Aussie Instant Freeze Hairspray [Is the OLD formula really back?]

[@RickiLanders]

Called them and I am ready to start a petition if they aren’t back to original formula.

[@erix372]

I saw this title and immediately thought “please be true, don’t play with my feelings!” 😂❤

[@SharaleesBoxOfChocolates]

😂Totally understand!! That was how I felt when I first heard it might be back😘

[@Kathern-lv9nv]

Read my comment right above yours. It didn't stay in my hair.

[@jodioverby8512]

OMGosh me 2! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Aluviel]

@@jodioverby8512 so they just lied and pretended to bring the old formula back?

[@laurieg2436]

I’m a retired hairstylist that’s LOVES Kenra but after watching your channel have purchased Aussie. I have bought the new one and like it very much, wearing it today!

[@SharaleesBoxOfChocolates]

Wonderful!! So happy to hear that!💖

[@AJ.943]

🙋🏼‍♀️ Retired hairstylist here too!! Kenra is amazing; I must admit however that Aussie Instant Freeze has been my all time favorite for ultimate hold, even over professional sprays. I am so overjoyed that it’s back , I depend on it for my own short hair lol ! 🥰

[@mellymel1100]

Another lady recommends kenra, but I bought some and it was like superglue in my hair, and crusted up the nozzle every time! LOL!!!

[@Love_In_Bloom60]

Love your NEW blonde highlights and haircut!! ❤❤ I'm definitely going to be buying the Aussie Instant Freeze hairspray. It's WAY less expensive than the Bed Head Hard Head hairspray. Plus, it doesn't hold my hair in place that well. And I even have the EXTREME HOLD formula. Good to know that Aussie went back to their original formula. 😊😊

[@laurieg2436]

@@trishthedishbliss60 nothing. It’s about the Aussie Instant Freeze hairspray.

[@jtperreca]

I am so glad to hear this! I've been buying the old cans off of Ebay and Amazon. As the supply has shrunk of the old formula, the price has risen to $20 per can! I''ll try a new can and I'm cautiously optimistic.

[@tammyfisher7489]

Just bought a new can of the old , new formula and very happy it's back. I like the scent and the hold is like the old!! So happy Aussie took notice and gave us back the old , new formula!! THANK YOU AUSSIE!!!!

[@SharaleesBoxOfChocolates]

YES!!🎉👏😘

[@elizabethlauricella7176]

Oh I’m going start reading for alcohol first. Thank you.

[@deborahgleason6582]

Thank you!!! I thought it was my hair (thick and turning grey). I have used Aussie for YEARS! When they came out with the water under pressure my search was on! Back in the 70’s we could get laquer and dilute it. Worked great! I can’t find it now. Thanks for letting us know Aussie is back. I found the water spray smelled like bathroom disinfectant.

[@barbarahill904]

I've recently had my hair cut similar to yours & I absolutely love all the Bed Head styling products

[@jackiec.8132]

I just happened to Google if Aussie Freeze came to their senses and bought back the original freeze formula. And your video was done one ago! How ironic! THANK GOD!

[@donnacooper5991]

WOW!!!! You have no idea how happy I am!!! THANK YOU! I've purchased (for $$$$) a few times from ebay. So glad my Aussie is back! HALLELUJAH!

[@sherrirapp]

I'm so excited about your new findings. I ran around to every Ollies on the West Coast of Florida. I bought cases and cases of the original that Aussie sent to Ollie's to get rid of. Lol Now I'm relieved to know that when I blow through all my extra stash, I can go back to the shelf and Walmart. You made my day thank you. I'm hoping they reformulated the freeze as well.

[@carlabass7413]

OMG that makes my day because I had three cans. I was stingy with them and I’m almost out of my third one and I didn’t know what I was gonna get. Lol now I know thank you.❤❤❤

[@SharaleesBoxOfChocolates]

Yay!! You are most welcome!🤗

[@christysbutterfly1612]

I've been an Aussie fan since i was young (53 years old now) I've religiously used Aussie Moist and the 3 minute miracle. Definitely inspired my children by staying brand loyal because thats all they use now for their families ❤ I remember as a teenager Id have cans of their Freeze rolling everywhere in my car and my friends would give me grief over it 😊 I sported the "Roxette" pixie back in the 80s.

[@SharaleesBoxOfChocolates]

😍I would have loved being your friend in high school, knowing you had extra hairspray in the car just in case my "big hair" needed a touchup😆😘

[@slott419]

So glad they went all the way back to the OG formula. They listened to their customers. 😊

[@lisapierce525]

Hey Sharalee! Thanks for the update. I don’t understand why they had to remove the hydrating ingredients but I’m just happy that it’s back. I love your hair coloring and cut. You’re such a doll!❤

[@SharaleesBoxOfChocolates]

Thank you, sweet lady💖 Totally agree on the ingredients but at least it's better than the last one they put out!😂

[@gizmo7877]

Thank you for going through all that effort to test the new formula. To be fair though, the hair you test must grow from your scalp in exactly the same direction to get the best results. One can’t grow to the left, say, and the other to the right or naturally stand up and not bend either way. All things must be equal. I had a Bed Head spray that must have leaked overnight. It fell in the rim groove and dried hard as a rock. It came out of the nozzle too, like sticky goo!! And I put that stuff on my hair?! UGH! It was clear with little bubbles in it! Can’t we find a healthier spray than that?

[@Aluviel]

Thank you to those who confirmed that it actually works like the old formula did. Anyone else seem to think it works just as good? I didnt notice any shine difference. Totally agree that its good they took that oil out. I feel that was what was ruining the hold. I wish I would have thought about taking all the cans I bought back.. I was so in shock I didnt even think about doing that.

[@patg.7192]

Thanks Sharalee. You've taken the guess work out of choosing a good hairspray. I still like the Bed Head Hard Head, and I'll be trying the Chi Helmut Head, but I'll also try the new old formula of Aussie. Thanks again for all of your recommendations! 😊😊

[@kathykit7629]

Great news. I can’t believe they actually listened. Going to try it again.

[@SharaleesBoxOfChocolates]

Right?!🤗

[@Reyna-nv3mr]

Omg!! Thank you!! I can’t wait to try it!! I was googling this issue again because I was missing my amazing Aussie hairspray and happily found your video!! 🎉 I don’t love the Bedhead spray so I can’t wait to get my hands on the new “old” Aussie and try it!! 👏

[@tammyg2631]

My favorite hairspray ever!! Hope you didn’t get flooded!!

[@SharaleesBoxOfChocolates]

Thankfully, we didn't have to pull out our boat...but it was close!🌧️😘

[@melindacleary5143]

I’m so glad I saw this video because I have this Hair Spray and I wasn’t using it because I thought it was the ones with the water. I used it today and my isn’t moving.. Love this Hair Spray..

[@ginasmith6145]

I was recently cleaning out the kids' bathroom since they never throw away empty bottles/containers. I found an almost full can of the original Aussie hairspray. It's now in my bathroom since my daughter has moved on to something else. I'm glad to hear the new "old" one is good.

[@SharaleesBoxOfChocolates]

Talk about finding hidden treasure!!😆😘

[@Tammy-pj2ht]

Thank you so much! Will back to my favorite Aussie instant freeze immediately!!

[@jagolliher]

Thanks so much for your recommendation of the Aussie hairspray. I am loving it. Of course I checked to make sure that the first ingredient was alcohol.

[@julieligon8177]

I got my 1st can of the new/old formula last week & I truly feel like the end result is very close on my hair. I really do like it! I feel like my hair feels & looks like it should!!!

[@michellegray9078]

I actually went and bought this for the first time and yes I did ck the ingredients before I bought it. Thanks for the info.

[@SharaleesBoxOfChocolates]

Hope you love it!!

[@christinerenteria51]

Can't believe old formula is back!!! Awesome!!!

[@user-nz4xr1oe4h]

Thank you for your newest update. I have really enjoyed your commitment to this struggle. And it's been quite the struggle. It makes me laugh that they couldn't completely go back to every single ingredient. Why not? Either way as soon as I find it back on the shelves here in Akron, Ohio I will be buying it. As of now I'm using got 2b glued which helped me on this journey. Thanks again for all your hard work!

[@sunnybuns2008]

Thank god !!!! The old cans I ordered a tons and was low and getting nervous

[@VictoriasRoses]

I have been using this for a week. I watched your video on this and I found the new formula. I have used Tresseme for about 35 years. I think Tresseme changed their formula. Since I have switched to Aussie my hair looks wonderful. I think it washes out easier than Tresseme. Thank you for this video :)

[@terrihostetler632]

Thank you for making my hair happy. I have been so frustrated with the products I have used either no hold or drying out my hair. I literallylifted my hands and said YES. Thank u for bringing so much needed info. You are precious! Have a Jesus filled day and thank u again!❤

[@SharaleesBoxOfChocolates]

♥️♥️♥️😘

[@adelericciardi7845]

Thank you for the update!!! I called them too and they sent me coupons back and have been on the hunt for a new one for a while!!

[@MemeinAndDreamin]

Hi Sharalee, dude here. Been using Aussie Instant Max Hold since early high school. Only spray I found that worked for the way my hair is (stylists say it's weird lol). Held all day long and then some without smelling too "girly". I have very long hair but I use the spray to style up the bangs and the top. Was super disappointed with the new formula, had to go through all sorts of other brand sprays and of course nothing worked. Had to reapply multiple times a day. Saw the new can at the market today and had to check and see if you said anything about it. Sure enough, you did! Many thanks. Picked up a bottle, wish me luck.

[@dawnpyles]

Thank ya 4 doing this , and comparing the 2 🥰

[@SharaleesBoxOfChocolates]

You bet!🥰

[@Ladyinpink607-ju2kd]

My prayers have been answered!!! Thank you for letting us know.

[@AJ.943]

Hi Sharalee!!!! So, the first thing I did when you put out the short that it was back…..was buy a can and compare the ingredients with the old formula….thats when I noticed the jojoba and the other extracts missing. But ….that being said; I have to say that the “new” old formula really is just about it, and it’s great!! It holds my hair just the same as Aussie Instant Freeze always did!! I’m VERY pleased with it, and if Aussie were to have gone right to this formula and skipped that horrible “water” formulation; I honestly would have never even noticed the change. At least not with the performance of it. I may have thought the fragrance had changed; but like you, I like the new fragrance better anyway. All in all; I’m very happy it’s back to this now, and I am back to my Aussie Instant Freeze!!!!Thank GOODNESS!! 💜

[@shizukananagusame1214]

Thank you for your thorough testing and review. I wrote Aussie early on, and they responded by telling me that their new water formula was superior. I felt like they didn't listen to me or appreciate my opinion. As a result of your efforts, several others reached out to Aussie customer service. Eventually, they must have acknowledged the overwhelming volume of our collective voices and returned the highly effective ingredients from the old formula to us. This product, in my opinion, surpasses all others and comes at a price comparable to a drug store price. What could be better?

[@janetHarley775]

Sharalee, there is someone on Pintrest using your picture to advertise wigs. Marco Polo wholesale, I think it is called. I thought you may want to know. Take care.

[@RaeAnne232]

Thank goodness. I just bought two cans of " It" brand and it doesn't hold a candle to the old Instant Freeze. Instant Freeze has been absent from store shelves where I live, this the reason I bought IT brand. I'll be looking for Instant Freeze for sure.

[@allkindsamusicchick]

Aussie is my favorite. I have tried sooooooo many brands over the years!!!

[@wilnabrown5377]

I love how you coordinated your top and nails to match the packaging. Loving your hair! Looks beautiful!!!

[@SharaleesBoxOfChocolates]

😄 I wondered if anyone would notice that...gold star for you!⭐️

[@DarkestWolfe]

I really hope it's back since I just got a can. Old school goth here....if you really want it to freeze or spike you have to spray it then hit it with the hair dryer.

[@guylainevincent3704]

Great review, thank you. I’m from Canada and I’ve just ordered the old formula one on Amazon. Hope it will be the same as the picture, because on the picture it’s says jojoba oil. 😊

[@SharaleesBoxOfChocolates]

Oh yes, I hope so too!! If it isn't, get a refund!

[@sonyaastridge6166]

The one she likes doesn't have it

[@devangel3614]

I found a NEW Replacement for Aussie. Still not finding it yet in store and I don't trust online to send the right one. I found BTZ( beyond the zone) Frozen Stiff. It literally works better than Bed Head and maybe Aussie. You can enter a wind tunnel. It smells like citrus, does have some simethecones in it, but leaves the rest way behind in holding power $10.99 at Sally's ❤

[@SharaleesBoxOfChocolates]

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll have to look for it and give it a try!

[@fayeehm7307]

So fun … my kind of science “experiment”! I’ve been using the new/old formula and agree 💯% with your observations. ❤

[@elainemarco2672]

Did they raise the price!??? I have the old one still so I didn't know the issues. But I'm glad I still have my old one, I have short hair so I don't use a lot. I do remember years ago Aussie always smelled like grapes. My daughter's and I loved it. I still by the products, shampoo, the gel, hairspray! Thanks

[@SharaleesBoxOfChocolates]

The price has definitely been going up slowly through the years. But I think it's pretty close to what it was before the reformulation.

[@CGC1949]

THANK YOU! I'm going to buy the new/old one today! I've been using CHI Helmet Head with "okay" results but I have really missed Aussie.

[@sharronwolfe7711]

Great comparison video! I have the Instant Freeze after you recommended it, but next time I make a purchase will go to the “new/old” Aussie! So glad they brought it back!

[@CharLemiski]

Thanks so much for this video. I’m wondering if you ever used the joico ice mist, non aerosol, which has been discontinued. The hold was amazing. Was hoping joico would bring it back! But so far, no luck. I will try the Aussie hairspray!

[@jeankintzler6340]

Thank you for posting this....I purchased the New/Old and it works great for my hair. I was using Bedhead however prefer the Aussie.

[@mgromz]

I wish they hadn’t reformulated the OG Sprunch Spray. I have straight hair and used it for years.

[@lauravega6902]

I found it and I am so happy. Glad Aussie listened. Thanks!

[@nurse19711]

Thanks so much for the info !! I love your hair.. your stylist is so talented!! Your haircut is on point!! ❤️👍

[@SharaleesBoxOfChocolates]

Oh thank you so much!! Yes, Kristen is AMAZING!!✂️😘

[@devangel3614]

I remember the grape scent lol. Weird that on Walmart site you can get the old one with Jojoba in it for about $34 for 2 or 3 cans. My guess is someone found it somewhere and bought up some old stock I was excited, thinking it was really back the same until I saw your video. But I will be ordering a can. THANK YOU ❤

[@jenilarosa3210]

I have been using other brands and was never happy im so excited

[@THECHADM1971]

Thanks so much! if I find it I will buy it, I have moved on to my Bed Head spray which I love, but will give my old Aussie a shot again for sure !

[@Love_In_Bloom60]

Love your new blonde highlights!! ❤ And thank you for this video. I will be purchasing the new/old Aussie hairspray (hopefully) this weekend at my local Walmart. 😊

[@PauloLetsGo]

Bruh I just bought a original bottle for $20 on Amazon lol. But I appreciate this video and now will be looking for the alcohol based ingredient.

[@user-gv8pe4xe4r]

it even sounds better coming out of the spray!

[@lorimccoy5321]

Thank you for the update. I’ll be checking my local grocery for the new/old stuff

[@libbymiller5240]

Sharalee, this was GREAT!! And, let me just tell you, I LOVE your hair color!! I am calling my hairdresser tomorrow cause I need a little more blonde and I tried growing my hair out this past year, but I am not happy with it! I think as we get older, shorter hair styles look better. I am ALWAYS changing my mind when it comes to hair!! LOL... Gonna run out and get that hairspray tomorrow too!! Lots of love and blessings....

[@Wishingwell1988]

So the new-old(ish) formula with alcohol is definitely better than the temporary water based one. But I’m finding that the new formula causes flaking. The old-old formula with jojoba etc. didn’t do that. Do you have any recommendations for any post-hairspray moisturizing mist or some other techniques to avoid the flaking caused by the new formula? Aussie instant freeze’s hold is still better than anything else I’ve tried so I don’t know if switching brands is the right solution (unless you have other recommendations that have similar hold to Aussie instant freeze maximum hold).

[@jessicaneff1899]

Now if we could just get the aerosol sprunch spray back! I bought 30 cans on ebay of old instant freeze formula. Still have plenty but would love to have sprunch aerosol back, have never found a replacement

[@debbiemccann3711]

Just found it at my Walmart.I also got a hold of their customer service.❤

[@annepurser215]

Love you hair regardless. Haven't seen the Aussie hairspray here in uk so just to mention the Tresemme hairsprays have the same first ingredient (not water). I use level 3 and 5 depending on weather. Incidently your lipstick looks like it would last all day so any chance of a dedicated video with best/worst for staying power. Thank you

[@donnalivermore6769]

Hi Sharalee, I loved the video. I remember using aussie back in the late 80's or early 90's I couldn't use it because the smell gave me a headache so I'm interested in seeing if I'm able to use the new formula also can you do a grwm on the look you have on in this video it's so beautiful

[@kayschwartz4410]

I do not like a company that cuts corners on quality by watering down products...nope not buying their crap. I had been using that hair spray for years...never again. They are still deleting ingredients!!! No no no ...not gonna work with me. When I realized I was spraying WATER on my hair I threw away that crap and switched to Tresemme and love it. Never again Aussie...you will never rip me off again.

[@elainemarco2672]

Can anyone tell me, I recently noticed dry flaky stuff in my hair, scalp, so I bought head &shoulders now, but is it just dry scalp or dandruff?? I never had dandruff so I don't know what it is!? I'm 68,I have been using rosemary oil on parts of my scalp because of thinning around me too, crown?

[@tammyg2631]

Just had a chat with Aussie & they are sending me a coupon for 9.00! This is for the new formula that’s junk!!

[@jayripton3263]

A year ago when they wrecked the formula I was using for 20 years, it was terrible, the closest one I could find that wasn't incredibly expensive was "John Frieda's Hairspray"....The formula was SO bad that I KNEW they had to change it back...and I just randomly at a Fry's store (Kroger everywhere else) just looked at the ingredients on the Aussie Instant Freeze, and low and behold it as changed (MOSTLY) back...Apparently I wasn't the only one to notice, it flew off the shelves for a couple weeks a bit hard to find, but now it's in stock all the time, thank god.

[@lindaidzinski1851]

Love the lipstick color u have on. Can u let us know the brand and color?

[@marlahouston5249]

I just bought some from Amazon and it does not spray like the old one. It’s spraying like a white foam and leaving my hair feeling wet and weighing it down. Not impressed. Water was listed as 3rd ingredient too

[@karlaharvey2623]

Thank you Sharalee for the comparison and update on Aussie. Do you think you will ever stop bleaching your hair and going back to your natural color? Do you get concerned about the overall damage of your hair especially as we age? Just curious. 😊 my hair would all fall out having so much very frequent bleaching done to it. I think you would look so pretty with your natural color, you are beautiful regardless.

[@andreac9918]

Kenra ruined their holy grail Volume Spray 25 recently with a new formulation. The scent is the absolute worst, you smell it all day and the hold is abysmal. There was no warning, no sticker to warn customers, just changed. Very bait and switchy. I'll give Aussie a try. Thank you!!

[@audreyso1201]

Hello my friend, have a good day

[@Tammy-pj2ht]

It’s already out of stock at my Walmart!

[@SharaleesBoxOfChocolates]

Hopefully it will be restocked very soon!

[@LD-lr9zp]

The new formula is drying my hair out like crazy 😭 Anyone have any tips?

[@hellokittydoll2794]

Depending on your hair type. . .maybe try using some oil on the mid lengths and ends and brush through your hair. Then do a light mist of the hairspray. Make sure to choose an oil for your hair type and particular hair needs. OR you could try using a more moisturizing shampoo and conditioner set. You have to consider what style you're trying to achieve and how your hair reacts to certain products and styling methods. I hope this helps!

[@lynntomk]

Halleluiah!

[@nancycouch4419]

I bought 4 cans online a while back. I didn't return it soon enough. Yuk.
