My mentor told me to stop using alcohol-based sprays for volume and I was salty about it for weeks

My old instructor from beauty school said alcohol sprays dry out hair and ruin elasticity over time. I thought she was just being old school but I kept having clients come back with breakage after 3 months. Finally switched to a water-based foam for root lifting and the difference is crazy. Hair holds curl way longer and feels softer too. Has anyone else noticed this with their clients or is it just me?

I felt that "salty about it for weeks" part too hard. I was the same way when my mentor told me to ditch alcohol sprays, thought she was just hating on my routine. But yeah, once I actually switched to a water-based foam I noticed the same thing - way less breakage and the curls actually last.
