When it comes to achieving that perfectly tousled, effortlessly cool hairstyle, a quality dry texturising spray is an absolute game-changer. Whether you’re aiming for a beachy, undone look or want to add some volume and grit to freshly washed hair, texturising sprays can give your locks the “lived-in” texture that’s almost impossible to replicate with other styling products.

The best part? You don’t need to be a pro stylist to make it work. With just a few spritzes, these sprays offer an instant, piecey finish that transforms flat, lifeless hair into a mane full of character and dimension. They add hold and structure without stiffness, giving fine hair a thicker feel and reviving limp curls with a natural, touchable texture.

Perfect for those busy days when you don’t have time for a full hair routine but still want to look put-together, a great texturising spray can refresh your hair’s volume and help you maintain that effortless style. Plus, many formulas today are infused with nourishing ingredients that support scalp health and hair strength – so you can keep your hair looking (and feeling) its best with each use.

Below, we’ve curated a list of the best texturising sprays, tried and tested to ensure they deliver on both style and substance. Whether you’re after movement and texture or the perfect prep for updos, these WH-approved sprays are here to elevate your hair game.
