Overview

Bouclème Flexible Hold Hair Spray reimagines what hairspray can be for curly hair. Instead of the stiff, crunchy finish of traditional sprays, this delivers touchable hold that keeps styles in place without sacrificing movement. The flaxseed and vegetable protein base provides structure while remaining CGM-friendly.

Key Ingredients Breakdown

  • Vegetable Protein - Provides hold with strengthening benefits.
  • Flaxseed Extract - Natural hold agent that doesn’t stiffen or flake.
  • Aloe Vera - Keeps the formula flexible and moisturising.
  • Coconut Oil - Adds conditioning so the spray doesn’t dry out curls.

What We Love

  1. Flexible hold - Keeps style without stiffness
  2. CGM-friendly - No silicones or harsh ingredients
  3. Touchable finish - Can run fingers through hair
  4. Humidity resistance - Helps curls last longer
  5. No flaking - Unlike many natural hairsprays
  6. Pleasant scent - Light and not overpowering

What Could Be Better

  1. Contains protein - Not for protein-sensitive hair
  2. Medium hold only - May not be enough for some
  3. Mid-range pricing - More expensive than drugstore options
  4. 300ml size - Can run out quickly with regular use

How to Use

To Set Finished Style

  1. Complete your styling routine
  2. Allow hair to dry completely
  3. Hold spray 25-30cm from hair
  4. Mist lightly over entire head
  5. Avoid touching until dry (about 30 seconds)

For Frizz Control

  1. Spray onto hands
  2. Smooth over frizzy sections
  3. Less targeted than direct application

Pro Tip

Use after scrunching out the crunch for extra hold without adding another styling layer.

The Verdict

Bouclème Flexible Hold Hair Spray fills a gap in the CGM market—a finishing spray that actually works. At mid-range pricing, it’s worth considering for anyone who wants their style to last without the crispy, immovable finish of traditional hairsprays. The protein content limits its audience slightly, but for those who can use protein, it’s excellent.

Our Rating: 4/5
