- “I've grown to like the one for fine hair better than the original formula, just because it is kind of a more oily spray. And so, if you have any sorts of natural oils that tend to come through quickly, definitely get the fine hair one even if you don't have fine hair, because I think it's just slightly less heavy”12:28–12:35

Brand note
NYC is a drugstore brand that shows up most often for its Mane Magic 10-in-1 Primer, which creators say makes hair shiny and soft, though the formula can feel heavy on fine hair. The rest of the line gets mixed feedback: the dry texture spray has a strong scent and weak hold, and the vanilla lip mask smells chemically despite a texture that dupes a pricier option. Worth a try if you're on a budget, but don't expect consistency across the range.
