Forget hairspray: this is the only product that actually holds a style in my fine hair

My hair has always been fine, and most days I'm grateful for its low-maintenance nature. I can wash it in the evening, wake up, brush it through and walk out the door.

But, on the occasions when I want to add in some bouncy curls or beachy waves with my best curling iron for fine hair, they used to drop out in minutes. It was incredibly annoying. That was until I discovered a product that changed everything - and guess what? It isn't hairspray.
