Reader Fran Russell recently found a can of forgotten Thicker Fuller Hair Volumizing hairspray by Schwarzkopf in her cabinet and fell in love. That’s too bad. Now, she can only find her favorite hairspray online for more than $100 per can. But, truthfully, even if it were made from baby unicorn tears, no hairspray is worth that much money for an 8-ounce can.

Unfortunately, a while back, Schwarzkopf discontinued the hairspray. According to a rep I spoke with, the company then unloaded the Thicker Fuller Hair name to High Ridge Brands, which recently revamped the line and created a four-product regimen that, unfortunately, doesn’t include hairspray.
