Details & care
What it is: A firm-hold hair spray that provides extra-strong style, control and shine.
What it does: This hair spray is presented in a non-aersol bottle, and its formula offers great style memory.
How to use: For specific hold or to control a hard-to-maintain area, lightly mist onto slightly damp hair and blow-dry the section of hair with a round brush. For a soft hold that's brushable, hold the bottle as far away from your hair as possible and lightly mist.

Awful smell
Strong hold but horrible smell. Smells like cheap man cologne.

Everything they said it was
Makes my baby fine, thin, stick straight hair look full, curly with an iron, and shiny and rich, which is not easy to accomplish when your hair is 65+ years of age. Love it!

Excellent product.
Was very happy to see Aveda added to Nordstom's offerings.
This is a great hairspray, fantastic hold. Brushes out relatively easy (for a firm hairspray), smells great, and I love the fact that it is non-aerosol and much more environmentally friendly than most out there.
No complaints, only raves. Highest recommendations if you need a firm hold spray.

Love this!
I have such a hard time finding a hairspray that will hold my very fine hair. I have found through my experience that non-aerosol sprays work best, but even some of those sprays are subpar. This hairspray holds my style yet doesn’t feel sticky or stiff. This spray will be my go to from now on.

clogs up
If you love the smell of aveda this product works great. Unfortunately if you don’t use it regularly, it will clog up. I would only purchase if you use this multiple times per week. I tried to unclog it with hot water to no avail and now it is not usable

The only hairspray I'll use.
LOVE this hairspray. Firm hold, still feels like soft hair. Its magic! No aerosol, and of course, it smells divine.

What happened?
It seems like Firmata changed the formula! It's not the firm hold I've grown to love for years. I Have tried 3 recent bottles and all have been the same poor quality! Has become much more flexible hold.

Hi Heather- It's good to hear from our fans! Rest assured the Firmata Firm Hold Hair Spray has not been reformulated but we understand it has not hit the mark for you. We recommend our Control Force Firm Hold Hair Spray for firm, lasting hold with humidity defense formulated for all hair types. Click here, bit.ly/CFFHairspray to locate this amazing styling spray! Also, when you shop our website we offer a great return policy. Read all about how Aveda handles returns here, aveda.cm/Returns.

Doesn’t hold hair well at all.

Been using this forever and absolutely love it! I like a firm hold on my hair. Best product Aveda sells. It smells nice also.
