    What the gurus are saying

    Heat protection up to 230 degrees stands out as the real draw here, a meaningful jump from the brand's earlier formulations that topped out at 180 or 200 degrees. What gurus keep coming back to is how flexible it is, you can spray before you style, after you style, or both, and it won't leave that stiff, sticky feeling buildup tends to create. That makes it genuinely useful for anyone who likes to move between heat tools and likes their hair to actually move.

    "My Modern Hairspray because I can do anything with it. I can set hair with it. It's heat protection up to 230 degrees. We're constantly improving things because we could only get the heat protection up to 180 or 200 before, so the new batches have better heat protection."

    "I used the Sam McKnight Modern Hairspray, oh my God it's amazing, it's so good. You can actually use this before you style your hair, so not only is it really really flexible hairspray that doesn't build up, it is also heat protectant, so you can use this before or after or both when you style your hair. I love this stuff, highly recommend."
