Hair styling products like gel, mousse or hairspray are not interesting for me. I almost never use them except attending parties or special events. Why? I have several bad experiences using those sticky and drying products and I always ended up losing a couple of hair or even more!
I'm glad styling products nowadays are user friendly and environmental friendly! I'm glad its easier to choose products now based on your need. And a hairspray that's meant for hold, style and volume? Interesting ....

Nick Chavez Volumizing Extra Hold Hair Spray says ---
Fast-drying volumizing extra hold spray provides firm hold with a light mist; stronger control with more precise application; and extra support when concentrated in a particular area.
For All hair types, from fine to heavy, and from curly to textured.
Infusing hair with fabulous volume and fullness, the spray holds your style all day long while allowing your hair the freedom of movement without a stiff and tacky look or feel. Hair remains brushable for restyling and reholding. Botanical extracts add shine and Panthenol/ProVitamin B5 helps moisturize and control static as your hair resists humidity.

SD Alcohol 40, 1,1, Difluoroethane, Ethyl Ester of PVM/MA Copolymer, Aminomethyl Propanol, Phenyl Trimethicone,PEG /PPG -18/18 Dimethicone, Octylacrylamide/Acrylates/Butylaminoethyl Methacrylate Copolymer, Panthenol, Dimethyl Stearamine, Glycerin, Linoleamidopropyl Ethyldimonium Ethosulfate, Dimethyl Lauramine Isostearate, Lactamide MEA , PEG -75 Lanolin, Benzophenone-3, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Lawsonia Inermis (Henna) Extract, Humulus Lupulus (Hop) Extract, Spirulina Maxima Extract, Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Fruit Extract, Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Root Extract, Hedychium Coronarium Root Extract, Fragrance (Parfum)"

Pros
Overall
It is a great hairspray, but I wouldn't go all the trouble to purchase it and wait for weeks for this to be shipped at my door step. I think there are other hairsprays that can do the same hold Nick Chavez gives but what I love about this product is how I can still brush my hair if I made a "spray" mistake and I won't have white flakes on my hair that looks like dandruff.
Another selling point about this hairspray is the "volumizing" factor it gives as compare to other hair sprays in the market. My mom uses hairspray each time she goes out as she has to spray her hair in place as her hair is fine and she needed the volume on the front area. I've given this to her as a gift and she loves it as the volume stays and it smells gorgeous!

I think I can skip this one, there are other available hairsprays easily purchased locally that works as good.
Where to purchase and how much?

Pros
- smells great
- does not create "crunchy" hair
- since it doesn't feel crunchy on hair, this product works great with heated tools
- gives flexible hold
- can easily comb out the hair without flakes
- hair does not look "sprayed" or all made up, hair can still look naturally soft and shiny
- cannot be purchased locally

Tips
from Nick Chavez
- For volume - lift your hair and spray at the root area in short bursts. Then lightly mist your entire head to set.
- To achieve an allover hold - spray in short bursts while holding the can eight to 12 inches from your hair.
- To achieve a texturized look - spray and scrunch.
- use this to spray on curls directly to let the curls hold especially on humid weather like ours
- want the sideways bangs? Spray this several inches away from the bangs
- quickly blowdry the area that has been sprayed with the hairspray to hold the hair in place
- if you have friends in the US? Ask them to help you purchase, they do come in great deals once in awhile
- wash your hair after, never leave hair styling products onto hair for too long
