When it comes to cheer competition hair, the right hairspray makes all the difference. From building long-lasting volume to locking in a high-shine finish, choosing the best product can help you create a flawless, comp-ready look every time.

At The Perfect Posh, we’ve tried just about every spray under the sun—but two stand out as our absolute go-to hairsprays for cheer ponytails. These products keep your Posh looking secure, shiny, and stage-ready through every full-out.

Got2b Glued Blasting Freeze Spray

Best for: Holding the tease and securing the base of your ponytail

When it comes to strong hold for cheer hair, this is our MVP. Got2b Glued is a favorite among cheerleaders and hairstylists for a reason—it locks in volume, keeps your tease firm, and prevents slipping during stunts, tumbling, and long competition days.

Why We Love It:

• Unmatched hold: This stuff doesn't play. Once it sets, your tease isn't going anywhere.
• Perfect for layering: Spray directly on the tease and between layers of your base ponytail to lock in structure and grip.
• Sweat-resistant: Ideal for long competition days when hair needs to stay flawless under pressure.
• Pro Tip: Apply Got2b Glued during the teasing process—not just at the end. Layering it in between tease sections gives your ponytail unmatched hold and height.

Bed Head Masterpiece Shine Hairspray

Best for: Finishing your cheer ponytail with hold + shine

After you’ve teased, secured, and installed your Perfect Posh Ponytail, it’s time to add that stage-worthy shine. That’s where Bed Head Masterpiece comes in.

Why We Love It:

• Gorgeous glossy finish: Gives the hair a professional-level shine that reads beautifully on stage and in photos.
• Flexible hold: Great for a final touch.
• Perfect for smoothing flyaways: We love misting it lightly over the top layer of the ponytail and hairline for a polished look.
• Smells amazing: Bonus points for making your hair smell as good as it looks.
• Pro Tip: Use this as your final spray after your ponytail is styled and in place. Lightly mist it over the surface of the hair, then gently smooth with your hand or a soft brush for a sleek, photo-ready finish.

Final Thoughts: The Right Products = Flawless Cheer Hair

Using the best hairspray for your cheer ponytail can mean the difference between a style that lasts—and one that falls flat mid-routine. With Got2b Glued for hold and Bed Head Masterpiece for finish, your athlete’s hair will stay secure, shiny, and competition-ready from warmups to awards.
