What I think:
One word: Wow! Seriously, I was amazed at the results of this product. As a picture is worth a thousand word, I'll let you see for yourself:

First day - morning

I simply curled my hair with a flat iron.

And a closer view of the curls just so you can see the texture better:

 First day - evening

First day - after a shower, to see if it was really humidity resistant (hair were loosely tied in a bun on top of my head)

My hair was still curly even after a shower!

Second day - morning

 Seconda day - evening (I brushed the hairspray out to see if it was easily brushed out)

  My hair was still wavy after I brushed the hairspray out!

I still can't believe this hairspray lasted me two complete days without making my hair greasy, sticky or flaky.

This hairspray really delivers super long lasting mega hold as I didn't even have to touch up my hair the second day. It was still nicely curly, something that never happens with my hair! The curls are always disappeared by the end of the day (and even before that), no matter how many products I use to prevent this.

When freshly applied, the hairspray makes my hair feels wet and stiff, but it's only a matter of minutes before it penetrates the hair.

My only complain (which is no big deal for me) is that my hair feels dry to the touch when I use this hairspray. However, I don't think it looks dry.
