How to Master The Hairspray Game.
Your hair, your rules, right? Well, almost. When it comes to hairspray, there are some unwritten laws that can make or break your style game. Let's dive into the dos and don'ts of using hairspray, ensuring your mane gets the royal treatment it deserves.
Keep Your Distance for a Flawless Finish
Spritzing hairspray is an art. The first rule: back up a bit. Hold that can at least six inches away from your glorious crown. Why, you ask? Spraying directly on your roots in a close encounter can turn your hair from fab to drab real quick. Too much product in one spot is a recipe for disaster - think greasy instead of shiny. So, play it cool, and your strands will thank you.
Volume is a Spritz Away
Dreaming of voluminous locks that defy gravity? Well, the secret weapon is in your hands. Literally. Grab a volume-boosting hairspray, like the L’Oréal Paris Elnett Satin Hairspray Extra Strong Hold Volume. Now, here's the trick: when you're sealing in your look, spray in between the layers of your hair. Use a comb or your fingers to part each layer, then give it a spritz or two. Voilà! Volume that won't quit.
Embrace the Brushable Hold
Stiff, crunchy hair? No, thank you. Opt for a hairspray with a brushable and flexible hold. You want your hair to stay in place, not feel like it's been molded into a statue. A formula that allows you to run your fingers or a brush through your hair effortlessly is the key to a natural and touchable finish.
Handle with Care After a Strong-Hold Affair
So, you've gone for the strong-hold formula, and your style is locked and loaded. But here's the catch: don't go ham on brushing right away. Trying to comb through hair that's been cemented in place can lead to unnecessary wear and tear. Be gentle, take your time, and your strands will thank you for the TLC.
Defy Static with a Strategic Approach
Static hair is the nemesis we all face, especially when winter comes knocking. Instead of pointing the can directly at your head, try this ninja move: spray the product into your hands, rub them together, and create hold. Now, run your hands through a blowout for a finish that's anything but sticky. Or, if you've got hot rollers or waves going on, brush them out with a paddle brush coated in hairspray to keep flyaways and frizz at bay.
Hairspray can be your style's best friend or its worst enemy, depending on how you wield that can. Master these dos and don'ts, and you'll be the commander-in-chief of your hair game, creating styles that turn heads and make a statement. Happy styling!
