For a sheer hairspray the hold is exceptional. I style my hair and I need to have it "locked in". This hairspray didn't just sit on my hair making it stiff or dull, it held the style I created and I was able to continue styling without working any more product in. I usually don't like aerosol type hairspray but this one gave real bang for your buck and held my style. It's a bit pricy but I would have to say worth the money. (I paid $4.99 for 1.5 oz).
