Finally got a stubborn client's hair to hold a curl for more than an hour

This client has super fine, straight hair that would drop any curl I put in it almost right away (like, within 30 minutes). I tried everything, even prepping with a strong hold mousse. Last week, I sectioned her hair and sprayed each section with a light-hold hairspray *before* I curled it, then did my normal curling routine. I used the Kenra Volume Spray 25, for reference. The curls actually lasted through her whole dinner date, about 4 hours. Has anyone else tried pre-spraying on hair that just won't hold?

That pre-spray trick is a total lifesaver for hair that fights curl. Been there with clients who have that super fine, slippery texture. Lightly misting each section before the iron creates a grippy base that the heat can really set. It's like giving the style something to hold onto. @troy_palmer76 is right, it changes everything for fine hair. A light-hold spray works best so it doesn't get crunchy or sticky while you're working.

I always thought you had to spray after curling for hold. That Kenra trick with the pre-spray on each section is a total game changer for fine hair though. Might have to try that next time my sister asks for help.
