta duing a sale for $7.99.  I figured I had nothing to lose because the price was so low but I was pleasantly surprised that it worked so well.  Yes, it smells like a typical hairspray, but I'm not sensitive to it so it doesn't bother me.  But the fragrance dissipates quickly in any case.  This hairspray holds all day and into the next without leaving nasty white flakes, even if I use it several days in a row.  If you want a hairspray that won't allow your hair to move, then this is the right formula for you.  However, when I wear my hair down I want natural looking hold that allows movement, so I use Zero Gravity instead.  It's a flexible hold formula that has touchable, brushable hold.  When I wear my hair down I want it to look as natural as possible and Shaper is too strong for that purpose.  However, Zero Gravity is the perfect formula for this and now I have both formulas always on hand.  Sebastian definitely makes good hairsprays.  These two formulas are all I need.  I definitely recommend Shaper and Zero Gravity for all hair types.  Shaper is strong and Zero Gravity is light.  A perfect duo.
