Isoplus Additions Radiant Holding Spray (£2.50/10.6oz). It's always a good idea to carry a multi-functioning product like this one. Not only does it hold wigs and hair extensions without sticking or stiffening, it also doubles up as a thermal styler - perfect to use on setting styles and with ceramics. If you have sections of your own hair out, then with a few light sprays you can blend your tresses for a super-sleek finish. Stockist: Available in good hair stores
