I tried Aldi’s frizz-free hairspray for £5 – and it beats the £27 equivalent.

I tried Aldi’s frizz-free hairspray for £5 – and it beats the £27 equivalent.

There are many high-end hair care brands on the market, but it’s always nice to see a retailer offering a cheaper alternative.

I recently tried Lacura Wonder Spray from Aldi for £4.99, which claims to be similar to the Color Wow Dream Coat at £27 full price for the bottle.

The product contains Calendula Officinalis flower water, Chamomilla Recutita flower extract and glycolic acid. Hair lovers can save £22 by buying Aldi’s version, compared to Chris Appleton’s vital Color Wow Dream Coat Spray, which is the celebrity favourite.

Having used the Color Wow spray for over a year now, I was very intrigued to see if Aldi could live up to my expectations.

This is a heat-activated, moisture-protecting, shine-enhancing hair spray designed to leave hair looking shiny, waterproof, and with built-in heat protection.

There’s a lot I like about the Color Wow spray, but there’s also a lot I don’t like, including how much you have to use for it to be effective and how it sometimes leaves my hair feeling greasy.

It’s also incredibly expensive, retailing at around £27 full price.

I’ve always had a love-hate relationship with my hair: I hated how frizzy it was without using heat.

The Color Wow spray has saved my hair several times as it promises to keep my hair frizz-free and lasts multiple times.

That’s why I was thrilled to try Aldi’s cheaper alternative, which promises to transform frizz textures and provide extra moisture protection.

Wonder Spray costs just £4.99 for 200ml of product and is dermatologically tested and cruelty-free.

It claims to absorb excess oil and refresh hair, leaving it smooth and shiny for up to three days.

To test the products, I used the Aldi product alone for one week and then tested the Aldi product on one side of my hair and Color Wow on the other side.

First of all, they look very similar, but I prefer the look of the Color Wow bottles.

However, the test has nothing to do with how they look and everything to do with how they perform, and I was very surprised by the performance of the cheaper option.

The Lacura Wonder Spray produces a much finer mist when sprayed, which is ideal for preventing too much product buildup, an issue I had with the Color Wow bottle.

It doesn’t have a very strong scent, but from what I can smell, I prefer the Color Wow scent, which isn’t too strong at the same time.

When blow-drying my hair, I sprayed the same amount of product on each side to test how well Aldi worked.

After using the Lacura spray, my hair didn’t feel greasy at all and I preferred the mist to be more subtle. It also worked very well when blow-drying hair, performing just as well as the expensive alternative.

In fact, when my family was asked which side of my hair was smoother and less frizz-free, 100 percent of them said the Aldi side.
