i do not have broken hair [SEP] but i have baby fine hair that is also curly i always have hair around the hairline that will not lay flat or blend into the rest of my hair whether it is pulled back or down oh and do not even get me started on humid rainy days curly hair especially baby fine curly hair frizzes like crazy in humidity so yeah i could spray the crap out of my hair with hairspray and have one great helmet head with not a hair out of place but i absolutely hate hairspray besides that would require washing my hair every time i coat it with hairspray the problem is baby fine dry hair is not made to be washed daily soi have lived with all those crazy free wheeling hairs until trying this product it worked so well i was amazed and it did not leave my hair feeling like a hair helmet i used the mascara like wand around the hairline from one ear to the other and those little hairs stayed in place cool beans i will buy this again definitely
