Sebastian has missed the mark on this one. I read online that Fierce is the replacement for Shaper Mega Hold and confirmed that by calling Sebastian's customer service number. After placing my order and trying this product for over a week, I'm sad to say that Fierce IS NOT COMPARABLE to Shaper Mega Hold, and I am really disappointed.
I had used Shaper Mega Hold for many years--an incredible hairspray that truly provided long lasting hold. I have fine, straight, medium-length hair and have always had difficulty finding a hairspray that would hold a style--until I found SMH. SMH was SOOO fantastic! So I really wanted to love this SMH-replacement hairspray. Unfortunately, it has a lighter hold similar to Sebastian's 'Shaper' spray--great for styling, but certainly not a finishing spray with a strong hold like 'Shaper Mega Hold'.
Despite not having a long-lasting hold, Fierce is still a good spray to use while you are in the process of styling your hair, and it has a pleasant smell. Had it been marketed as the replacement for Shaper, I would have given it 5 stars. However, it is being marketed as an "Ultra-Firm Finishing Hairpray", and I cannot recommend this product for that purpose. I'm sad to say that anyone hoping for something similar to Shaper Mega Hold should pass on this one.
