When the Don Draper look was all the rage, heavy pomades, gels, and waxes were a necessary part of the routine. However, as natural-texture looks gain prominence—see the rumpled hair at Valentino's spring show, above—you might be looking for something that’s going to enhance but not overpower your strands. Enter the non–hair spray hair spray. From texturizing solutions to hydrating oils, today’s spray-bottle hair products have just the right amount of power without any of the, well, crunch. Here, a few that we like, for a few different hair-texture concerns.

If Your Hair Needs DefinitionIf your hair tends to get a little poofy, this new detangling spray will add just the right amount of shine and definition without weighing it down too much.
Bumble & Bumble Surf Foam Spray, $31, available at bumbleandbumble.com
If Your Hair Needs TextureThink of this spray as next-generation mousse—it adds body and grip to hair but with way less stickiness and crispiness than the old-school foam did.

If Your Hair Needs a ResetIf you shower at night and find that your hair is all over the place by morning, this light, tea tree–and–juniper oil spray will help you get things under control right quick.
