Bottom Line

Nexxus Maximum Hold Finishing Hair Spray impresses with its pleasant scent, quick-drying formula, and effective curl enhancement. However, its recent formulation change has left a sour note among loyal customers, who find the new version lacks the hold and lightness they prized in the old formula. If you’ve relied on Nexxus products in the past, be prepared for some adjustments with this version. For those looking for alternatives due to dissatisfaction with this new formulation, exploring other brands may be necessary to achieve the desired hold and feel.
