I’ve used several “Aussie” products over the years, but I have to say that I am just not a fan of their “Instant Freeze” line.
All of the products in the line make claims such as “keeps your updo UP” …that’s a bold claim that really can’t possibly hold true for all hair textures, types, etc. The texture of your hair after using this line reminds one of a scene from There’s Something About Mary. The fine print on the bottle leaves out the part that when you wash your hair your eyeballs will burn as if a family of wasps set up habitat in your sockets.
The ever-frustrating thing about this line is that the spraying action of the hairspray is halted every few sprays by a building stickiness that threatens to harden before you are finished “cementing your updo”. Think you’re going to grab the bottle of hairspray when you come home from work and spritz a little on before going out for dinner? Ha! Think again…instead you will spend 10 minutes rinsing the nozzle out under warm (scalding hot, truth be told) water to loosen the dried hairspray.
When this doesn’t work, you may find yourself fishing around in the nozzle head with a pin to try to clear the airway, so to speak. After deciding that your hair is better off without this product, you gently toss the whole bottle in the trash and make the decision to never purchase something from that sticky line again.
You have to wonder how good for your hair something THAT sticky is…it reminds me of high school when Rave and Aqua Net were a girl’s best friend. This is the same stuff, it’s just in a purple bottle with a kangaroo on it.
